:D. Okay, that clears things out. I've already done few today, and the speed at which these get moved is picking up for me. Now that I know how to handle those it will become even faster. Cheers.
 


I'm having another question. This time I'd only like your ruling Morrus. I'm having difficulties deciding whether this constitutes as a mini-review and product info stuffed together, or just well described product info: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?t=189948

Most of the WorldWorks Games' products seem to be same kind.

Yeah - they're just the product entries. Often we'd give publishers the ability to enter their ctalogues into the database - from the looks of it, I'd say Andorax works for WorldWorks.
 


Yeah, I figured that's the case but decided to make sure ;). I've been scouring the database from entries that have nothing else but the product info. I'll include those to that scourge then also.
 

Well the scouring is complete. There should be no more entries that consist only of the product info. Knocked about 80 pages off the list. Now to do some actual importing :D.

I had reverse ordered the list and did the same thing. I thought at one point it was odd that I would remove about ten entries and a couple of pages would disappear instead of just one. I continued for a while from the back of the list to go through and remove comments, leaving only the reviews to transfer but started running into more and more where there were no comments (though sometimes it was a thread with ad text up top, then a review as the only entry, so those I left alone for the time being). Anyway, the old databse is down from 292 pages (almost three thousand entries) to just around 200 pages left. That's about it for my availability for the time being. Feel free to nix my mod status and if I get more time next weekend I might be able to volunteer again.
 

Here is my first attempt, feel free to critique as needed.

The original is here, which I will delete as soon as you OK the new one.

Am I correct in understanding that you DO NOT want the comments?


EDIT: Also there is a second review in the comments that i have saved and will post after some more appear to keep from having them right together as you mentioned earlier.


EDIT 2: I went ahead and did another one for Lords of Darkness from the last page of the original list, but when I tried to delete it it did a soft delete and left a placeholder, is that what it is supposed to do or did I miss something? [I said I would have lots of questions :) ]

Bah! Sorry, I can't seem to do any today and tomorrow. Well okay I can do the review moving itself but I can't upload pictures since I don't have enough permissions on the computer I have to work these two day :/. I frigging hate when I'm stuck on a 'puter that has IE, and locked almost everything...

EDIT: Well I decided on a solution to this. I'll move the reviews now, and when I'll get home I'll upload the pics to them. (Unless someone does that for me :D)
