Once again, thanks for the helpful advice you provide on this forum. I am sure Cary appreciates it and possibly others.

But like many I would also enjoy seeing your collection, soooo>>>> I would also recommend: 1. Join Photobucket - it's a free service for hosting images. If you can attach find a file on your computer you can add images to Photobucket. Photobucket also gives you the ability to easily post any images you have almost anywhere on the internet with 2 clicks (yes that simple). 2. Join for free here: https://secure.photobucket.com/register 3. Join AllPosterForum (http://www.allposterforum.com/) - it has a wide and active membership, best of all some people don't argue! 4. Re Point #3 (above), please add the word 'much' to the end of that sentence and before the exclamation mark, thanks... Just remember like most social gatherings, and as I have said before "Trying to understand the behaviour of some people is like trying to smell the colour 9." 5. Once 'inside' there are lots of 'threads' you can join/keep a watch on and add comments and images too - despite the fact I am one who enjoys the beautiful women movie posters ('40s-'60s - not so much the horror ones) there is something for everyone in there: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,57.0.html 5. You can even start your own thread about your own collection and share your images and thoughts on it here: http://www.allposterforum.com/index.php/board,4.0.html I can assure you, your posts and collection will be well appreciated by the majority 6. Do join send an email to apfholi...@gmail.com he will add you as a member and then it is relatively simple from there on. However, if that seems too much then I am more than happy to step you through anything technical, I have a few clues on these things and because I am not a geek by trade (and a little older than many of those geeks too) I can talk in a language that you will understand, I will type slowly too so you don't get left behind, most importantly what I don't know I will completely make it up as I go along and with such skill and professionalism you will be none the wiser... All that said, I am more than happy to help out where/if I can and if asked...no strings, well maybe buy me a beer or a glass of NZ Sauvignon Blanc next time you're passing - I am in Sydney, suggest you don't drive. regards David Rew cary black did previously state on 25/02/2014 12:42 PM: I have mostly been lurking on the Mopo site. I would like to share my collecting interests with the other members but have not been very successful in posting photos to the web. The problem is that if you talk about a favorite poster for example Florentine Dagger one sheet which is still a favorite of mine after owning it for 25 years, very few people have seen it and so it is not likely to stimulate much interest or discussion. Allmovie posters has a thread where you can share your collection but they are heavily into post 1960 posters of monsters/scantily clad women and I am interested in 20s, 30s, and 40s crime, detective, mystery and film noir genres. I do attend Cinefest, Cinevent and Cinecon and bring an album of my posters with me to share with the collectors and dealers there. I find being able to discuss the art work, not the value of the posters, and to comment back and forth about them takes away some of the negative aspects such as the tendency for things to turn into a bragging match. In addition I am genuinely interested in what the other guy collects and am always eager to see what he has in his collection. I remain limited in ability to post photos to sites and has limited what I can share. I have never had any training on the computer except for specific programs that were used at work, so everything I can do I pretty much learned myself. I am not any good at reading the manuals to figure out how to do something and I also find that just being told do this and then hit that key just doesn't work for me. Unfortunately when it comes to computers I just have to be shown in person how to do something. The library has free classes but they only cover things like email for people who have never used a computer. Maybe others can share their collecting interests on Mopo, it would certainly stimulate more discussion.
