Vitto32, I think you are right and that this has something to do with the jpg format or the meta data in the jpg.

I created a new post with an image that I knew worked. The preview worked after a Share.

I switched the image to one that didn’t work. The thumbnail preview did not show the new image, proving that FB does not refresh the thumbnail data once it scraped the page.

I created a new post with the image that did not work. Image appears on thumbnail selection, does not appear on Share.

I took this image into Photoshop and used “Save for Web” with only the copyright and contact EXIF.

I placed this image on a new post, thumbnail preview works, Share works!

I’m using Lightroom to export all my images. I’ll try now to isolate what is different in the image that worked and did not work, at least here is a workaround for new posts. Can someone do this with 2.9.1? I’m still on 2.8 and not upgrading for now.

I probably should do a few more test cases before I get too excited ??

I’ve been working on this for 2 days…I concur it is not a 2.9 problem as I am running 2.8.4. My case is the same as philsteele, although I do have some older posts where the thumbnails do appear correctly. I also have images in a NextGen gallery and these seem to work.

I can’t for the life of me find any difference between the images that work and do not work. Some are hosted on the blog’s server (GoDaddy) and some are linked through pBase. No correlation.

Does anyone know if FB refreshes the thumbnail list each time you attempt to attach? Is there a waiting time or a way to force FB to re-scrape the blog? I probably should be creating new posts as was suggested. I do hope someone comes up with the answer. Right now it seems random.
