  Hi,

  I have recently started using the android app but when I share to Facebook the thumbnail image – of the default banner image on my WordPress blog – disappears and is replaced by the default blank Facebook thumbnail. How do I get the old thumbnail on the link that I got when sharing from the website? And secondly, could I show my gravatar image here instead?

  See here first http://android.wordpress.org/faq/

  Here’s the link for the android support forums http://android.forums.wordpress.org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.org, click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post there.

  Hope this helps.

  Secondly note that 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.
