I noticed and many others have noticed when we share our profiles (index main page) on facebook it brings up a big white blank image not showing our profile picture but if we share our timeline or any other part of our profile it shows our images in the big white box so if there is no way to fix the index page sharing having no picture is there a way to make by default at least all profiles landing page be the timeline instead of the index?

Its a share this error that's got no plans to be fixed:

You can get around it though by adding og:image:width and og:image:height as is outlined here:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/new_posts/31443/sharethis-bug/search_string=sharethis

to the meta tags on the page its coming from, or by the more inconvenient way of clicking the share button, closing the dialog, then clicking the share button again.

agree, its annoying and should be fixed.

it is strange it only does it on index pages of profiles though timelines audio and video all show an image and look cool but unfortunately as soon as anyone signs up at my site the first thing they do is share the index page of the profile to facebook and then it shows that lame white box and of course they blame me lmao
