Twitter Default Image

[My Sharona]

I have searched the community and not found this specific query addressed previously. If I have somehow missed it or if this is better served in a different forum (maybe the feature suggestions sub(?)), my apologies.

 

Anyhoo... When you, either "Promote" a thread to Twitter or merely drop a link of a thread into a Tweet, the default image provided by the software is thus:

 

Within the ACP there are settings to set default hashtags as well as a Bitly link compression. Why is there not an option to include a default image(?). I am specifically referring to the clipart typewritten page image on the left hand side of the dividing line. This is not very eye-catching on Twitter. 

 

What I would like to be able to do is to include an image of my choosing such as the site logo or some such other. Until Invision incorporates this, what should be a standard option in my opinion, is there a template edit or some other way of implementing this workaround so that a desired image displays as the default instead of the supplied clipart?

 

Thank you for reading.

That's caused by a bug which was fixed for 4.6

So, in 4.6 I will be able to choose a default image?

With 4.6, if we post a link on twitter, it can share first image of topic...or not?

😒

Before, it was taking first topic image and it was better. Now default image and it's not interesting to see same image with different topics on social accounts. We're loosing the hits. .

If you set up a sharer image, this will be used. If you have no sharer image, the social network may or may not try to find something else. 

A third-party options is the following, which will take an attachment from the topic.

Thanks @opentype

Before v4.5 or v4, facebook was attached automatically an image of topic...

However i've seen your plug-in, a question. The image must be attached on topic? Generally i use the image of web. So it'll not work?
