After having a look at the actual feed nothing appeared to have changed. However closer inspection revealed that the supplied thumbnail URL had an additional “/160″ at the end which as it turns out is the width in pixels of the now default screenshot.

The URL’s

As the feed supplies the URL I figured the easiest way to change it was in the JavaScript callback function. Using the replace function this was pretty straightforward. In the loop I use to buildup the image and description links I added the following

thumbnail = magnolias[i].thumbnail.replace(’160′,”);

Replacing the 160 with an empty string reverts the URL back to the smaller version. I had a quick look on the magnolia web site but couldn’t find any reference to the change. If anyone knows where these things are published do let me know.
