Just to let you know why I found the sample free database difficult to use:

I was trying to to submit to a lingerie freesite - so I selected the lingerie category in submission type- but there are some LLs which dont have a lingerie category that have other suitable categories such as softcore. And my freesite that I made was also suitable for the Porn Star category.

However when I selected the extra submission types it duplicates some LL submission so that for example for link-o-rama I would be submitting to both porn star and lingerie category and the program would make recips for both. If advanced submitter didn't do that it would be much easier to use.

Basically that's a problem that can't be avoided if you make a database for more than one category. But you could select "LL_Lingerie" as your main category, and move those Sites that you'd like to use too from "LL_Softcore" to "LL_Lingerie". That way you'd end up with a new submission category that would fit your Freesites almost perfect

Hmm - I think the best way to do that is to duplicate something in LL_lingerie to LL_softcore-lingerie rather than change it. That means that the softcore category stays complete if I ever need to go back to it. And I can easily choose the extra LL_softcore-lingerie if its applicable to that freesite. Similarly I could do this with LL_pornstars-lingerie.
thanks for your help with that - it now makes the databse alot more workable.

Just one question about the large member database which I can buy:

Say for example I make the above changes and also remove some crappy LLs from the database and save it what then happens when the database is updated (Assuming the paid databse comes with updates). How will installing the update effect my current settings?

I wouldn#t remove anything from the DB, you can also move those LL that you don't want to use to LL_Crappy

The free updates for the Database basically just come as a complete new database. But you can i.e. just import the sites from the new database (sites.dat) into your old database with the "Override existing data" feature off, that way only sites that were added with the update would get imported into your existing DB.

BTW: I have a newsletter at http://www.adultsponsortest.com/news.../subscribe.php if you want a short info when the LL DB is ready.

Okay that makes sense and I think you've solved all my concerns. I'll get submitting tomorrow.

I'm on that mailing list

Thanks
