Facebook linking - no longer including images, descriptions...what gives?

Just wanted to ask if anyone else has noticed that their websites have stopped linking correctly in Facebook?

When we paste a link to any page of our website it used to include an image, description etc taken from the page. This is no longer working so we assume Facebook changed something?

We discovered that we could test our website in the Facebook debugger (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) but doing so produces the following errors:


Object at URL 'https://www.ledwarehouseuk.com/LED-Lights-Bulbs.php?lbid=386' of type 'website' is invalid because a required property 'og:title' of type 'string' was not provided.

Warning
Curl Error : SSL_CONNECT_ERROR error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

og:title is in our source code so I don't know why that error is showing. As for the CURL error, we know SSL vs3 isn't used on our server in order to protect against the Poodle vulnerability.

Has anyone experienced this? Have a solution?
Our client did the majority of their business via Facebook linking and this is pretty much destroying their sales. :(

Hope someone can help, thank you.
