I'm always looking for 'work-arounds' for things that don't work precisely how I want them to. As I understand the current choosing of My List thumbnails, the system will post the member's most thumbed personal photo, correct? I just received a pile of Japanese maples that are just starting to leaf out. Most I have do not have any photo associated with their entry (likely because there are so many named cultivars, and I get mine from a collector cousin who seeks out unusual forms). Due to their changing nature, I typically try to capture photos of J. maples when first leafing out, early spring leaves, summer leaves (if there is a radical change), a full-on whole tree portrait, and of course fall color. I am usually most drawn to the fall color photos, but of course there will be 3-4 prior photos in my line-up. I assume I can somewhat control which photo is used by thumbing my own preferred photo, which seems a bit braggadocious. Does that make the most sense? That way, I can figure out which of 'my' photos will become the thumbnail, and then also pull into the comment section a larger photo of whatever other photo I feel best represents the plant. I remain unconvinced that 'my' photo is ever the best representative for the thumbnail in My List. But, I'm apparently in the minority on that thought. So, looking for a work-around.
I want to live in a world where the chicken can cross the road without its motives being questioned.
