Third party Xenforo links doesn't get resolved in Facebook

[fredrikse]

Hi,

I have noticed sometimes that Xenforo links does not get resolved in Facebook. Any known issue?

Can you provide some examples?

 

[fredrikse]

Sure!

This is what it looks like:



Normally there is a logo for my site showing up to the left together with a preview of the post to the right.

I tried another link from my forum at the same time, and then it worked.

 

[Paul B]

The same link or different?

Can you try the same one again as it could be specific URLs only.

Do guests have access to those forums? I can see this being a permissions issue.

Regardless, we'd really have no control over FB accessing your site.

A different link. The permissions are the same for the forum sections. I just find it a little bit odd.

As Mike said, all XenForo does is provide the link to FB, which obviously works in a browser.
All the magic happens on their end so there's nothing that can be done about it.

Alright.
