Why do all my pulled blog entries have the same thumbnail image?

It used to work fine in the past, each blog entry that was pulled to my page used an image from that entry. For a couple of months now all my pulled entries have the same image. Why is this? It's really confusing to people viewing the page and to fans who are getting the posts in the newsfeed.

I'm having the same problem. About a month ago (May 2011) the posts were pulling unique thumbnails. Now, every post is pulling an old screen shot of the blog - which really has nothing to do with the current post. Any ideas how to fix this?

Same issue.  I even have a totally new theme and the old look is still there.

Same issue here too and I've gone through all the suggestions posted by NetworkedBlogs on how to fix it.  Pretty sure it's something wrong on NetWorkedBlogs' end.  How can we fix this?

Same issue. I even pulled the blog listing OFF and re-listed to try and have it grab a new image and the old one from over 9 months ago is still there! It will not post a thumbnail is concerned, what is going on?

Not a single reply, June to September? I'm experiencing the same problem (generic thumbnail vs specific photo) after months of smooth sailing. So sad there should be no assistance whatsoever...

Ah for my website, in Wordpress: I changed the feed to "full postst" and now I hope it's working again.

Read this:

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.

Would you tell us where in Wordpress you changed the feed to "full posts"? Thanks.

Ditto, I can find where the "full feed" is... so all I get is my header

IF you are working with Word Press it is under Settings and Reading.  I ended up deleting the last three posts from my stream after setting this and it pulled fine!

Thomas; Go to your Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading and set For each article in a feed, show : to "Full text"

My blog is set the "Full" for the feed setting and I'm the image that is pulled for the thumbnail is not the image from my post.  This used to work. What happened.

I dont think this is very user friendly, why do I have to set up an account with my personal FB profile and not my page?  I have a blog and a Fb page for my blog.  Sheeesh, you think there would be something easier to use for people to connect and follow you...........

Please use the Feed Tester tool (accessible from your blog profile page on NetworkedBlogs). This tool will tell you if NetworkedBlogs can find images in your feed or not. If NetworkedBlogs can't find images in your feed, it will use your default blog thumbnail image.
