Show image when posting a link on Facebook - HOW?

    Hi DP. I want to ask, how do you set a 'featured image' when you post a link on Facebook? Example, when I post a blog post from my blog to Facebook, it automatically detects a image and will add it in the post.

    Screenshot - http://www.diigo.com/item/image/1jvw5/ubix

    But somehow, when I post another website (its a forum) of mine as a link on Facebook, no featured image shows up. Facebook can't seem to detect any. My website has got many images. Some real small, some pretty big too. But why can't Facebook detect it?

    This is my forum - http://www.advertisehotspot.info/

    Is there like a meta tag or something that can help Facebook sense it or anything?

    Help appreciated!
