Yeah, I was thinking about this same thing a while back and then I saw a photo of the insert in one entry so I guess people just don't photograph that stuff. Hell, there's a couple of discs I own that don't have photos of the back cover either so maybe I should do something about that, too. Although regarding inserts that have more than one page/side, what amount do you think would be going overboard?

Although regarding inserts that have more than one page/side, what amount do you think would be going overboard? I had sent some cover including insert pictures a while ago but the "files to large" thing came back so will be sending them again. There is a way to send larger lots of pictures out (& Julien very kindly sent details of how to do it) but I really am pretty computer illiterate so will send them out again 2 or 3 pictures at a time. Some multi disc sets & boxed sets have so many inserts it takes quite a few pictures to cover everything but if or when sent Julien can then choose whatever is apt though I do find the extra pictures on here very helpful & often cool to see the stuff included in some discs/sets. If you can send out anything you have that is not already here, I am sure it would be appreciated. Cheers

It's a good way to see if anything is missing from a copy you obtain, or if you have an insert that hasn't been included for that title on the database yet. Also, even if all relevant pictures are already there maybe you have a copy with parts that are in better condition (or in the case of cover pics, you have obi but it isn't on the db yet).

Cheers I'm a little surprised there aren't moderators here (or a least one) to help deal with submissions. I mean to make it easier for members to submit pictures you could have one or more mods to deal with submitted material. This way members could amass however much stuff they want in an organised fashion (folders with title name and title ID) all inside one archive (rar/7z or whatever) uploaded to a file host they use and then provide a download link via message or a submissions section in the forums (threads/posts). Staff could then go through and select the best stuff, crop/resize if necessary and then resubmit to admin internally within a forums staff only section. It's more work but if you have staff to do it then Julien wouldn't actually have all that much more work himself besides organising everything initially. It would encourage more people here to contribute more and the end result would be more thorough documentation. Another thing is some sites have auto-resizing for submitted pictures. Members would only need to make sure they crop before submitting. Just some thoughts, I'm not being critical.

So this could lead to all kinds of confusions and in the end nobody would know for sure what was part of the original package and what was not. Extra workload for Julien. The only way to be sure is buying new and sealed.

It was logical to assume if other pics could exist then whoever submitted the box front/back would've at least submitted pics of every movie cover from inside the box set itself. And we will all be eagerly expecting your pictures of the box contents to add them to the website Thanks! Julien

I used to send in pics back in the day with a 4mp Just take the pictures and send them, Julien can downsize. It is an old camera though. Not much optical zoom either, it's tough series. Trying to get detail at a short distance is rather troublesome with this particular camera. I'm not sure if he'd like me sending 3MB pics via email, the submission info says maximum 150KB/picture. Guess I can try anyway

Julien I uploaded (to your cloud) front, back & insert pics for Alien (1979) [PILF-1237]File is Alien PILF-1237 - lddb deadlegion.7zPlease let me know if they're too terrible to use, that's about the best I can do at the moment. I also did an edit for some info about Heroes: Season 1 (2006) [825 244 4] but I won't submit pics for that HD DVD box set right now as I don't have a scanner to do it properly.
