After posting the thumbnail-less link to my page for the hundredth time, I decided to try sharing the link via the Facebook App on my Mobile Phone. When I did, I noticed a that the app added a suffix to my original link "
&sns=fb".
I tried it and it worked...first try. I'm hoping it works when I try to post our next weekly video.
Try the following steps. I hope they work for you, too!
1) On the YouTube video page, click "Share" - be sure to select "Long Link".
2) Copy the link and paste it into your Notepad program.

3) Add "
&sns=fb" to the end of the link.

4) Copy your new link and paste it into your Facebook status.
5) Cross your fingers.
