I've copies of starting from tgsw to advanced submitter and many softwares in between I still think LinkUp is pretty solid submit software even thou it's an old one so enlighten me.. what did I miss? What you know that I don't?

Very easy.
For one, LinkUpPro bypasses the form all together and just sends the values of the fields. Just about any decent tgp script can detect this. For example, some scripts use cookies when submitting. Advanced submitter and a few others like it actually load the page in a browser window, fill out the fields then submit.
Even the install file of linkUpPro is amateur work. You have to download the ms jet engine and other dll's seperately. I assume it was written in vb. This is very easy to do with the package and deployment wizard. This doesn't bother me, but I'm sure many people had problems with installations.
I haven't used it in a while, but I remember there being a bunch of features or lack of that I had a problem with. One was only having 1 description field. I mean, come on.
The category engine if you could even call it that sucked ass. You were pretty much stuck with whatever categories were already there. Sure, you could add more, but the way the program was built, it would be a big pain in the ass 'cause you would have to modify every record.
Also, updating it was a pain in the ass. Not user friendly what so ever. Would rather just use access.
Now, if you have a copy of both Advanced Submitter and LinkUpPro, but you use LinkUpPro cause it's "solid submit software" then maybe you should go back to school
As a matter of fact, anyone using programs like linkup or tgsw now a days should go back to school.
I mean really dude. Mr. yellow might be your friend, but ...
btw, if you're a computer programmer, then you should know that a degree means dick in IT. No school or degree will make you a good programmer. Some of the best programmers are self tought.
