There's nothing weird in the favicon that would prevent it from showing up in my experience, but then again we're talking about IE. It shows perfectly when bookmarking or speeddialing in the six browsers I am testing. The only "oddity" I find is that the icon image is not squared (it's 16x14 pixels IINM), I don't see why IE would care about that.

When you share a link on FB, it gives you the option of showing a thumnail with it. For TV Tropes pages that have an image, it pulls that image as your first option, I suspect as it's the largest one. If a page doesn't have an image, it uses the CC licence image that's at the bottom of every page, and stretches it to about two or three times its normal size.
I believe what Vijeno is saying is that FB used to pull the TV Tropes logo (from the homepage link, I guess?) in that place, and now no longer does. I don't actually know if there's anything you can do about that from this end, though. :/
It would seem that we can set the image we want when a link is shared. Facebook recognizes certain meta tags for giving the title, type ("article" for us, I think, except that the Home Page should be "website"), image, and permalink url.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

When I link to a trope on facebook, I get the creative-commons licence icon instead of the tvtropes icon. It also says "some rights reserved" in huge, scary letters.
I seem to remember that this was different in the past, and I believe that it totally sends the wrong message. What is our chance to change this?
