Strange guestbook question

I'm adding entries by hand from my old guestbook to my new one (don't have the SQL for the old one), but my old guest book didn't have a gender field, and I can't just guess the gender of all who signed it. So...I want to know if there is a way for me to add the old entries into my new one, and then edit out the gender field just for those old entries. I tried opening the book_data file in phpmyadmin and changing the gender record from 'm' to just '' but that didn't work. Any ideas?

I'd like to figure out how to do this too.
I tried importing past entries from my other forum and it just auto-filled the gender field as male for all of them. grr

hm, just a guess but maybe you should delete the whole thing?
Like take out the whole 'm' part, quotes and all.

Yeah, already tried that too. I've been playing around with the code for a while now with no luck. Maybe it isn't possible to remove the gender option for select entries.

I wish there was an option to post as anonymous too, so you don't have to let your gender be known. Hey reldin, if you figure how to remove the gender field from select posts then please tell how you did it. Or anyone else for that matter.

It's probably impossible to remove the gender field from only some entries. You would have to just drop that field all together.
