Thumbnail won't change

For some reason, the thumbnail won't change for any of my projects. I have repeatedly tried saving, but it still doesn't work. When I save a project with a thumbnail, the new thumbnail shows on the project page but not anywhere else. (such as my profile, my stuff, etc.) This problem has been present for about a week now, and I have no idea what's causing it. If anyone knows what's going on, please tell me. Thanks.

It may just be a bug in the source code but it's happening to a lot of people

It is because of the slow servers. It will change in a few days.

{I have posted this in another topic aswell}

I've been having the same problem, and I finally figured out how the thumbnail presents itself.

How the project is displayed in MyStuff will be what the project looked like when it saved for the first time. To get around this, try making the thumbnail first or transfer everything from one project into another project with the thumbnail already in place.

How the project is displayed in studios and on your profile will be what the project looked like the last time it saved before going to the project page for the first time. To get around this, save when the thumbnail is visible, then go to the project page. What I just described for this might not be accurate, but it has to be close.

I have a thumb setter and it works for anything public, but in my stuff, it doesn't show l

I think we agree that this is a problem at the moment.

To confirm I give this example, a project created on the 5 Feb, and last saved with a new thumbnail on the 8 Feb (3 days ago now):
https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/483942175/

Scratch is still (after 3 days) not showing the new thumbnail on my profile page, or in My Stuff.

The URL for the thumbnail is:
https://cdn2.scratch.mit.edu/get_image/project/483942175_144x108.png

If you add something random to the query of that URL, you can see that the server has indeed saved the new thumbnail:
https://cdn2.scratch.mit.edu/get_image/project/483942175_144x108.png?random9875
