    For the last couple weeks, screenshots I take do not show up in my screenshots when I go to link them to one of my maps. I will see them if I go to my profile, but when I go to link them to a Forge map, they simply aren't there. At first I thought it was a server issue when it started a couple weeks ago, but I tried again today, and same thing.

    If anyone knows how I can upload custom thumbs like I've seen, I could take the screenshots I spend 1.5 hours taking in theater for my maps and add them that way. For now, my maps that I hadn't already given thumbnails when this started just don't have thumbs :/

    On a different note, one more thing: does anyone know why sometimes if I delete a screenshot off my Xbox and Live it will still show up as a map thumb, but then other times it disappears? I don't see any rhyme or reason.

    Yeah a friend of mine has the same issue with the screenshots he's trying to link to prefabs. He asked if I could take one and add it to my own prefab and it worked perfectly on my end.

    Maybe check waypoint for some help?

    Thanks, yeah I don't know why, but I didn't even think to post up at Waypoint until this morning. Maybe because when I've posted there in the past I didn't get any help ;p But it's done. Will try to report back if I get a solution for anyone else who's having this issue.

    Could you please check with your friend and see if he ever got it resolved?

    Also, if anyone is having an actual error when they try, as opposed to the screenshots not even being there at all, you can probably fix it by making sure your Xbox account is set to sharing content with everyone.

    He says there's a bug in the last update of the xbox insider program. I don't even know what that means but maybe you do lol.

    I've posted on Waypoint twice in support and got absolutely no replies. I posted about this on Reddit a couple days ago too and someone said it's happening to many since a Halo 5 update, but that the problem is even more prevalent in members of the preview program. I am one of them, and seriously considering uninstalling it now.

    Hey Chaos, I'm wondering if you uninstalled the preview and if that fixed the issue. It's been really bugging me for a month now!

    Use the desktop Xbox app/Game DVR to download, then upload your screenshots.

    They will be available for linking under the PC tab.
