+emve Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) It would be fine to see information from cache listing when it is shared on facebook. Now all sharings have the same preview. It is useless. The old one was better: Edited June 25, 2020 by emve 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Keystone Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Facebook made changes to this functionality at the beginning of 2020. Geocaching HQ's social media team was alerted to the issue at that time. There has, obviously, been no progress in fixing this on Facebook's end. 2 Quote Link to comment

Previously, if you included a link to a cache (https://coord.info/GCxxxx) in a Facebook post, then FB displayed something like emve’s second picture - including the cache type icon and name. Now, you just see the generic image shown in the first picture, that makes you doubt it links to anything specific. In both cases, the link takes you to the correct page on the geocaching website, but the first implementation is so much more informative. A couple of FB posts advertising events on my local cachers FB page to show how it’s changed... Previously: Currently: 2 Quote Link to comment
