Hi, Great software. Very Impressive.

One problem with Newsfeed. When i post a URL to a website, it always fetches a small .gif image instead of a correct .jpg image as a thumbnail.

Is there a way i can tell it to ONLY fetch .jpg images? OR Is there a way we can pre-fetch and select the image we want to appear, link facebook does?

See Screencap:

Yes, our team is aware of the issue. Functionality will be improved with one of the upcoming builds.

Thank You for responding Mulder. I know you're probably very busy, but is there any estimate on when the release date will be for the updated version?

The malfunctioning newsfeed is preventing me from finishing my website and opening it up to the public.

Unfortunately, I cannot tell you the approximate date of the improved feature release. All information I can share is what we have listed in our roadmap.

Bump. Is there a solution to this yet?


It works for a lot of urls I've tested, but this url (for example): http://digiscrapkits.com/digiscraps/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=434_435&products_id=8068 brings up a bunch of broken images to choose from.

I am really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my site not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any solutions to help fix this problem? tải app 789club
