Some Tips for How to Avoid Posting Duplicate Images

1. If a gallery has thousands of images and you have an older photo you want to upload, odds are that it has probably already been posted.

2. For newly released images, one can easily tell if it has been uploaded already by checking the first 5-10 pages in the gallery.

3. Looking at the first five pages of the 'top voted' images will give you an idea of what has been uploaded and from what photo shoots or events. Most duplicates are found in the first 5-6 pages. If you see an image that is similar to, then there is a good chance that the other images from that collection have also been uploaded.

4. Depending on how many images have been uploaded to a profile you may want to search ten pages of the 'most viewed' images. This is similar to the top voted but most high school photos or early publicity photos are poor quality and don't get many votes but do get plenty of people viewing the image.

5. Be careful when uploading random images of a celeb you find on someone's tumblr or blog. Just because they have been newly posted on a blog or tumblr, it doesn't mean that they are actually new. Lots of images on such sites are photoshopped, manipulated or cropped versions of the original image, which are not allowed on Listal.

6. If you need an image for your list, but don't want to bother to check through the gallery to see if it has already been posted, upload it instead into your personal profile gallery
