Link doesn't show images on Facebook.
Hi Experts,
For reasons that do remain really dark, when I post a link on Facebook, it doesn't show any images.

Any ideas why this doesn't work ?
Thanks for your help !

Hi Fibo,
Thanks for your reply.
No special settings, apart of maybe the HTTPS sometimes depending on what page you're on.
I paste the link in a facebook status, facebook shows a 'progress bar' then that 'bar' disappears and shows a link saying ' Upload an image'
Now, this might be the server. We are on shared Coldfusion hosting, and I can't figure out why this would be a problem.
Many thanks for your help

Hey Fibo,
Mhh, I'm not sure about what you are asking. I checked the setting, and nothing seems 'special' about our website.

Hey,
Fixed, this was a hotlinking protection made by our in house programmer.
Sometimes teams are needing to communicate I suppose; I'm sorry I made you waste your time.
Best regards,
Adam

I do object to the closing of the question in such terms.
As mentioned in my 2nd post, I did test the hotlinking protection, and when I tested it seems it was not active:
As mentioned in my 2nd post, I did test the hotlinking protection, and when I tested it seems it was not active:
- I checked and indeed these images are not protected (they might have been).So hotlinking was in my check list and cannot simply be ignored.
2 - Is this the only site which shows such a behaviour? Have you some special settings for this site?
3 - In some occasions I have had problems with links pasted in FB, so now I first past the link (and be sure that if there is no space after the link, you type one), then go back to the beginning and type my text.
