Thumbnail does not appear in facebook Wall post

[vijayninel]

Hi,

We use facebook to promote our forums with members. When we share some forum link with members, the Facebook page is unable to draw a image from attachments and create a thumbnail from it. The thumbnail image is important because it tells people something about the link and draws their attention towards it. Consequently the impressions are higher from a link with a thumbnail which relates to the topic of the link.

Our facebook pages are able to draw images from a vBulletin forum of ours but it is not able to draw images from a Xenforo forum and create thumbnails from it. We just get the members avatars which usually does not relate to the thread topic.

I request you to please look into this issue.

I have moved the thread from bug reports as this is not a bug.

Currently only the Facebook logo or author avatar is displayed from threads which are shared on Facebook.

Then can I request that this thread be moved to the Suggestions forums as a feature request?

It has already been suggested: http://xenforo.com/community/thread...og-description-and-og-image-per-thread.11054/
