Yes Rebecca, I have the same issue. I stopped posting to Linkedin from Active Rain. I open Linked in and post an update with a short URL and a the graphic that is in the blog.

I would post directly on the site - FB, LinkedIn, etc. - add a photo if you want but write a comment before adding the link. Not sure the links on AR work well directly. Plus see what others say below!

I prefer to do it manually and use the short URL. That way I know if it's getting traffic by watching my short url count on AR stats

There are other tools (aside from manually posting which is also a good idea) you can use to post to these sites which I would recommend. They're not very expensive and some have a monthly fee which is reasonble

I've had a lot of problems w/ graphics showing up from AR.  That's why I post mine from my own site and stopped posting from AR.  I share other people's articles if they have WP, but not AR articles.

Yes... I have the same issue, Rebecca. Will be looking for responses. I know some of them will say post manually which sort of defeats the auto post process. At this stage, I'm already mannually posting FB, Twitter. I guess now I have to add in LinkedIn.
