I updated the Sharethis module recently, and this over wrote the player image I had with the jamroom default one, I just uploaded my own player image, used facebook debugger to refresh it but it is still showing the default jamroom one, any ideas on what I could do so my image shows instead?

Thank you

Did you make the image active by checking the "active" checkbox and saving?

I'm confused Brian, what I did was upload the new image via ftp to:

mysite.com/modules/jrShareThis-release-1.3.4/img/

and over wrote the one there (default).

I don't see anything on ACP/modules/sharethis that shows the current image / to make it active.

Yeah that is not correct. You need to go to ACP -> Item Features -> Share This -> "Images" tab and chosse "browse" to upload your custom image for the background. After you've uploaded it check mark it as active and save, then reset caches.

It may take a little bit for FB to begin seeing it.

I guess that is the problem Brian, there is no "Images" tab in "item features/sharethis".

There has to be or you are using a VERY OLD version of ShareThis. The images tab will also disappear if you have DELETED the image in the images directory.

Reload the ShareThis module from Marketplace -> Tools -> Reload modules and skins so you know you are updated to the latest and didn't mess something up by FTP'ing.
