Hey Tom. I know you're busy and all, but I was hoping you could add the meta data so a proper logo for GameEx comes up when you click the share button on the bottom of a thread. I plug new themes and updates on my Facebook all the time, and I click 'no thumbnail' since an IPBoard logo comes up. I was hoping to get something more relevant to GameEx and less generic. I've added a copy of the code in case you were not sure how to do this (even though I doubt that's the case). I'm pretty sure the meta data is already in there and all you would need to do is find it and replace the image it points to with a GameEx logo.

Here's the code:
'http://www.ipboard.com/forums/public/style_images/master/meta_image.png'

So on your forum page, it's here:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>GameEx - Spesoft Forums</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href='http://www.gameex.info/forums/favicon.ico' />

<link rel="image_src" href='http://www.gameex.info/forums/public/style_images/master/meta_image.png' />
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<[!CDATA[
jsDebug = 0; /* Must come before JS includes */
USE_RTE = 0;
DISABLE_AJAX = parseInt(0); /* Disables ajax requests where text is sent to the DB; helpful for charset issues */
inACP = false;
//]]>
</script>


You could just overwrite the existing logo (meta_image.png) and not have to change the page script at all. Not trying to sound like a know-it-all or anything, just thought it would add a nice touch for the share bar.

Might as well put a link to your favicon in there too while you're at it:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://www.gameex.com/Portals/0/favicon.ico" />

Thanks! ;)

Unfortunately we lost this functionality in the forum update. Am I the only one that Facebook tags stuff? LOL!
