Did you try our Feed Tester? What did it report? Yes, I used the Feed Tester. It pulled in the posts correctly, but it isn't pulling in the images. The images are included in the RSS feed with all required tags, and also specified dimensions to overcome the 100x50px lower limit imposed by your app. Still no images. RSS feed is formatted as below:
Peter, I'm afraid your feed is not valid. At least the way the images are included is not valid. Here is the Feed Validator report for your feed for more details about the wrong formatting:

Suddenly it displays a thumbnail from the main website? NOT the image from the post. The used website thumbnail is outdated? Why? And how to change it back?
Ah for my website: in Wordpress I changed (admin panel/settings/read) the feed to "full feed" and now I hope it's working again.

Troubleshooting:
I can't see the post images
We pull post images from your feed, and if it has no images then we use the blog thumbnail image. If you don't see images in the preview, then it's likely that your feed has no images. Check your feed settings on your blogging platform, and make sure you're using a full feed.
How can you set it to only use the site thumbnail regardless of post images available?
When using burnfeeder to post to facebook, networked blogs replaces blog image with, a screen cap of the page. Is it possible to change? How so?
for some reason this afternoon - my networked blog stopped feeding images (even the generic image) to FB pages. The feed works. Ive feed tested it, the post still feeds. Everything is full text, etc on wordpress and it worked fine all day and works fine on my profile page @ http://www.facebook.com/bresnihan but does not work at http://www.facebook.com/mutantspace or http://www.facebook.com/pages/madprideireland/110981005591974 or http://www.facebook.com/goldiefishevents. All those are pages. Is there an issue with FB pages.
thanks
just to add that the image does come up on my NETWORKED BLOG page on my FB page see http://www.facebook.com/mutantspace?sk=app_9953271133 its very odd. Basically image feed works on profile walls and on blog page on page but not on page wall?

Did you try our Feed Tester? What did it report Have tried and it said all was fine
well its all back working now - thumbnail has reappeared and next post came up fine...not sure what that was about - an FB issue or a NB issue?
so off it goes again. Thumbnail working on FB profiles and in networked blog page on FB pages but not on wall in FB pages. It was all fine yesterday and now we're back to the same problem - why the inconsistency?
My main thumbnail keeps showing an old picture from my very fist blog which is a scary picture from The Exorcist and won't update. How can I update this?? Why aren't there any answers on this page or the old thread that had like 100 people with the same problem?

Chris,
We don't have an option to ignore the post images and use the default thumbnail only. But you can achieve that if you like by customizing your RSS feed (in Blogger.com, Wordpress, or whichever platform you're using) to include only title and summary without images. If your feed doesn't include images, then the system will use the default image.
Moray,
I checked your posts and confirmed it's a Facebook bug. We send the same image when publishing to profiles and fan pages, but for some reason, Facebook randomly drops images sometimes. There is not much we can do about that, I'm afraid.
Anna-Karina, James,
If your RSS feed doesn't include images then we cannot get them. You might want to check your Blogger, Wordpress, ...etc. settings to make sure you're using a full feed that includes images. Also, you can use our Feed Tester to verify if your RSS feed has images.
Adrian,
On your blog profile, there is a menu item "refresh thumbnail" that allows you to get your blog screen shot updated.
What's the problem: Images not showing in posts to Facebook page.

Thanks in advance for any help! :-)
April,
I checked your feed and I see the problem. The picture links in your feed contain characters that are uncommon in links, and it seems that Facebook is tripping on those characters and dropping the image. This is an example link of one of your images:
http://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=...
It's a valid link, even though it has semi-colons and question marks, and Facebook should not drop it, but they do. I filed a bug with Facebook about it, but honestly, I won't hold my breath. My recommendation is to check if you can update your own blog or feed to use simpler links.
Alyson,
You can refresh the blog thumbnail image with the "refresh thumbnail" option on that page (I did that for you). It takes a couple of hours for it to update, though.
Tarek,
For some reason, Facebook is dropping your images as well, even though your links are clean and correct! Not sure why, and I just added your image to the bug report I filed with Facebook. I hope they fix that soon. On the bright side, it looks like your most recent image went through correctly.
Mark,
The most recent post was published with the blog thumbnail rather than the post image, which means that at that moment, NetworkedBlogs didn't have the post image. Maybe you updated your feed after that post was published, and the images came through? If the problem happens with the next post, please let me know.
thank you so much! you obviously have magic fingers - I tried refresh and nothing seemed to happen - thanks for sorting it out for me!
April,
"It looks like your most recent image went through correctly". That because I stopped the automatic syndication and I do syndicate manually with every post. This is pain, I wish you cloud find a solution soon.

