    Will a Facebook forum not be better to get an answer?

    I have this same problem and would like to know how to get a picture of my actual content from my web site to appear instead of the blank background layer. I don't think this is a Facebook problem - it seems like the way the link picks up from our Web Designer web site, it's picking up the bottom most layer when copying the link which is just a blank background color.

    Hi Mike,
    I used this link https://www.adhesion.co.nz/blog/how-...facebook-post/
    You can then use https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ to check if it works.

    That is a good description of a solution, which is down to how Facebook needs to be spoon fed.

    If the problem is that Facebook is scanning the Pasteboard layer, why not make a Bitmap copy of the MouseOff layer and place that in the Pasteboard behind the Page background?

    Acorn - I just tried this on my home page and Facebook makes two options, the black circle and second choice, the open circle behind it.
