facebook thumbnail not showing when sharing url

so, we are making a new site and our 1st page for the sign up process does not post the proper thumbnail on facebook when we post the url on the status update. at first 3 of the 4 images showed but the logo did not (logo being the 5th image). after we follow the instructions online, we get only the description of the site to show that we added in the meta elements and no images at all. Is this a codeigniter issue?

I think that the router code is interfering with the thumbnails! Any thoughts?

we have looked and found instructions on facebook, http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share and on Ehow, http://www.ehow.com/how_4938148_thumbnai...share.html

Facebook has a really slow cache system. If your meta tags are fine, you should check again in a couple of days. Believe me, 4 of 5 times, it's because Facebook slow cache. Sometimes when you want to share a Facebook video recently uploaded, it doesn't show the thumbnail either.

Anyway, share a link so we could take a look at your tags.

Good luck
