• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

My Resource Thumbnails are wrong

During the course of the migration from the old Warbirds library (manual process) to the new Resources library some thumbnails were uploaded incorrectly. The members Avatar was used as the thumbnail. In other cases no thumbnail was uploaded at all.

For this example I will use a file I created for FS9 a number of years ago. This is a repaint of Baldy's Fairey Albacore. Notice the thumnail in this screen shot shows a B29 Superfortress.

Or maybe your upload has no thumbnail at all.

Same file but no thumbnail.

To change this you need to upload a new thumbnail. As the file owner only you have the rights to change the thumbnail.

In most cases the files uploaded had the original upload image placed in them. If cases where there was not an image the "no image" image might appear. You will first need to download them from the actual body of the upload entry.

Go to the resource entry and right click on the image.
Click on "Save image as" and put it on your hard drive someplace easy to find.

Once saved click the drop down menu and select "Edit Resource Icon".

This will bring up a popup window. Choose the file you just saved and click save.

The thumbnail is now changed.
