Question

Spark no longer loads a linked image into Facebook automatically when I post link?

Used to be that the main image that I'd install into the primary 1st image in a Spark Web construction would automatically upload into Facebook when I'd post the link. But now it posts a text message but it does not automatically load the image. So it's not as visually engaging or effective in Facebook??? what can I do?

      When you say it's a "linked image", is it one of the images from Adobe Stock? Dropbox? Google?

      Is it the masthead image? Or is an image that is placed into the body of the page?
      Are you adding image alt text to it?

      Last check - have you attempted to DUPLICATE the project, then post the new link to FB?

      ps. I call it "Spark" still too, even though we should probably call it "Express"

      No... you are still not getting it.  Using Spark/Express to build a "web" feature... the first thing is to place a big image into that main window. I craft the tex that floats over it... and then... I begin to build the presentation with images & text all the way to the end. I'm building a promo that has additional inks that take visitors to a website ... but only if they click thos links. THE PROBLEM : Once I'm done I have a beautiful and interesting promo that is designed to attract traffic to my website. The way it "USED" to work was elegant, easy, and effective. When completed... I'd "publish" the Spark/express creation... which then creates a cool link to this document. I would then add a sentence of clarity and include the Spark/Express Link at the end. Then... I would simply gop over into my Facebook community and copy paste that Spark/Express text... along with that newly generated SparkExpress Link... right into the Facebook text space. And when I would do that... AMAZING... the image I had embedded into that very first main entry space in the Spark Web document... would magically appear right there in Facebook! Then... magically... when visitiors would see that image in Facebook they would click it and BINGO... there was my wonderful Spark Express Document just as I had designed it! It worked great for the past years Spark was created. But NOW... when I insert the text with Spark link... it no longer brings that main image into Facebook. Instead... it creates a uninviting boring bit of text with your adobe logo. I was using this device for 3-5 years sending it out to literally milluons of Facebook members al;l over the world. But now... it no longer looks cool ... its just a block of text. I'm going to have to look for something else. But I wont be paying for Adobe if it no longer works the way it did???  Hope you can now understand. If not I cpould record my screen and show you... ??? But that will meanI'm not working on my promotions I'm working on trying to get you guys to fix Spark/Express...!!???
