OK, I'm not sure what the term for this is but if I take a URL and put it in a status update in facebook, before I submit it pulls in an image from the page and the page title and makes a nice little framed image link to post instead of just a URL. 1) what is that called and 2) any way I can do that with vBulletin?

I still don't know what the term is but apparently vBulletin 5 does this. I'm guessing there's not a vBulletin 4 plugin.

You should add the HTML tags in the headinclude template.

No, what I'm looking for has nothing to do with Facebook, I was just using that as an example. What I want is when someone posts a link on my forum (to say a news site) that it will pull in a thumbnail and the story summary LIKE facebook does. Not for actually posting to facebook.
