Question: Is it possible to change the thumbnail shown in the last uploaded album view? It's currently showing the first photo sorted by "title" but I would like it to show a different photo. I'm able to choose the thumbnails for each album under edit properties for the albums but they are different from what is shown in the Last Uploaded Album view. ???
