Facebook should give you more than one thumbnail option. Did you try scrolling through them by clicking the < > arrows next to the thumbnail image before hitting post?

If you don't have more options, or don't like any of them, you should be able to specify what thumbnail Facebook uses as a default choice for your site by adding the following to your website index file:
<link rel="image_src" href="http://example.com/images/logo.gif" />

Facebook is supposed to recognize the "image_src" tag. Make sure you replace the href location above with the destination of your thumbnail image.

Is there a way to decide what image Facebook uses as a thumbnail when I post a link to my site on my FB page? It keeps grabbing this random background image which isn't very useful.

And the problem still remains after 6 months...

Great question. The location of this setting has moved several times. As of the date of this writing, you can access it via Account (top left) > Edit Friends. In the left-hand column you'll see a "Lists" section. You should see your "limited profile" here. Click on it, then on "Edit List" above the center column, and finally, search for and click on members you want to add to your "limited profile." Click on the "save changes" button when you're done.

All the constant adjustments Facebook is making to its privacy settings are driving me bonkers. Don't get me wrong - I think more privacy fine tuning options are good, but it seems like every time they make an update it gets harder to find what I'm looking for.

Does anyone know where, currently, the setting is where I can add specific friends to my custom profile lists? For example, I have a "limited profile" list, members of which don't have access to my Wall. How can I add a specific friend or two to this list that's not yet on it?

there is still a problem with the uploader, looks like their not fixing it

FB simple uploader works fine for me <img src="http://forum.guruofsearch.com/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" />

For the time being I would just use their simple (basic) uploader. Facebook apps are known to have issues that should resolve over time. if you're still having this problem in a few weeks, feel free to post back and we can take a closer look at your specific situation.

I'm trying to upload photos using Facebook's upload utility. I had to restart Internet Explorer to get the "Active X" thing to pop-up. I did that, and now I finally see the upload utility. I'm able to browse my PC and select photos for upload. They upload all the way and then the program crashes, along with the webpage.

The second time I tried the Facebook uploader it finished, but then stayed stuck at "waiting for response from server." No matter how long I wait it doesn't seem to get past this step. I ended up using the basic (manual) uploader, but since you can only do 5 at a time this takes forever when you have dozens of photos. Is anyone else experiencing the response from server problem/ or have an idea as to how to get it to work?
