The only issue I have is when sharing to facebook. I get Wrong Image and Description everytime. Yes they can be changed before final posting to fb, but for regular users, they seem to never change them. therefor the image and description never match the Link that it is sharing. And yes the link is correct.

Please see the attachment for an example. And this happens to ALL sharing modules for facebook. Not just this one. Anyone have any idea?

Facebook, by default, grabs these items from open graph meta tags. If those are missing, I'm not certain what it uses by default.

I would suggest adding meta tags for og:image and og:description.

I know the description can be taken care of with Metatag.. image may be more tricky.

However, the short answer is, if these are present on your pages:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://your.domain.com/path/to/image.jpg" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Your description for the specific page being shared to facebook." />

facebook will use those values.

Actually, since the metatag module uses tokens, setting the og:image property might not be a huge issue either.

Looking at your website, the only meta tags in your markup are:

  <meta charset="utf-8" />
  <meta name="generator" content="Drupal 7 (http://drupal.org)" />

At any rate, this issue is not related to this module, its job is simply to provide links.
