I just noticed that threads no longer show the initial photo (if there is one). Is this something new? Or am I imagining it? Or...?

They're still showing up for me. Can you cite a specific example?

In the Photography forum, I just started a new thread for snowy pictures and uploaded 3 to begin. On my home page, the only thing that appears is the title to the thread, no thumbnail. Then I noticed none of the threads have any thumbnails. Maybe it is a setting I need to change?

The thread "Winter snowy pics..." in Sandbox forum

Here's another one, not started by me, again no picture shows up on my screen (until I open the thread).

The thread "Mystery seeds" in Lilies forum

I checked my settings and didn't see anything that would cause them to not display.

I'm seeing thumbnail photos but I just noticed that at the top of every thread page, there appears to be a large blank white space between the banner and the thread subject.

Maybe I'll see a difference when I look using my computer. I'm using my iphone now and everything looks normal.

I tried both my laptop screen and my much larger desktop screen - no thumbnail photo. Once I open the thread, the photos are there, just not the 'teaser' that usually shows up on new thread notices.

I see ads in that space. Do you have the ads blocked?

Thanks for the examples, Deb. I can see the thumbnails in the Lilies forum thread listing, but the "thumbs" column is absent in the photography forum. Not sure why.

Ditto here on the photography thumbnails. I'm on a desktop.

Everything is normal for me. I'm on a desktop with Firefox.

Interesting. You're right, Deb, there isn't a thumb column on the main page for the photography forum. No pictures. I'm using Google Chrome browser.

I don't see ANY thumbnails in any of the forums. I use a desktop with Firefox. It's not that important, just a bit of a boring change for me. I like pictures.

You don't see them in the Plant ID forum?
How about the Plant Photos forum? https://garden.org/forums/view...

I checked several random forums and the only one I see missing is the Photography forum.

I see them when I actually open a forum. Where I am not seeing them is on my home page, which I have set to 'see' all new threads, and to also 'watch' a couple specific forums. Maybe I am mis-remembering, but I thought if a photo was included in the first post, it would show up as a bit of a teaser.

Deb, are you saying you cannot see the thumb on the Plant Photos forum that Sue posted a link to? They are big photos, larger than most forum thumbs.

I can see the thumbnails from the Plant Photo forum. But, that is only after I actually open the forum. What I can't see is a thumbnail on my home page which I have set to show all new threads. I mess with those settings fairly often, though, and I think perhaps I am just imagining they used to show up...? I find most of my issues end up being 'operator error' . . .

Hmm. While I don't see them on the Photography forum main page, I see them on others but not all forums have a thumb column. The one Sue posted above does.

I hope you can figure out the problem. The thumbs are there on many of the forum's main pages, without opening the them to a first or certain post.

On the other hand, I don't have my page open to all forums but I don't think there is a thumb on the home page, if that's what you are talking about.

No. There is not a thumb on the Homepage. I don't think there ever has been.

It's hard to track a bug for only one user. If more people experience the problem, we may be able to track it down.
