Facebook Link Preview Thumbnails Missing

I'm having a problem where no matter what link I post from my own site to Facebook the thumbnail preview image isn't showing up at all. It pulls the rest of the gallery just fine and it USED TO work no problem.

I discovered the Facebook "URL Linter" tool which shows what info is being scraped from a link (check it:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) and where it says "og:image" there are usually 1-10 images to choose from. Well for me, now, there's not. And there's a little link at the bottom which says "See exactly what our scraper sees for your URL" and when I click that and sort through all of the source code I find this: <div class="sm-gallery-content"></div>. WTF???

Seems like it's completely ignoring the ENTIRE gallery! No wonder it can't find an image to use for the thumbnail. Anyone having this issue or had or can help shed some light on just why this is happening??
