When I'm using the youtube plaits plugin for iPhone when it loads on the iPhone the thumbnail never loads for a video? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

Hey I don't want your money, but am here to help. Can you shoot me message and we can get this moving forward for you. Tony Buzztouch

For what it is worth the plugin isn't working properly I emailed the developer on this - it seems the images are not appearing now :( This affects a lot of the apps out there - I would email him too -If he doesn't respond please get a hold of Susan since this effects everyone Thanks Sheri

@Adam has came up with the solution, big thanks to him.
