Update On Custom Metatags
Design and Skin Customization
No-if you look at the source code for the page you see I have no meta tag for OG image on the page ANYWHERE-no meta for OG Title or description( whats there is being done using the smarty code in the facebook set up which is generically pulling the member name/site name and using that on every post.
Here is an example of someones site where its set up perfectly ( I dont know what platform its built on)

I will attach a screenshot of a forum I have that has a place where I can add code to the head section of a page
So If I had a place like this to add code to the head section of any page- I could use the above Facebook code as my pattern/replacing the information in the code with the specifics of my site....then each time I share something it would parse the correct image/title/description ( yes i would need to fill in the title/description and even if I had 100 images on the page if I right clicked on the image on the page that i wanted to show as the OG image-I would copy the image url and paste it in as the OG Image meta data.that way the correct image would show up no matter how many were on a page ( if a video is shared then a line of code would need to be added for OG video) I believe if the page has the OG tags- then Sharethis would also work correctly on any page- ....
