That did work. However, I ran into something else. If you have bbcode parsing turned on, you do not get any thumbnails on the main articles index. You'll get your bbcoded image (if you had one in the article before the cutoff) but no thumbnail, even if you attached one to the article. Maybe the better option would be to strip bbcode on the articles index? Is that something that can be done?

Other Recommendations:

One last recommendation would be to give the user the ability to have the thumbnail on either the left or right side on the main articles index. Would imagine that would be fairly easy to implement.
