Curiously,

When I make a post on my time-line (wall) on facebook, and I add a link to another webpage or a link to a photo, most of the time the link shows up as a pic right with the post.

However, it doesn't always work. And I've attempted to place the link right after the last word, hit return and post the link on next line, etc.... and no luck.

See this screenshot where my top post with link has no pic accompanying it; yet, the reply post I made just under it shows the photo of the moon I linked to.

Here is an example where the link works perfect and show's a pic of my science page on facebook.

I can't explain why it works sometimes, like this, but not other times - ?

And facebook, being the huge organization that it is, has no phone number.

Perhaps not, but they do have a support mechanism (https://en-gb.facebook.com/help/community/).

There are probably many Facebook users here, one of whom might be able to give you some clues, but Facebook support is probably best provided by Facebook. :)
