When I am composing a post and within it linking to another post (also on OPPO), can I control the thumbnail image that appears? For instance, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I link to a couple of the other "Vintage Hot Wheels" posts I've done. The image that appears as the thumbnail is usually not the first one, or even necessarily an image I'd like.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
For a thumbnail for the
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for instance it shows the fifth (and last photo)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
and for the
!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! it shows the 4th photo (of 9) as the thumbnail
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
UPDATE : !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , I deleted all the images in the linked articles and reloaded them again. It fixed the issue. The first image uploaded became the thumbnail.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Is there a way for me to select the pic that becomes the thumbnail for a link? And while we're talking about it is the first image in an article always the one that is the thumbnail on OPPO?
Thanks for your help!
P.S. Even though I have no intention to, you could see how this would be really helpful if I ever put together or linked to a NSFW post.

I think the only way to control thumbnails is the order you choose to put pictures in your post. I'm not sure but I think that the first picture not appearing as thumbnail is bug.
Maybe if you tried to delete all the pictures in a post and then put them back in the same order as they were the first one would appear as thumbnail.

That's interesting. So for those posts I link to it is actually showing the first image I uploaded for the post, regardless of the eventual order I place them in? It would make sense in this post's case because the very first link DOES show the first pic I uploaded as the thumbnail. However, the other two do not seem to adhere to that standard (I can't recall exactly the order of uploading, but I doubt the pics used in the thumbnails were the first). I will try your suggestion of deleting all the pics and re-loading and see if that changes anything.

The first picture will always be the thumbnail unless a moderator chooses to recommend one of the other pictures (this enlarges the image that goes with your post on the Oppo main page). This might be what's causing the confusion.
