Blurry/Fuzzy Cover Images for Ads?

This may be more of me problem, but the cover image/thumbnail for my ad shows up blurry in the classifieds list. This happens pretty frequently and there are always plenty of classifieds with these fuzzy cover images.

Is there a known way to ensure that the cover image that you select remains as clear in the classifieds forum as the image itself shows within the ad?

Thanks!

I am assuming that these are classified ads created before July 2nd 2024. If this is the case, I believe that if you delete the images from your ad (or at least as many as you can), and then re-upload, it should generate new thumbnails, and you can then set the cover image.

I was able to rebuild thumbnails for a huge amount of classifieds to clear them...

I was able to rebuild thumbnails for a huge amount of classifieds to clear them up, but the process always errored out before finishing :(. So a lot of ads from 2024 still have blurry thumbnails

Ahh that makes sense- Appreciate the clarification! Yeah I created mine on 6/28, so prior to that 7/2 cutoff. I just did what you suggested and the cover image is clear now.

Thanks so much for the quick resolution!
