This is not a bug.  It is how it is set up.

and how to setup ?

its one of the reasons why i left forumotion forums and used MyBB forum system
if there any way to fix it let me know
Edit
when the banner is removed no pic is in posts while sharing on facebook

Hello,

As others said Facebook automatically chooses the image itself. It has no setup and you cannot set this anyway. The only way you could do this is for you to create a Facebook page and switch accounts each time you want to post something and there should appear a way to upload your image. Unfortunately that is the only way and not many people know how to do this. if you don't understand i will try to explain it with more details because i cannot show images.

Jetpack automatically adds these meta tags for you, unless you use a different plugin to handle Open Graph tags.

hmmmm
the most plugins i used works with the same way
consider that you are talking with a Stupid
could you tell me a bit more because i didnt understand any of it or i still still missing something that make me can not understand
about Graph tags

@Luffy
i think i understand like 50% of what you have said im not good at facebook
if you dont mind
Explain with bit more
thanks

Alright, then i will try to explain as much as i can.
Now you created a Facebook page for your members to like it.
Ok! So now you go up to your personal settings where you go to log out and you choose your page:

After that you need to press the Home button to take you to the official timeline of your page:

After you do that then you will see your normal posts there with the images you don't like:

Well if you post there to your status the link of the topic from your forum it will automatically open a window below that and it will have you the option to upload your own image:

I'm afraid this is the only way this can be done. But still it's better than nothing!

so the normal share to facebook wont change the image but with this way you provide is possible is that right ?
other ways impossible did i understand ?

This is the only way you get to choose to upload an image yourself. This is 100% sure that you will upload the image you want but you must have it on your desktop. Normal shares directly will not change that no. That is the only way i know on how to upload your own image on Facebook.

thanks a lot i understand all what you said
im still wondered a bit if this the only way or could be there an other way the we still dont know
thanks again

i give up
consider topic as solved
thanks a lot for the help
