Q: How can I add thumbnail which is shown next to title of thread?

You have to upload an attachment in 1st post but i think it has to be just 1.

Thats what I meant mate...same same as you said....1 image only in the first post will be the one used for the thread.

cheers bullet

delete any images in the first post, then add a single jpeg or something...it should then appear as the thumbnail for the post

Hmm, yeah, come to think of it... My first thread here contains two pngs and one was used as thread image automatically. Odd.
