For Article threads use first article image (if one is available) as opengraph & twitter image

[bzcomputers]

It would be nice for all threads, but at least for Article threads, with an image available that you use the first thread image as the opengraph & twitter image instead of the current default Xenforo opengraph/twitter image which is typically just your site logo.

An image directly representative of the content and one that is not the same for every thread shared from your site on Facebook and Twitter will likely gain more interest and convert to more traffic.

If the first thread post does not have an image just fallback to using the site logo.
