Changing album thumbnail

[skyfx]

I was just curious, is it possible to change an album thumbnail to a file which is not in that particular album?
Thx .

Technically you can, but you are not able to do it using the existing interface.

Well is there a way of doing it without using the interface (i.e. manually)?

Yes, you edit the albums table in the database and set `thumb` to the pid of the pic you want.

Well I assumed that by that you mean go into phpmyadmin. I went into cpg133_albums, and then went to change "thumb" but I was lost from there on. Could you guide me a bit?
