Title: Image background while sharing link
Post by: Martinfin on March 17, 2023, 02:20:06 PM
not sure if I asked this right but I'll include a pic.. I wanna let it show the actually image as people think it's a trap.

Says Simple Machines. How would I edit it to show a small image of what I'm actually talking about?

Searched the forums but not sure how to word it so hence the post.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you are asking....


show what image while sharing what link?

your picture does not help explain your question at all

Sorry, When I share a link to my friends in FB Messenger it comes up just like the picture shows. basically in a nutshell gives the hxxp://example.com/index.php?topic=10.msg8#msg8 but shows that Image background instead of the Image I'm trying to display.

Try the Optimus mod to set a better 'open graph image' (which is what FB Messenger looks for) but if that's not present it'll just use the first image on the page - which will be the SMF logo...
