Site suggestion for uploading covers
Dr.Agon:
why not make your own 'placeholder' covers?, if you can use MSpaint you can hack together a half decent 'placeholder' until a site approved one is done
thats how i plan to case japanese games...
also, you could make a request...

There are specific threads for people to showcase their work with media fire links, etc, and if they feel it's good enough they can submit for approval. I put the onus back on the cover creators to post them in the correct sections, and to label the Image correctly so it's easier to find in a forum search.
Sorry, but The site couldn't take the bandwidth hit if any old shit was being hosted.

With respect, i disagree. The old shit IS being hosted. Its just too difficult to find it. If there were sections of the site created for covers that are not yet published on the site then it would actually de-crease the bandwidth used by people like myself trying to search for items.
Sure Artists have their own section, but there are sometimes hundreds of posts in each section and there isn't a way (at least i can't find one) to simply search just that one Post.

Why would i spend the time making a place holder cover when a perfectly good cover already exists? Makes no sense to me and its double work.
Besides, some of the covers that are not published are actually pretty good. Maybe have little things wrong with them that the vast majority of people A) wouldn't care about and B) wouldn't even notice if it wasn't pointed out to them.
I don't mean to offend anyone but saying "never going to happen" instead of trying to find a solution (if my idea isn't possible) is short sighted.
Just trying to make the site even better then it is.
