I tried using the facebook button on the topic area and it pulled a picture from the footer, I enabled the buttons on individual posts and clicked on the facebook button on the first post and it pulled the picture from the second post, any ideas?

are you using a plugin to handle the facebook OG stuff??  OG = open graph…   it helps facebook with images…  otherwise facebook just kind of randomly pulls one…
