When you request a model in the request section the forum automatically generates a thumbnail preview based on the first link in the request (and sometimes not). Up until now it’s been a rather hit or miss sort of situation as to what sort of thumbnail will be generated if any.
Based on a discovery by jch1, I’ve made a page where you can test the link to see what sort of thumbnail will appear in the request section. Thread owners are encouraged to find the link that generates the best possible thumbnail. Then edit your first post and make the working link the first in your request.
Take note that it could take several hours for the actual thumbnail to update, be patient, it will eventually change. Also, if the link that you submit leads you to a page of gibberish and random text, it means that the link isn’t compatible and no thumbnail will be generated at all.
When you copy the link to paste it into the submit field, do not include the HTTP:// at the start of the link.
That’s all, enjoy
