    @Hiimakeplanes I would assume the user is Chinese.

    @Hiimakeplanes Hmm. Well, I'm out of ideas at the moment. I'm not a mobile user, so I'm not entirely sure how to upload an image on a mobile device.
    You might ask someone to take screenshots of your build, upload them, and then send you the links of the screenshots.

    @Hiimakeplanes First, you need to upload the image using an image upload site (such as Discord, postimages.org, and maybe Google Photos). Then, copy the image URL, and paste it into the image link section of the text. Note that postimages.org will only work if you use the Direct Image Link.

    @Hiimakeplanes It's also helpful to include screenshots/GIFs in your post's description to better illustrate different perspectives of your aircraft. It can help draw viewer's attention.

    @Hiimakeplanes I think it's a matter of making your thumbnails "pop". Typically you don't want your build to blend into the background. You also want to use fonts that compliment the build theme/screenshot (hopefully that makes sense).

    It also helps to change the time and weather settings to help emphasize your build in your screenshots.
    Changing the FOV can also be useful.

    I would recommend using Photoshop. Or, if you are unable to afford Photoshop, you can use Pixlr, which is essentially an online photoshop tool.
    I use it for my screenshots. Here's an example: https://i.postimg.cc/qMQXvgfB/Nightswift-Thumbnail.png
