Another noobish question that needs answering xD I inserted a background image... but when I turn off the video, the image isn't there... and I've also posted my beatmap... why is there no thumbnail?

Help? xD

I managed to drag-and-drop a background into the game with the video up. Both of them merged together nicely. The reason why your beatmap has no thumbnail is because there's no background. The video was overwriting the background... But if you put in the video first, then the background second, I guess they stay. The next FULL SUBMISSION you make with the new background will update the Thumbnail accordingly.

If you still have trouble, go open your .osu (File > Open .osu with Notepad):
Find:
[Events]
//Background and Video events
Video,0,"LEATHER PANTS~!.avi"

Then replace that with:
//Background and Video events
0,0,"filename.png"
Video,0,"LEATHER PANTS~!.avi"

"filename.png" will be your background. Make sure your background image is in the song folder. Make sure your background does not exceed 1024x768.

Happy mapping!
