 * Hello,
 * I have this weird problem, where on one image the description works, and on the
   other image it only shows the title.
 * I have no idea what might cause this, it just leaves the description empty. I
   have checked all my code, it’s exactly the same as the image where the description
   is working.
 * Can anyone help me out?

 * When you click on the envelope.
 * When you click on the the tablet on this page, it works fine;

 * The link on the 1st page is using a relative link. SLB requires a full (absolute)
   URL (as in the link on the 2nd page) in a link to retrieve the metadata (e.g.
   description, etc.). Replace the relative link with an absolute link and the metadata
   should be loaded.
 * A future update will support relative links in addition to absolute links.
