5. Facebook problem with FIX
Sat May 31, 2025, 01:42 PM

The redirect link works great except that Facebook does not add a thumbnail image to the post.
This may not be important but if it is, I have a fix (Facebook hack) that restores the post thumbnail.

Note that post #1 has no thumbnail image but post #3 has the image with the same redirect link.
The trick is to post the original link (#2). Then edit your post to erase the original link replacing it with the redirect link. Facebook will keep the old thumbnail image even though the link URL has changed.
