This is due to the fact that the program is a beta. The license and the website clearly state that the application is released solely for the purpose of addressing the issues that would arise from testing between the submitters(ie you) and the webasters(ie the individual who owns the site you are submitting to). Midnight Ventures makes no warantee or guarantee on the existing software you are "testing" as a participant in the program, and is provided as a courtesy for free, and not as a service for a paid fee.

1. If you forget to select a category in the Job Creation then it give you an error and closes the window when you click ok. Not good. it should let you select what category you actually want
I will look into this, I suggest that any suspected bugs that you find are submitted via the Bug Report form at http://www.midnighttgp.com/submitter/

2. There is not option to list current jobs. For instance i created a bunch of jobs by the same name and then when i goto sumbit i have like 7 jobs by the same name all diffent.. how do i know which is what? I tried opening the database but it asks for a password =(
I believe I understand what you are asking. Jobs get promoted through the process. Once a job is created it is only viewable from the Replication menu. Once a Job is replicated it is only viewable from the Submission menu. Jobs may be recycled on the submission menu back to the Replication menu. Jobs that are demoted from the replication menu are jobs that are deleted and need to be recreated.

I do agree that there should be one screen, perhaps we can call it "JOb Status" where you can look at the jobs. I will attempt to accomplish this by Wedensday's release.

The Database is, as mentioned above by Ludedude, property of Midnight Ventures and is password protected.

3. Let us choose how many thumbz are linked to pics. For instance the default is 5 but 18 N Sexy TGP has a limit of minimum 8 pics. (Unless i'm ok crack and the field in the Job Creation means thumbnails). Yeah, you guys should be more specific what that field means in the Job Creation. Pictures: does that mean the number of thumbz of the number of actual large size pics that are linked?
Thx for a good job.
I agree. In the galleries, you place your pictures on the template using the ~xpic~ keyword in your html template form. The application creates a picture everywhere that you have the ~xpic~ keyword. Perhaps a second keyword, like ~xlpic~ would indicate the pic you want linked. This way people can choose how many, and where, the linked pictures will be. During the free beta period, that application automatically selects the first five pictures encountered as linked pictures.

I noticed that the TGPs are cross listed in the categories. So if I am submitting gallery A to all teen TGPs and gallery B to all hardcore TGPs, a TGP might have a rule to 1 submission a day or so and I might end up getting banned!
I contemplated doing this in an unattended section of the application that would allow you to schedule the submission of jobs days or weeks in advance. Since many of the TGP2 boards have not finalized their rules, and since this is a free beta, the onus is on the submitter at this time to regulate their submissions. I will take this into consideration.

If you could email those to me at [email protected] I would appreciate it. I have not seen any responses like that myself. All sites placed into the submitter were done so at the request of the webmasters. If a webmaster is sending out a response like that, they will be REMOVED from the submitter list. In our opinion, this would be akin to a gallery creator placing a gallery into submission and then modifying it after it was posted. The submitter is a tool that allows TGP2 webmasters to get their sites on an auto-submission list and I will not allow any webmasters to receive posts from my tool and then change their posting rules anymore than I would allow a gallery creater to post to my tgp2 board and then change their gallery page to all blind links.

If there are any other questions I can address, please feel free to contact Kandi or myself.
