Promoting topics with multiple images to facebook

[Steve Bullman]

Currently when I promote a post to facebook using the promote feature and select a load of images it creates an album on the page.  I get a lot of image views but very low click through rate as clicking the images just opens up a slideshow on facebook.

 

If I manually post a topic to facebook then manually add images beneath it creates a scrolling slideshow, clicking on these images link the user straight through to my forum.  I have done a few of these manually and the CTR goes through the roof compared to the built in promote feature.  Is there a way of doing this automatically, or is there likely to be in the future?

Couldn't that be a somewhat "pure" Facebook issue? They rather want you to stay there and not hang out anywhere else. And they've done so many changes recently regarding interacting with other sites.
