Hello ,
I’m sorry but we cannot help with this. We have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

We do try to specify what Facebook should use (using what’s called Open Graph tags), but Facebook is known for sometimes ignoring that.

You can force a refresh of their cache by using the debugger that timethief linked to: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug (though if you use it too many times on the same post, it’ll stop emptying the cache upon the check).

Cheers!
