Nope. Sites like Angelfire will show a graphic that says, "Hosted by Angelfire" in place of the desired thumbnail. (As far as we're concerned, you have a valid thumbnail - it shows something, even if it's not what the poster wants.) You can also opt to not use a thumbnail - just leave the thumbnail link area blank. That's perfectly fine, too. If you put in a link for the thumbnail and you make a typo so the thumbnail link is a broken link, then the upload will be rejected. It takes a lot of time for us to guess what the correct link is supposed to be and it delays us getting all the Free Stuff tested and approved. It's easy to tell when there's an incorrect thumbnail link - you get that empty box with a small red X in the upper left corner. (Like the first graphic caleb68 shows.) Hope this clarifies it, Cres
