Please take a look at my activity stream post URL I've provided in the Site Details.

I used the 'Share Link' option and selected the thumbnail I wanted to appear.

As you can hopefully see, it shows as a broken image.. when I look at the code, it has created.. 
<img src="/884574557c5a0420d19e94dc6473808d.png">
so it looks like that's an incomplete path to the actual image?
Hey Andy,

I am sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've applied some fix in this 2 files it should display correctly now, can you give it a try now?

CORRECTION to my above post: The editor on this discussion forum is adding the http://cloud.stackideas.com bit into that URL! The one that's created on my site doesn't include that part!

Hi Andy,

May I know what is the link that you used to share on your social stream?

I was logged in front-end as an event owner, and I published on the activity stream of that event. I remember first I selected the 'add photo' icon and uploaded a pic... but then I typed a description for it which included a URL.. as soon as I typed the URL I think the interface switched to the 'add link' style and let me choose a thumbnail taken from the images that were on the URL I had typed.

We need to try this out and we can only try this if you could pass us the link that you were trying to share

Hey Andy,

I tried to reproduce this locally but it seems to be working fine for me here, http://screencast.com/t/67iTwgnOsk . Is it possible for you to provide us with the back end and FTP access to your site to check on this issue?
