I think we got it taken care of. The issue was that previously a small DU logo was supposed to show up as the attached image when sharing to Facebook, but Facebook changed something which made it stop working.

After that change, when a thread got shared to Facebook, instead of showing the DU logo, it would try to find any other image that was on the page. Sometimes it might be a relevant image, but other times it would grab something irrelevant, or if there were no images on the page it might even try to use an avatar or a sig line.

So we fixed it so that a standard DU image will now appear every time you share something to Facebook. Thanks to whatever Facebook changed, this image now has to be larger than the old one, but at least it will no longer grab something completely irrelevant and attach it to whatever you are sharing.
