I just "liked" an image from the robot show, and the thumbnail & link showed up on my FB page (as I expected). When I went to look at this guy's portfolio I found a few other pieces, but when I clicked on the like button, the link showed up on my fb but no thumbnail. I deleted those posts because it looked kind of stupid, but I'm wondering if that's how it's supposed to work? We only get thumbnails if the image is in a show?

No, sometimes the API from Facebook is slow and the thumbnail shows up after the fact. Because we're working with other people's tools, we don't have terribly much control over this.

OK I just thought it was odd that the only one that showed up was the one from the show.

Thanks, I'll try again later (I just deleted the posts, not the likes)

Yeah I noticed that too...it's not quite as much fun when the image doesn't show. I mean I'm "liking" them to help people show off their work. Also...gotta love the ones that just show an EBAY symbol...I've had that happen too.

The eBay symbol is a bizarre one....EBSQ show, item NOT listed on eBay, but an eBay thumb?

I've had just the Ebay icon show up when I've "liked" art too. I just figured it would work itself out in time.
