The best thing about lurking in MoPo is once you filter out the incessant ads
and self congratulatory posts you can still gets you lots of info from it, so
stay a lurker - or at the least a part-time lurker. But like many I would also
enjoy seeing your collection, s>>>>
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.

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

Re: [MOPO] Collecting interests
I think that you are very much mistaken; A vast majority (myself included) of the people on this list would love see a picture of a 1935 film-noir 1 sheet. Especially one so rare as to not exist on movieposterdb.com, emovieposter.com or ha.com. imgur.com is the easiest free image sharing site that I have ever used. If you want to share it with the group you can always upload it there and post the URL (imgur will give you one when upload) in a message.

Re: [MOPO] Collecting interests
Welcome aboard Cary, Look forward to talking with you about your collection in the future. I am jealous of you being able to attend the various conventions, they sound like fun. I don’t think anything like it is held in Australia, correct me if I am wrong if any of the Aussie dealers no different.
