In Progress

Why isn't the poster I uploaded the primary poster for my country?

I uploaded a poster and tagged it correctly to the movie, country and language. Still, it doesn't show as primary image as it should and like others do that I've uploaded. Any reasons? All things were approved. #250929-065926-810402 Another question: if I upload a poster which has nudity in it's artwork (painting, not anything sleazy at all), it gets refused even though IMDB has the same image for another country. What gives?

I've also got poster uploade rejection with these kind of reasons: Your contribution has been declined.We did not capture a specific reason during processing. ??? Title Link Addition Reason Does not meet contribution guidelines. Your contribution has been declined.Please review our submission guidelines. ??? Can't link a regular poster to a regular movie?

Hello Lex87, 250929-065926-810402 the submission was approved and the poster is live in the title page. If you want to request this image to be the primary remember that we want: The most iconic and widely-recognized poster. You can submit a primary image change, the instructions are below: https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/images-videos/how-do-i-update-my-poster/GA8N34CWGUMJJM98?ref_=helpsrall# For the declined submission, can you post the 18-digits submission reference number?

Thanks for the response. I see that the poster is there in the images but it doesn't show as the primary poster for my country, but the English one. I tried on two browsers, also without logged in, and it's not on the title page. To my knowledge you can't change it to a primary poster like you mentioned, because that means it would be the primary poster for all countries, which isn't the case. Am I right? It should be primary just for the country it has been tagged, and like other hundreds of posters I've uploaded the same way. 251004-064724-094702 declined for being inappropriate, even though the same image is in the gallery already. 250929-093714-350402 declined for no reason, I just uploaded it again yesterday and it went fine. 250929-171822-000302 declined for no reason. I guess I should check every time how these fo through as I usually delete my images from my PC after I've uploaded them here, but I guess I shouldn't.

@Lex87- Thank you for posting the submission references! 251004-064724-094702 - the image on the gallery was incorrectly added and has now been removed. This image cannot be added. 250929-093714-350402: this image was approved but the title link was the one declined. Further reviewing it, it has now been added. 250929-171822-000302: Same case for this image as above, however, I can see the the title link is already on it.

Thank you. Weird that the title link gets declined on some cases for no apparent reason. :/

Still wondering about the one in the first post, it isn't showing as a regional primary poster as it should. Another one is 251006-080822-053702 where the English poster is still the primary poster for my country and not the one I uploaded. Both images can be found from the gallery and they look as they should but there is seems to be some kind of glitch.

251113-141851-691302 declined for no reason. At the same time someone posted the same poster but lower quality and it was accepted. Please remove that one and approve mine which is higher quality. Thanks. These are still unresolved where the posters are not the country's primary posters: 250929-065926-810402 251006-080822-053702

@Lex87- For this one (251113-141851-691302), the title link has been added. 

For the other two submissions, this has been fixed and I can see the posters are now displaying as the primary for Finland.

Thank you. :)

Can you also check The Terminator 1984 as well? I don't have submission ID but the case is the same, poster uploaded but it's not been set for primary. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay. Here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088247/mediaviewer/rm3121850626/?ref_=ttmi_mi_2 

Also same thing with other movies and their posters:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097368/mediaviewer/rm1423941890/?ref_=ttmi_mi_1

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073195/mediaviewer/rm3952586242/?ref_=ttmi_mi_4 (the one that is now marked primary poster for Finland is a badly made fan "poster")

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10548174/mediaviewer/rm1340055810/?ref_=ttmi_mi_3_2 (the one that is now marked primary poster for Finland isn't the real poster even though it's close)

Thanks again. :)
