Editing a Blog to show a Preview Image failure.

Editing a Blog in order to show a Preview Image that is seen on the Blogs landing page does not result in the selected image being shown as the Preview.
This may be similar to another issue reported before about a Resource Image Preview failure. That issue was resolved.
- When using an image of the suggested size, nothing happens, the User/Studio profile image is used. Switching back and forth between the User or Studio profile images appears to work fine.
- When using an image that is larger than the suggested size, the "Crop" page shows an incorrect image. If memory serves, it's actually showing me the last image that I cropped in order to use as a preview image for a Resource.

Quote:But did you select a preview image when you initially created the blog (which does appear to work), or did you edit a blog for the purpose of adding a preview image (which still fails)?
I got a preview image on for blogs.

Despite my choice of a Preview Image for a blog I am about to post, the actual image shown in the Crop Page is the one that appears to somehow be associated with my account from the aforementioned Resource Preview Image issue.

Just saw confirmation that I CANNOT select a Preview Image even when creating a New Blog! Despite my choice of a Preview Image for a blog I am about to post, the actual image shown in the Crop Page is the one that appears to somehow be associated with my account from the aforementioned Resource Preview Image issue.

I logged this bug on Friday for the webteam to get to.

If there has been work done towards correcting this, it may have had unforeseen consequences with a previously solved similar issue with Resource previews.

This issue is most likely what caused that one to break again since resources are actually blogs under the hood. I'm not sure if anything has been done against this bug yet or not. I'm back into a dev role (awesome new QA Lead starting next week to take over for me!) these days so I'm a bit out of the loop or what the status of some bugs are.
