[support] (no subject)

I've had that problem. Facebook seems to have a big of a memory, so when 
you change a tag and try again it still remembers the previous set of 
images. I haven't tested enough to know how long between the tries, but 
the og:image will eventually work if it's worded correctly.
Also, make sure your image is both small enough and proportioned 
correctly, otherwise it will reject the image.

Here's one that works for me.

<meta  property="og:image"content="http://blog.brilliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/History-of-Diamonds-thumb.jpg"/>

and a link on the aspect ration.
