Skype URL image in phone

    Hi,

    Skype updated recently and I and a colleague noticed that sometimes URLs pasted into Skype Chat are turned into images.

    Unfortunately, when I sent the URL in Skype Chat for my current site under development: http://hotzoc.com/community/ it turned into an image, but it is your Dog image, mgm9, from your demo.xml.

    I have tried deleting the image from the site and renaming a different image as mgm9 but cannot get rid of it in my phone after hard resets etc..

    I cannot find any mobile settings in theme options. This is a useful phone Skype feature, but only if I can choose the image!

    Please investigate. Image attached. Thanks.

    Hi there,

    This doesn\'t sound to be somehow theme related. I don\'t know how that skype thing works unfortunately. I would suggest deleting the picture via FTP in your wp-upload folder to make sure it is actually gone.

    Checked via FTP and all the mgm9 images are now one of students that I renamed.

    I also changed the Tag line but when I send the URL to Skype I still get the original picture and tag line from yesterday.

    Any ideas at all why it would pick up that particular image?

    Thanks, Mike.

    Are there any settings in the theme that link an image to the website URL name and tag line that could produce the Skype image?

    There is nothing related to skype inside the theme, nor resources you see in the live demo such as images are contained in the theme folder. They are all contained in the demo.xml only, which it\'s unlikely to affect any functionality.

    Rather than focusing on the theme, I\'d suggest investigating what are the criterias Skype use to pick the profile picture.
