I have note caught up with updates since 3.0 came out in March.  I am now down to 8 DVD's with updates.  I hope to have those along with any new ones completed by the weekend.  How many do you have?

I usually run updates twice a week,, so I would not have as many as you or others do if you don't update in 6 months..

and Don't forget  this is a hobby,, or is supposed to be., Most hobbyists work ( or play)  daily..

I have been working on them every few days, but within a week of 3.0 coming out, I had about 550 updates to go through.  I would clear out 50 and 100 more would show up.  I finally just quit and waited for 2 or 3 months before I started working on them again.  I had gotten it down to 9 and then 3.1 came out and it shot back up to 100 within 2 or 3 days.  Now I am back down to 8 and hopefully I will get these done before a new wave hits. 

I did not contribute about 150 profiles that the new profile on 3.0 was wrong, but I was just trying to work through them.  I could kick myself now because one thing will be fixed on a new update, and othere stuff will still be wrong.  I am contributing all profiles that I find errors in the new updates so I will not have to do the research again.

I remember there was a time I had about 800 updates in the queue. Don't remember when I got through those, but it's been a little while.

Now, I update every morning, right after checking my emails, so I have none

It took me a few months to get caught up, but I finally did it last night!

What happened was I was seriously ill last year (starting about this time) and didn't log onto the main database very often.  Then version 3.0 came out with a multitude of profile changes.  So I got to a point of being about 800 titles behind, same as Ross.  

To work this 800 title list down, I did a few letters at a time (A titles, B titles ... Z titles).  Of course, I'd have to start with the new profiles added since my last update with lower-letters, but until the new disc types were added, there weren't many of those to keep up with.  And last night I finally updated my last title - so now I can start the process all over again.

Now, so long as I don't get sick again and continue to run the updates timely, I'm okay.

Three or four updates per month, for CoO, generally. Today, it's empty, as most days...

In the last or month or so the improved quality of updates coming in allowed me to get down to about 200. I usually keep the ones which I think are not good in the list, as a reminder that it's one of those items I could work on...

I caught up a month or two back.  As of this moment, I have 60.  But with Matthias' new Profile Comparison plugin, it takes no time to get through those.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

I agree.  Matthias' plugin is a big help in displaying the differences between the two profiles.  Before, I spend a whole lot of time trying to find the differences between my data and the updted data - especially in the overview and Easter egg sections.

Thanks, Matthias for a really usefull plugin.

Nevermind, I got it.  You have to disable UAC on Vista.

I usually update daily so it's mostly mine and 4-5 others (or occasionally more when someone does a big CoO update )
