  Hi all, help much appreciated. Whenever I click share to facebook from my blog, the thumbnail that appears is one that I deleted from my site ages ago but it keeps appearing. I don’t know how to find the image to delete it permanently and never see it again – any suggestions? I don’t know where facebook keeps finding it to use as the thumbnail for all of my shares.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hello there,

  I’m sorry but we cannot help with this. 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.
