Ok, so question #2 today (hopefully I posted this in the relevant forum). I have 4 categories nested under a main category. I see that I can add thumbnails to the nested category titles that contain albums, but there seems to be no way to add a thumbnail to the main category which only contains the 4 nested categories.
I'm trying to figure out if this is the norm - in other words, can a top level category which has no albums directly below it display a thumbnail? If not, is there a way to do so?

So no, that's not possible by default. We had some discussion here in the board, but I cannot remember if somebody released a workaround for that issue or not. Please try to find that thread(s) by using the board search.
Ok, thank you. I did search but didn't find a related thread. I'll try searching some more. I wonder if there could be a plugin/mod to set permission to not see an album on the front end but only allow a single image to display for the top level category thumbnail.
I'm really foggy on this one too... but I think the work around was to move an existing album into the category temporarily... assign the picture.. then move the album out.

Thank you for the suggestion - I gave it a try, but the thumbnail didn't stay after the album was moved. Again, thanks for trying to help.
