Edit: I was wrong, see Pete's below.

You also have to UPload your revised local profile to the online for the online to know what you have purchased recently...it's not automated...yet.

In other words, you must upload your collection regularly to keep it current online, and your porn will not show...

I don't add the purchase date, I clear it.  Maybe since I'm clearing the purchase date, it doesn't know what to do and just picks four random ones.  There's no detectable pattern to the four it shows for me, as far as I can tell.

When you do a local to online update DVDP scans your collection to find what has been added since the last your local to online update, hence it knows regardless of wether you include purchase dates or not. Try watching what the program does next time you do an update, you get a small scan window that compares the two, then just uploads the differences...not the whole collection.

I have seen it myself, I have uploaded after some purchases, added a few more say a couple of days later, the done some child profiles (normally TV Series). Re-uploaded for a third time for the online to then say I purchased the children after I brought the parent.

If this is the case... then explain to me how I created all the child profiles (6 profiles) for Fridfay the 13th: The Series... which just came out this past Tuesday... uploaded the child profiles just this morning... minus the purchase dates... but yet when you look at my Profile you see the parent profile... but do not see the child profiles there what so ever?

I have been not using purchase dates on child profiles for over a year now just for this exact reason.

I recently added a new DVD to my collection, then uploaded it to my Online Collection.  I then cleared my Browser cache, looked at my Profile, and it's still showing the same four as my most Recent Purchases.  The one I just added is not there.  In fact, I've added, and uploaded to my Online Collection, numerous times in the past months, but my Profile always shows the same four as my most Recent Purchases.  It never seems to change.  What the Hell, over?

Mike

Yup, you're right, Addicted2DVD.  I added purchase dates to a couple of DVD's, and sure enough, they show up in my Recent Purchases.  If I remove the purchase date, they disappear from the list, and I'm back to those same random four entries.  I don't have any Purchase Dates assigned to those four, so I don't know how DVD Profiler is choosing them, but the Recent Purchases list is clearly tied to the Purchase Date.

Mike

It is always the same 4, Karsten, but, nope, it wasn't the UPC's.  One was low (started with 012), but another was high (started with 842).  I have many in between.  Good guess, though.  Oh, well...
