Please click here to visit DomainTools.com and search for your website. (Or go to DomainTools.com/YourWebsite.com - replacing YourWebsite.com with your website.)
Then click "queue thumbnail for update/addition". If you don't see that option, click "show detailed view" and you should see it.
Issues?
- Sometimes DomainTools.com has sites marked as "Domain Parking Lots" that aren't. If that's the case please send an email to us at Help@AboutUs.org and we'll request that they manually update it for you.
- If you've updated several thumbnails already or if the thumbnail has been updated in the last month, this option may not show. Try again later.
- While AboutUs.org has pages for subdomains (like Blog.Website.com), DomainTools.com does not. So a page on AboutUs.org for a subdomain will not be able to have a thumbnail.
