I have a default image in my open graph configuration. I also use the tag in my articles to specify a more correct image.

In the open graph defaults, I specify image=http://www.worldcon76.org/images/FBImage.png
In the article, I have {SCOpenGraph image=http://www.worldcon76.org/images/guests/Spider.jpg}

In the source of the page, though, BOTH are sent, causing Facebook to use the default value.

<meta property="og:image" content="www.worldcon76.org/images/guests/Spider.jpg"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="www.worldcon76.org/images/FBImage.png"/>

I thought using the SCOpenGraph would OVERRIDE the default. I'd like that to happen, since Facebook is picking the wrong image for shares.

Multiple Open Graph image tags are allowed according to the Open Graph specs. Priority should be given based on order on the page, but Facebook may be choosing the image previews based on other factors. Please read a similar thread we've recently had with another user describing multiple image tags on the page.

Whoops, I just got to your post on this other thread that was referenced, so you're already aware of the reasoning :) Try the workaround I suggested and let us know if you still have issues until a new setting gets put in.
