Last week I updated and uploaded new thumbnail pictures for all my videos. They look great by the way!

But even after a few days, it looks like some of them are not changing over, or it looks like some of the, change then change back. Depending on what computer or phone I check it out on, it's different each time.

Can anyone explain what's going on?

Well I did about 25 at once and I waited 2 days till I saw some changes. You know, I'm not going to run here after 3 seconds and start crying about it. But it took 2 days to see it change over but then some started changing back. Maybe each server updates on its own time. Mypace

Well it is possible! If you check out on your phone, do you see the difference?

Yea. It's different on different machines. I mean it's not the biggest deal, but kind of perplexing

I was just asking because of cookies in your web browser on your computer. Sometimes it's good to delete them and it might work, because sometimes you can see changes on you phone, but not your computer.

What I noticed is that if I kept the file name the same to the original thumbnail, I get all kind of strange behavior. If I change the file name by e.g. adding a number behind it, it will update very quickly and on all devices.
