Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt Monday at 02:04 PM
Saurabh Jain Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 When I am sharing the post in forums - incorrect ct thumbnails are getting shared... for eg if we share http://mechanical-engg.com/forum/topic/12465-quesn-on-shape-of-aerofoil/#comment-18351 the genearted thumbnail is now ehere in page - same is occurring for google plus Is any 1 else also feeling the same... Previously... 2. when I used to share blog.post.. the image of post was appearing... now it is taking blog cover pic 3. when we used to share download files - it use to show right image but now it shows some different images - may be of latest files... How to resolve the issue... Regards Saurabh

So that’s normal and expected behaviour. Anyway, there are only very few areas where you can SPECIFICALLY set an image for a specific entry, e.g. the article image for an article. You cannot do that for forum posts, since a topic has no “topic image”. So there is nothing to do about that. Social media sites will just pick any image they find. OR: you set a proper sharer image in your theme settings!
Saurabh Jain Posted April 30, 2016 Author Posted April 30, 2016 but that image nowhere in page... even i scrapped it again by fb linter

I checked the Google image search and people definitely posted images from this event on your site. You have a gallery feed on that page. It could have been picked up from there for example.
Himadri Goswami Posted May 1, 2016 Posted May 1, 2016 same here ... when you share different replies with photographs only first topic photo is shared. Even bbpress handles that much better way

The example shown above (#comment-18351) is just an anchor on a page, so even if the system would suggest a sharer image, that would be for all the posts on that topic page.
Himadri Goswami Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Well, I'm not sure. Before coming to IPB, I was on bbpress. I always could share every post in a topic.

Then it probably isn’t true. I checked out a couple BBpress demo sites and couldn’t find a different behaviour, which would automatically allow post specific sharer images.

I was using GDBBpress tool, which had an extension for SEO and Meta. Maybe that was doing the job. Let me check, I will post you on this
