Thumbnail Issues

I Love YTtalk
Hi all,

I have recently uploaded a video. I uploaded the thumbnail and it appeared in the large box above the description and in my video manager.

However, when I go onto my channel page, it just doesn't appear. So I looked on my dad's laptop and it appeared, but then when going onto my videos it was not there.

I've tried clearing my cache and his too, but I don't know. Can anyone see the thumbnail or give me some advice?
 
This happens to many people, Its a bug that YouTube hasn't fixed... When you upload a video and then change the thumbnail it wwill appear as if you didn't choose a thumbnail. Yet if you look you channel up on another device it will. For some reason it take time to change on the device you uploaded on. But you shouldn't worry because it will show your thumbnail to others it just won't appear for you :) Hope this helped!
 
I had this, its okay if it shows on the video manager, it just doesnt show for you when you are looking at your profile

That just sucks because you cannot tell.. Okay thanks for the advice, I have been having that problem.
 
If you are meaning that the image you are trying to upload for your thumbnail is not big enough, I would personally try making sure that your thumbnail is at the following resolution/size: 1280 x 720. This is to ensure that the thumbnail is big enough so that it takes up majority, if not all, of the black space/borders around the image. I would recommend using a program known as Gimp to help you re-size, edit, and enhance your thumbnails to a further extent. This may help attract more viewers to watch or check out your videos. If you are unsure on how to use Gimp or are just not familiar with the software, then there are plenty of very useful tutorials on YouTube and around the web to help you master the techniques.

Overall, I am not completely sure what you are trying to receive assistance on. May we please receive further information about your problem? Thank you. :)

Thanks for your rather detailed response, but it is completely irrelevant to my actual problem. :P If I did have the problem you detailed above then that would be a brilliant response. There are multiple people who have already provided me with an answer, but thanks.
