Setting "Feature" (thumbnail) photo in legacy doesn't work

The "Tools -> This photo -> Feature" selection in Legacy no longer works. No matter what photo I select, the subcategory and category views continue to show a randomly selected photo from the gallery.

Problem is evident here:

Refreshing the page in the browser shows a different thumbnail every time, rather than the "feature" photo I selected.

    If one of the senior DGrinners could most this thread under "Bugs," where it belongs, I'd be most appreciative.

    I attempted to set the first photo in the gallery as the Feature photo and it appears to have worked. Refreshing the category shows the same image every time. Would you be able to give it another try and let me know if it's working?

    Though we've loved legacy SmugMug for 13 years, it will begin its retirement on October 15th as we transition everyone to the new SmugMug. Another way you could set the Feature Image, would be to click the "Return to New SmugMug" button in the upper right, then go to Customize -> Gallery Settings, and set the Feature Photo there.

    Works! thumb.gif I had tried setting it to different pictures all over the gallery, and it never stuck. Perhaps a ghost in the machine that fled when you knew you were coming?

    Thanks!

    There were some outages over the weekend that may have effected this. You didn't just imagine it! Glad it's working now!
