  This is probably just a problem with Facebook. The thumbnail might update itself soon.

  There are search utilities here and there are experienced Volunteers. Use the searchbox and link to the correct answers from experienced Volunteers and Staff please. Or better still if you do not have an answer do not post an half answer or one based on guessing.

  I’m sorry but we cannot help with this. The issue is at the other end of things ie. Facebook. We have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
