I already emailed to admin@renderosity.com but then I realized that this is, maybe, a better place to ask my question. I'm one of the many members who think that thumbnails should be mandatory in the freestuff area. So when I posted my first freebie yesterday (published as: "Conforming V4 bodice" Friday December 29, 1:50 pm) I sent a link to the .jpg intended to be the thumbnail; but, oh surprise, the freebie appears without the thumbnail ("no thumbnail was supplied"!?). What's the problem? I'm using a hosting service (savefile.com), not a website, I have seen that many other use this solution (with this same provider). This yields links to download the files (.zip for the stuff and .jpg for the thumbnail) so I imagine that somebody has to download and then upload the thumbnail, so if the procedure is automatic there can be a problem, is this the reason?
Anyway how can we/I fix the issue?
Btw why is it not possible to upload the thumbnail for freebies "directly", as we do for images?
Thanks in advance,
EPhi
