When attempting to share a page on FB, many images seem to only appear AFTER running the page that contains the image through the debugger first. Additionally, the debugger seems to throw different errors for the same page in some cases, even though I’ve made absolutely no changes to the page. Sometimes it tells me the image url cannot be found, and after clicking on “Scraped URL:” or “Graph API: the image url is found and the image then appears in the debugger?! However, nothing seems to happen consistently and it is very difficult to replicate these issues.
I tried unsuccessfully to post the code here, however, I’m using a modified version of a script provided by Chad Von Lind (http://vonlind.com/?p=539).
Sample pages (that did not display an image until after they were submitted to the debugger):

I don’t understand why the images appear sometimes, and not at other times. Is it a caching issue? Does it take time for the image to show up in the cache for a newly published page? Can I force FB to cache the image on the first try? Or is it because I’m using a dynamic image url? And by the way, the image sizes are 203×203 pixels.
Thanks!
It’s media temple. I have been working with them for weeks to fix it.
