XF 1.1 Facebook links show XenForo logo not forum logo.

[BGL]

When I post a link to my forum on Facebook, Facebook asks for "Thumbnail" Yes/No. If I say check yes, it posts a XenForo logo vs. my forum's logo. Does anyone know where Facebook is getting the XenForo logo and how I can substitute my forum's logo?

From Brogan's FAQ:

How do I replace the Xenforo Facebook recommend/like logo with my own?
Upload your logo to the server and change the image path in the ACP -> Styles -> Style Properties -> Header and Navigation -> Settings: Facebook Open Graph Logo. Due to caching it can take several weeks for the image to update on the Facebook servers.

Make sure that the image that you use is at least 200x200px. If it isn't, Facebook will choose another image from a thread that meets this criteria.

Thanks. I'll try that.

Now to "wait several weeks". Facebook still pulls up the XenForo logo. Wonder if there is any way to speed that up?

Is there a way, other than Facebook, to test that I made the change correctly?

Reading this thread, I changed the logo by uploading a 200px x 200px replacement as logo.og.png, I still can't figure out where to change the title.. I thought I did that already, but it still pulls up XenForo Forum Software?

Any help or ideas??

That is set in the Options -> Basic Board Information

Well this was setup on day one.. but still shows a XenForo title

That's a Facebook caching issue.

It shows fine in other social networks/apps.

Cool. Thx.
