I guess that has to do with http://www.sharethis.com.
But I’ll ask the others too.

I was using Safari, and going to try with Chrome today. The first image is where I share from, the second is what I would expect to see next before sharing to FB and when I see this it works ok.
The third image is what I often see when there’s an error as there are no pictures and the transfer to FB shows “share.es” in the box where the picture and details should be.
Hope that makes sense…

I don’t know if it’s related but my Home page, which is set to the Geodirectory homepage randomly disappears and replaces itself with the old WordPress home page

the only times I’ve experienced something similar is when I tried sharing a brand new post from a blog that wasn’t crawled frequently by search engine.

Bascially if Google hadn’t indexed the page, the link shared was appearing with no image, just like yours. Once the page was index by major search engine, facebook was adding the image too.

I don’t know if this has to do with Bing (which is partner with FB) or exactly why this is happening, but I did recreate the exact same thing on your website.

This URL is still not indexed by any search engine:

http://www.inenglish.biz/listing/france/bretagne/persquen/holidays/your-holiday-home-from-home-in-brittany/

Result on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10154876316170183&id=113248705182

This URL is indexed: http://www.inenglish.biz/listing/france/limousin/boussac/leisure/gems-and-crystals/

Result on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10154876352430183&id=113248705182

I don’t think it is anything we can fix on our side though. One thing you should fix instead are locations. You have some “all” locations that will confuse the system.

GeoDirectory should be used only with real locations.

You should also add the location switcher somewhere, or ppl will not be able to browse your website correctly.

Thanks
