This simple trick allows you to change Thread's Meta tag from ForumHome Meta details to thread description.

Before :

After :

Instruction :

Edit facebook_opengraph in the template

Replace :

Code:

<vb:each from="opengrapharray" key="property" value="content"><meta property="{vb:raw property}" content="{vb:raw content}" />
</vb:each>

with

Code:

<vb:each from="opengrapharray" key="property" value="content"><meta property="{vb:raw $threadinfo['description']}" content="{vb:raw content}" />
</vb:each>

That's all.

Now when you share in facebook, you will see the Thread desc as the meta tag.

Disclaimer :

I tried changing many codes in Template and finally succeeded. So I am not responsible if there is any problem.
Length of Meta Keyword/description may be greater than 200 words.

P.S :
Facebook caches the meta title and desc. when you try to share any link. In that case, you won't see any new meta details. So add ?v=1 or &p=19 [something like that]
eg. http://collegers.net/showthread.php?...enter-HOAX?v=1

Otherwise check the meta details using
http://www.seocentro.com/tools/searc...-analyzer.html

**If you are using vbSEO , this Mod is not necessary

@CouponWC :
I checked the Meta tag using seocentro .
See the result.

which means Meta tag description has been included from the Thread.

If there is any custom modification , check them.
Also check the URL structure.
