That is very unfortunate. The colour values for the automatic thumbnail created by SlideShare for my latest presentation are way off, and I wanted to upload my own thumbnail to correct it. I did this with my last presenation, with no problems. Also, sometimes the cover page isn't the most legible, and uploading an optimized thumbnail is the best way to let people see your cover.
Amit, do you have a specific reason as to why this feature was dropped? Were people abusing it? Does SlideShare not have the resources? I'm also curious as to why/how the site keeps the old thumbnails I've uploaded for previous presentations...
So many questions. Ultimately I'd just like to have that feature back. -
This is a drawback! I used this feature for all my slidecasts, and now some of them lack a thumbnail and I cannot put it back. To make it the first slide would mean I have to upload a new presentation and add the audio all over again...what a shame. Not so much a problem for new presentations, I admit, but I've got over 80 old ones that are still in use by students Biology of our University.

Inappropriate?I uploaded a presentation and afterward changed the first page. When I reloaded the revised version, the thumbnail is still the old version. Can it be updated to reflect the new front page? -
Inappropriate?jted,
This was always leading to technical problems. Besides we had this feature for a year and a half, and very few users were actually using it. This is part of a regular process of adding/pruning features that are working or not working.
For higher quality, I suggest you play around with different versions of slide 1
Chris,
What you are suggesting should not happen. It might be a bug.
is the updated thumbnail still not showing? If so please send me the url and where it is not showing.
Justa s a note, to speed the site, many pages are cached. Which means the content does not refresh immediately... usually takes some time.

Inappropriate?Hi Amit-
I've tried on a couple different browsers and machines and am having the same problem.
My profile is: http://www.slideshare.net/ChrisFarnum/
The presentation is: http://www.slideshare.net/ChrisFarnum...
As you can see, I replaced the presentation successfully, but the thumbnail still shows the old opening slide.
Don't know if this is related, but I also changed the presentation from private to public during the same session.
-Chris
I’m undecided

Inappropriate?ok... I see the problem and this is a bug...
and you guessed it right, it is related to pvt>public switch.
I'll get this fixed... stay tuned -
Inappropriate?Chris,
Check it now... it should be fine (pl clear your browser cache)
