Maybe im an idiot and you already can do this, but anyone else think it would be nice if you could choose the video thumbnail for videos uploaded to NS? I often scroll over them to judge if i wanna watch a video or not because often you can tell if its going to be a joke or something to get stoked on!
thoughts?

This feature is coming with the new uploader. When you upload, the system will give you a few different thumbnails taken from the video to choose from.

You now have the ability to change it via choosing from 4-6 different thumbnail options on videos you upload. Give it a shot and let us know what you think.

Its in your MyMedia when you click the "i" icon on each video, or its under 'edit media details' right within the video page in the gallery.

The feature is only available on videos you upload from now on or that were uploaded over the past couple of days.
