    My thumbnails never change, even though they are set for "Most recent"

    My album thumbnails always show the first picture of each album

    Have you added any images to the album?

    Do you use the static_html_cache? If you need to clear it of course to see changes.

    I did have the static HTML cache plugin enabled, but there were no parameters set. I disabled the plugin and installed the 6/14 nightly build.

    The images are still the same.

    Are you really sure you did set the album thumbs to be the latest? There is a global setting that can be overridden by individual album settings.

    Please take a look at this video.

    http://youtu.be/tBwiVvQvbuE

    In the video I go to change the Options>Gallery default thumbnail, and after I hit apply, I loose my gallery name.

    I also go to albums and try to change the thumbnail options and again after I hit apply, I loose my album name

    I have understood your problem. But sadly I am not able to reproduce it on my local test install. I will try to on my live install tomorrow.

    To bring this thread to closure

    I went into the ALBUMS table via cpanel. All the values in the field named THUMB were set to NULL.

    When I changed the value to 0 (zero) on a particular album, that album now has random photos as thumbnails.

    I did an export of the ALBUMS table and changed all the values to 0 (zero) in the THUMB field.

    Then I imported back into the ALBUMS table overwriting all data.

    Now all my albums and sub albums show random thumbnails like I wanted them to.

    To make these settings the default for future uploaded albums and subalbums I did the following...

    Looking in the OPTIONS table on line 154 field name "AlbumThumbSelect". The value was set to 1 (which is "Most recent"). That is what my album thumbs were defaulted to.

    I changed the value of this field to 0 (zero) for random.

    I uploaded another album and subalbum and each time i refresh the webpage the thumbnil changes.
