Facebook Meta tag conflict?

I don't know if it's just me but I'm having an issue with the Facebook like button and VBSEO creating description meta tags. Basically I set it so VBSEO would dynamically create a description meta tag per post, but Facebook's meta info is overriding it with the overall site's description. So when people try to share posts, they get the site's description rather than the post's description.

When checking the site's HTML, I saw this

Facebook has it's own meta description listed first.

Code:

<metaproperty="og:description" content="Keeping you update to date on the newest cars, technology, news and concepts in the auto industry." />

While the thread's VBSEO generated meta description goes like:

Code:

<metaname="description" content="It seems Saab is in problems again They might be in a situation again, but the owners don't seem to worry too much about it. * Spyker CEO says claim" />

but it's listed second, and since Facebook uses their own opengraph protocol thing, it sees the first one when posts are shared. Any idea how to correct this?

facebook looks for the Open Graph meta:
og:description

everything else looks for the
description
meta tag. They are different.

Yea that's precisely the problem. Is there a way to disable that description part alone, since I want the description to be dynamic with each post shared.

That is a vBulletin setting. vBSEO doesn't play with facebook meta description at all.

Right. Ill take it up with them... even though I have the bad feeling I may have to disable it entirely to get it to work properly.

I came looking for the same thing. I don't think it's a problem as much as it is a needed feature. Is there a quick "mod" (ok with a file edit) that will allow us to rewrite the og:description with the same info that vbseo is using for the meta name="description"?