The thumbnail feature isn't working. I uploaded an image and refreshed, but the thumbnail hasn't changed. I believe the feed URL is http://www.guestquest.com/blog/atom.xml but I'm not 100% sure because I didn't set-up the feed.
The group that I am a Creator of gets posted as thumbnail automatically on the timelime/newsfeed on FB whereas I would like it to be my Name or my Profile as on FB as in my name....Please help couldn't find the solution on the regular info available. Thanx

Oops - the Facebook profile picture showing here is not the correct one - I changed it in February.
When I refresh my thumbnail, it says "Success. Your thumbnail is being refreshed. Please allow a few minutes for Bit Pixels to generate the new thumbnail then refresh this page. You can refresh the thumbnail once every three days."
But it never shows my new thumbnail!! I have tried for a few days already. And, I can refresh my thumbnail as often as I like in 1 day without getting an error message.
There are SO many people with this problem - PLEASE give us a solution!!!!! :(

when i try to post a blog post to my facebook page, it post only the article with no images???? anyone know how to fix this?? please help!
I'm attaching a screenshot that shows my results from Feedtester on NB. It shows my feed - http://brendatharp.com/feed and it seems to be working on the NB page for me, but on Facebook, the thumbnail for today's post is not showing up. It did April 5th, the last post I did, and nothing's changed since then on my end...maybe it's the issue with Facebook but why now? The images are identical properties, nothing unusual about them...
I have selected "full article" for each article in the feed - from my wordpress site's dashboard - that fixed my problem of months ago, but it's not been changed since then.
Hope you can solve this soon.

Refresh thumbnail is not worming on my blog http://cronicadelviento.blogspot.com
Now, just a day or two later, it's working fine without having done anything. Must be a facebook problem.
A couple of updates regarding blog screenshots:
1. When you refresh your thumbnail image, it says to wait a few minutes, but it actually takes a little longer. Possibly an hour. We will update the message to reflect the actual time.
2. A few blogs are geting a screenshot that says "invalid url". That's a problem on our side that we're working on. It's proven a bit harder to fix than we originally anticipated and took a couple of weeks, but we're very close now and it should be fixed in the next few days. Still, you can try the "refresh thumbnail" option, and it'll likely fix the thumbnail for you (in 90% of cases).
Oh man! Hope solutions are found to this issue soon because no one is bothering to click my blog post links anymore. The reason is that the thumbnail is now always an ad by my web builder (webs.com) used when images are not showing. This was never a problem until a couple of weeks ago. The thumbnail image with the blog post shows fine on the Networked Blogs page: http://www.networkedblogs.com/blog/nesaranews. I don't know anything about 'Feed' issues and never had to before. There are no 'feed' settings or anything on my blog but surely since the thumbnails have posted for well over a year this is not the problem since nothing has not changed on my blog. Just facebook with its warped sense of 'progress' just like myspace and we know how that turned out! Well, they murdered it. Fingers crossed!
What's the problem: Images not showing in posts to Facebook page.

Thanks for your help.
First - thank you so much for your feed-tester feature. After weeks of confusion, your feed tester identified the problem is with the feed.
That makes sense because when I directly submit a post, I'm offered a choice among several images. This is ideal because I like to set a large feature image at Tumblr, but I need a small thumbnail for LinkedIn - see this post:
http://guider.com/blog/got-niche-or-you-got-nothing-a-timesaving-list/ - you'll see a large header image 538x218, then at the bottom a 150x150 thumbnail.
WHERE DO I CHANGE THE FEED SETTINGS TO INCLUDE IMAGES? I can't find a setting in WordPress.
I use several themes from themeforest, but I don't think that's the problem - I can't find any feed settings on any of them.
I've looked all over the web for an answer - I must be searching for the wrong words.
QUESTION - Where do i set the feed to include a thumbnail?
Here is my blog
http://www.guider.com/blog/
Thanks so much.
According to the instructions, for images to show up on feeds, the feed must be set to 'full.' I checked, and mine IS set to full but I'm still not getting the images.
blog: http://terryodell.com/terrysplace
feed: http://terryodell.com/terrysplace?/feed=rss2
It's a wordpress blog.
It would be nice if there was a way to upload an image to serve as the blog thumbnail, instead of having it generated.
