If it’s free, why do I need to register?

Registration stops bots spamming. You have to supply a real email address then activate your account via a link that we’ll send to it. Once you’re registered, we can use the email address to let you know when DVDs are posted that you might be interested in, and for other members to contact you by. (Messages are sent… Read More »

If it’s so good, why is it free?

The more members there are, the more DVDs available to other members. So the more likely it is to find ones of interest. So to encourage as many people as possible to register and to post DVDs for exchange, you don’t have to pay a penny to register or to use the facilities. Perhaps we’ll start charging a… Read More »

An avatar is a graphical representation of you. It doesn’t have to be a photograph, it can – for instance – be a company logo.

To complicate things even more, within each type of browser you can usually personalise it quite a lot – for example by making the text size… Read More »

Who owns the copyright to what?

Things generally fall into one of three categories: graphics and text we’ve created ourselves; things we’ve got a licence or the copyright holder’s permission to use; publicly available graphics – such as the DVD images provided by IMDB. If it isn’t immediately obvious which is which, assume we own the copyright and ask us. (If we don’t own… Read More »

What is a ‘field’?

It’s a big patch of land full of grass or crops. But in computer terms it’s an area you can fill out, like First Name field and Town | City field. They can be text fields designed for just one or two words, text boxes designed for lots of words, date fields where the entry has to be… Read More »
