Facebook sharing?

Not sure if this is the right forum, but I figured it was a good place to start. Is there a reason that sometimes when I "Share" and activity to Facebook from Garmin Connect it will sometimes post with all of the information and sometimes not? I have attached a screen shot with three posts as an example. Starting from the top:
1) I had to manually add the text of my description to the post. There is no attempt at a map. It didn't pull the title text either
2) I had to manually add the text of my description, there is not title text either. There was an attempt to pull a map image, but it failed.
3) It automatically added my title and description, but again, no map.
I don't care if there the map gets pulled in, but I really like it when my title and description get automatically added. I have tried waiting various amounts of time (though only in the 1 - 2 minute range). I also export the TCX file, so have tried doing the Facebook share after the export. I still have found no pattern to when the update works correctly and when it doesn't.

Is there something I can be doing to make this process work more reliably?

Thanks, Tim

    Nothing this morning :/ I'll see once a new workout is added later.

    I wish there was just a button to manually post rather than it trying to detect on it's own.

    MB seems to be posting now but can't get my pace to show in the summary. To see it I have to goto the MB app or to Garmin Connect.

    The share to FB directly from Garmin Connect still is lame. I was sent a reply from Garmin about it and they said I could type a summary LOL REALLY!? Why would I need a share featue at all If I have to do that !?
