Description EDIT - This tutorial doesn't work anymore with Eclipse, since I made this in 2011.  Sorry I'm inactive on dA and not sure how thumbnails work now.   

EDIT - This tutorial is a little outdated since it was created before the "Share buttons" existed, but it still works. I'll update it with newer images when I have time.
.
To find thumb codes now:
1. Go to deviation
2. Find the "Share buttons" to the right that have a Note, Facebook, Tumblr, & Twitter, then click the down arrow
3. Copy the code under "Thumb"

I made this mostly for the directions in :thumb174033030:  Ooo look, another thumbnail! Let me know if you have any questions!

For those who are having trouble and posting thumbs on messages.

Without membership: You can only use thumbs on your page, not in text/message.

With membership: You can use thumbs on your page and text

For example in text only for PMs:

Putting thumb in text and comments will work on premium members..

Normal users can use thumb only on their profiles.. Aww I want to be a premium  

Nice icon

I think it's for when you want to use a pixel icon on a custom box, but not on comments because it worked on my custom profile page box

You can hit "Preview" instead of "Submit Comment" to test it out first, instead of sending me a comment notification.  ;)

Someone please help me! I'm trying to do just as this says, but the stamps just won't appear All I get is this:

   

It's really strange. I'm trying to put these stamps in a description for my artwork, when I 'preview' the description, the stamps show - but when I submit, they're gone.

SweetDuke In reply to Evey-chan [2014-06-30 02:41:04 +0000 UTC]

Are you still having this problem?  If you can, can you send me a link to a deviation where it won't show up?  Just make sure you have less than 6 thumbs, since dA won't let you have more than 6 in one deviation.  c:

For this one, I just copy/pasted the thumb code, :thumb414025492:
