So I integrated my forum with facebook and now that the app is in development I noticed that when I type the link to my forum on facebook it will dispay the icons in the top row on my home page - those associated with userlist, usergroups.
Looking for a solution I have found some clues, mainly
To me it looks like I need to change the object - og:image to a picture that is a bit prettier than the icons.
I do not have a picture in my forum header if that is interesting and I really dont want to put one there unless I can hide it from being viewed when using the forum.
So long story short: I want to make facebook associate my forum link with a better image and I know very little about coding.
Would be really happy with some more clues

Facebook will use any open graph meta tags if present for the title, and image etc (eg, og:title). The facebook documentation for Open Graph Protocol explains this in more detail:
The Open Graph protocol defines four required properties:
og:title - The title of your object as it should appear within the graph, e.g., "The Rock".
og:type - The type of your object, e.g., "movie". See the complete list of supported types.
og:image - An image URL which should represent your object within the graph. The image must be at least 50px by 50px and have a maximum aspect ratio of 3:1.
