hmmm. so if everyone wanted this Invelos would need a huge web server. My images are over 2GB. I believe Skips are over 5GB. If 500,000 users all wanted that, he'd need a very large disc array indeed.

If you want to use you own images, for now you have to host them yourself using phpdvdprofiler or myphpprofiler (I think its called).

Host the images yourself...and perhaps Invelos can somehow develope a linking system to the online Profiler?

This isn't likely to happen through Invelos to avoid copyright entaglements with the Studios. AS 8Ball mentioned Host the images yourself.

Not only are there legal issues, there is not enough room in the world to allow EVERY user to show HIS images Online. The Online database is for use by ALL users not any users private playground to display whatever it is he wants to.

To summarize, shtfilter, they are important to you and ONLY you and as such and any other data of a similar nature belong ONLY in your local database.

Not to mention having who-knows-what as a custom image stored on their servers

Excellent idea. I've been asking for this for years. I have tons of my own web storage space and many custom cover images. All that would be needed is custom front & back cover image URL fields in each profile; but I wonder how many people would get into this? But that opens the threat that people might link to inappropriate images on their own storage space.

But members can already decide to show (or not) hardcore porn titles in their online collections, complete with cover images

Thanks for the suggestions.  I have no problem hosting the images myself.  As suggested I would love if you could enter the URL and have the link.

YOU can via your notes, shtfilter. But there are a number of custom cover sites that have been closed down by Hollywood, after all it is their art and is copyrighted. They seem to object to people mucking with their stuff. So if we started providing links to your custom covers, I suspect Hollywood would come after us as well, with the argument that while we don't use them Online, providing a link gives tacit approval.
