Changing a project's thumbnail

I have a project, LIVE Global Scratch Clock, and the thumbnail for it on my profile is the scene in which I last saved it, which is great. However, when I search for it, the thumbnail I see is a blank background with the Scratch Cat, like in a new project. The same thing for studios. I want the thumbnail to be the image on my profile as well.
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! ^.^

Changing a project's thumbnail

This has been reported many times. Here is my guide to fixing this:

1. You must have fewer than 6 cloud variables. Otherwise, you must make a new point, skip to point 5 on this list and rescript the whole project.
2. See Inside the project you want to change the thumbnail of.
3. File > Save As Copy. A copy of your project will be opened.
4. Set up the thumbnail you want to be seen everywhere.
5. Click Save. Then click on see project page. This is essential to prevent the thumbnail from changing again.
6. If you have any cloud variables, you must remove them, create new cloud variables and re-add them.
7. Share this project. In the search feature, studios and my stuff, the first saved thumbnail when you clicked on see project page will be shown. On your profile, the last saved screenshot will be shown.

Unfortunately, any love-its or favourites will be lost…

Hope this helps

Ah… I was hoping that there was another solution than this. I had planned on doing this only if I had to, but thanks!

Well, the only issue I have now is that it doesn't show up at all in the search, but it works in galleries! Thank you lots!
