IIS Classified Thumbnail Image selection

[Allan_L]

Hello IIS Gurus,
Is there a way to specify which image (out of the 8) appears as the thumbnail when viewing the list of entries in classifieds?

I assumed it would be the first one listed, but this appears not to be the case in all circumstances.

Might be based on the filename in descending alphabetical order?

Had wondered this myself, doesn't appear to be alphanumeric either, have had a look at a few dozen ads and there are images that are mid range that are the thumb.
Could simply be picked at random?

The software might be picking the smallest file size to display too.
Have to ask Mike.

I would've expected it to be the first in the list. Is that not the case?

[Allan_L]

No Mike
That is not the case. Check my add in the Telescopes section.
Not position.
Not alpha numeric.
Not largest file size.
Not smallest file size.
I have loaded the photos several times and got different thumbnail each time.
But being an IT guy myself, I know there must be some logic to it.
But it escapes me to date.

It is embarrassing when you are selling a scope and the thumbnail is of the eyepieces included. (that was the case for most of yesterday. I deleted all and reloaded and at least it is a photo of the scope this time, albeit not the one i would have selected (and loaded as first)). :confused2:

Can't offer an answer but if that's the case why not just post the photo you want with the initial post and then post a second post with the rest of the photos.
That'll be a work around until mojo or Mike can find a solution, if there's one.

For my ads the thumbnail displayed has always been the first image uploaded.

Same Tony.. maybe it depends on browser?

Thanks Andrew,
I have taken your advice and put all other photos in a second post.
(this also allowed me to add an extra shot :) )
Cheers
