GC shared link in Facebook suppresses graphs and stats

When I share a Garmin Connect activity (uploaded from an Edge 800) on Facebook people who follow the link cannot see the full workout. The graphs and stats are missing. They only see the map and the summary data to the right of the map. The link that the Garmin Connect share function embeds in Facebook contains some additional characters at the end of the URL, specifically "/0?lang=en" is appended following the activity number. I believe this additional information at the end of the URL in the link causes the page to be rendered differently. I cannot see any way to change the format of links that are embedded in Facebook posts via Garmin Connect sharing. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I believe you're privacy setting for activities must be set to something like "everyone" for the data to show up in a link on facebook. The "lang=en" is probably just short for saying "language = english", and that english text should be displayed.
  • Privacy is already set for "Everyone". The URL suffix definitely changes the page rendering.
  • I'm still struggling with this problem. Here's an example of a link produced by GC and embedded in a Facebook post via the GC sharing function:

    http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/646981748/0?lang=en

    When you visit the link, notice that only the map and summary stats are presented. Graphs and details are not. Now, if you change the URL by removing the "/0?lang=en" from the end, the entire workout displays, including graphs and detailed stats. Click the link below to see the difference.

    http://connect.garmin.com/modern/activity/646981748

    This has nothing to do with privacy settings, but seems to be completely related to the format of the link created by GC when sharing w/ Facebook, specifically the "/0?lang=en" appended at the end.

    Any assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks.
