    We have some orders that come in with image thumbnails and some without. Is there a way to make sure every upload have a preview thumbnail? Thanks!

    Hi,

    I am not sure what part of the form you are referring to thumbnails? When I uploaded an image on your form in one of your file upload fields, it doesn't show up any thumbnails. Here's how it looks like:

    Also, you allow some file types like .zip to be uploaded, those will not have any thumbnails as they are not valid images. 

    If what you would like to do is display the uploaded image on the email notification/autoresponder, then that would work by adding "IMG" on your field tag. However, please note that you might encounter problems if the uploaded file is not a valid image like zip files. 

    Here's what I meant.

    1. In your email notification, you can set "IMG" on your fields, that will display the image in your email body. In this case, my file upload field has a field tag {fileUpload}, I changed it to {IMG:fileUpload}

    2. When I receive the email notification, this is how it looks like:

    3. However, if a user uploaded a zip file, and that field is using the "IMG" tag in your email template, then it will show as a broken image.

    I hope that helps.
