    [CMS] Why does vb CMS publish to Facebook using the wrong image

    So, when I publish an article from CMS to facebook, the image used is from a widget on the sidebar. I don't get a pop-up box that allows me to select a thumbnail and to verify what is sent. Do I have an incorrect setting?

    Is publishing from CMS supposed to work similar to -> http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u={URL}&title={TITLE} that pops-up a window and allows editing including thumbnail selection?

    PS... using the static image from admincp/settings is not a solution. I would think that PROMOTE TO ARTICLE should work the same as PUBLISH TO FACEBOOK, where we have options before committing rather than the post going direct to fb.

        Same here, i use a site called dlvr.it which grabs stuff from the rss, but rss doesn't even include images so it grabs an image from my sidebar widgets.
