Facebook Image URL?

I'm having issues with this and wanted to see if anyone can help me with this problem. I can't get any image to post to Facebook. Any ideas?

Image URL
Specify a URL for an image that you want to represent your site. This image will appear next to published content in a user's newsfeed, as well as be used to represent your site in the Open Graph schema. Leave this blank if you do not want to have an image.

Hey guys, there's a bug report for this here:
http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBIV-10916

I shared my workaround there, although it's a pain. Still, it's better than having no graphics (or repeated graphics) when sharing on FB for marketing purposes:

Quote:

As a workaround, enable HTML in ACP -> vBulletin CMS -> Permissions (HTML for Admin only).

Edit the article, paste this HTML code at the very bottom:

<head><link rel="image_src" href="http://yoursite.com/yourarticle/yourimage.png" /></head>

This will force FB to choose your specific article image as the thumbnail.
