First of all, happy new year to everyone on LDDb! Second, I have to apologize for slow communication, lack of cover processing and overall shadowy presence in the past few weeks. Basically I've been very busy with other projects and family matters (playing with my niece and nephew DOES beat PHP coding )while spending a month in France with limited internet access and only a small laptop to connect. But I will be back to Singapore soon and will resume regular updates/covers processing as usual (with almost 500MB of backlog to process!). Things should get better soon Julien

Also new (refreshed), the LDDb Search plugin is now compatible with all common browsers (including IE). Examples: Internet Explorer (v8) Firefox (v26) Chrome (v32) Added benefits for Firefox, the "auto-discovery": I'll try to come up with better button graphics, those are quite 90's looking. Enjoy! Julien

Sorry for the very slow communication for the past 3 weeks but after a bad episode of food poisoning (+ increased suspicions that I might be becoming allergic to strawberries), I was away from home to Chicago, Montreal and Tokyo for 2 weeks. When my jet-lag and overall sleep deprivation settles down I will continue processing updates and covers. Rather slow this week still as tonight is the Pat Metheny Group concert and Singapore has a "restaurant week" for which I booked a special dinner almost everyday Glad to be back though! Julien

It's been over 7 years since anyone posted a message in this thread. I hope I get an answer here.
Anyway......
If a member were to send lddb.com updates (new entries, pics, disc info), what is the average amount of time before it is entered into the database and validated?

You can see I'm playing "catch up" with all the new updates: http://www.lddb.com/stats.php?id=8I process covers by batches of few hundreds every few weeks. Easy submit/updates are added quickly, the suspicious ones might wait for a similar entry to correlate first. But nothing gets lost Julien

Very much agree with that sentiment. I was so grateful for the wealth of information I found when I stumbled on this site after resurrecting my old player and smallish collection from back in the day that had sat in storage (meaning my old bedroom at Mum's place!) for 15ish years. I made a donation as a thank you and beyond just being happy to help out, it is nice to see my name on the list Had it in mind that when finances recover a little from a recent spending binge to do the same again. Thanks Julien

ratkins wrote: As always Julien, thank you for all the work you put into the database. Is there anything we/I can do to help in the way of confirming updates/submissions? Meaning is there any other information I can provide when submitting a new title or cleaning up a mistake in the database that would make it easier for you? Usually what will block me are things like: - Adding a title with the same reference (duplicate? NTSC/PAL counterpart? Too little researching before adding something already there?)
- Updating with VERY contradicting information (maybe the title requires a split in 2 different entries?)
- Cover contradicting the LD details, similar cover that might require a split in 2 different entries
- Very weird/exotic/one-of-a-kind titles, etc.
The best way to speed up validation/updating is to either: - Contact me separately with a few pictures of the LD to prove the existence/details
- Put some "notes to admin" in the Notes section to warn me that the data looks strange but that you have a good explanation for it
This way I know that you know that your submission requires a little more careful analysis. Julien
