a few websites are offering #3/B for ordering with that sketch cover. My gut tells me its placeholder but not sure.

Additionally, 1/B looks like either a Digital cover or a Preliminary cover as it has no Barcode on the cover (and you can find copies with the barcode without much trouble). And the current 3/B Sketch cover is strange. While it is a sketch of the correct 3/B cover, it has #1 and a Barcode ending in 00111 which would normally indicate a #1 issues (and no variant). Dark Horse website doesn't list it so I am not sure where it came from.

I assume this is a rarer sketch cover, as I have a finished version,

Oh look, a new update... 😊 Oh look, a list of "things that have changed"... 😀 Hmm, doesn't mention fixing Find Grid issues... ☹️ Come to think of it, that list hasn't been updated in a while... 😒 But, it appears to fix my issue. Thank you. 👍

I am back to 5411 and everything appears to work appropriately. I just checked and found that the "Check for interim updates" is still clicked, unlike the last time I stepped back to 5411.

can you drop in a cover scan of 1-W? we accidentally replaced our listing with your back cover scan

Although I can't follow what the above is trying to say, I can confirm that any Find Display (Issue or Series) is having problems regardless of using Regular or Advanced Find. And that problem persists when you go back to the regular display.

So, I've been doing my yearly merge, shuffling and renumbering boxes. I've been walking through the database, using advanced find to merge old box numbers, new box numbers, and Read boxes numbers. I have a template for an Advanced Find that I would modify as I went further in, box by box. Yesterday, I upgraded to 26.3.1.5471, and now my searches aren't giving me access to all the issues in the grid so I can change the Custom Location field as my boxes shift. Items Where: (I.[CustomField2] LIKE "Box 057") OR (I.[CustomField2] LIKE "Box 057%")OR (I.[CustomField2] LIKE "Box 058") OR (I.[CustomField2] LIKE "Box 058 %") OR (I.[CustomField2] LIKE "Box 0062") OR (I.[CustomField2] LIKE "Read Box 006") Sort by: ComicTitles.AlphabetizedTitle, I.[ItemType], I.[IssueNum], I.[Variation], I.[Printing] Given my data, this search should start with Marvel Comics Present #120 and continue through my original box 057 mixed with Read Box 006. The results start with #120, that info is at the top of the screen. But the grid starts partway on #136, 17 issues later. I can scroll lower, but I can't scroll up to earlier than that. Observing the scroll bar thumb as I move through the grid, it appears that the top of the grid is higher up on the screen, underneath the focused item information. If I resize the grid by dragging the top edge, it appears to keep making the problem worse, redrawing the grid with more and more rows being positioned behind the info text. The image I've attached is after I had resized the grid portion on the screen a couple of times and then reran my advanced find. The first item of the grid is still Marvel Comics Presents #120, but now there are more rows rolled up under the issue info, such that the first issue in my results is many, many issues deep in the results.

Thanks, I guess the reinstall reset the preferences. To my knowledge, that's a first. When I update, I have always continued to get the interim builds. Unfortunately, everything worked until 5471 was installed. I'm back to the blank searches for publishers and unable to scroll to lower issue numbers. The Rebuild Lists worked until I restarted CB.

The current interim build is b5471. Use Help->About ComicBase to verify the build you have installed. If you can't install it from inside CB (Internet->Check for Updates), check Setup->Preferences and make sure the 'Check for interim updates is checked (top-right corner). If that still won't allow you to install, then go to the ComicBase website, and use My Account->Registrations. Click on the green arrow next to your active subscription. On the new page, click the Other radio button, and then download the latest interim build (b5471). Once finished downloading, then run that install. That should get you on the latest version. ================ As for the Next Arrow button not working, this is a known problem (evidentially without an easy fix). As a workaround run Rebuild Lists checking the Series Information box.

Still playing and jumping around titles but no more problems to note. I am not able to update to 26.3.1.5460 now, though. When I check, I receive a message stating that my software is up to date.

Progress! I went to Exciting Comics by Nedor and searched for more Nedor titles. It worked as expected! I moved back to Batman. It started at issue #0! I scrolled all the way down to #GS3 and back to #0 with no problem. I hit the Next arrow to get to Batman (2nd Series) and it also started at issue #0. I scrolled down to #CS1/HC-2 and back to #0 several times with no problem. I hit the Next arrow to get to Batman (3rd Series) and nothing happened, it only refreshes the 2nd Series. Beware (Trojan) works fine. I can search for other titles by Trojan and found 6. I went to America's Best Comics (Nedor) and searched for more titles by Nedor. It worked, finding 8 titles. I can still type in the description field in both America's Best Comics (Nedor) and the Nedor titles but nothing is saved. I can type in any blank description field so this may be a quirk I only picked up on today.

I just downloaded and reinstalled CB 26.3.1.5411. In the process of installation, I received a that I needed to close a program I am not familiar nor have I had a message to close when installing updates in the past. I don't know if it is relevant. Following the reinstall, I clicked the Run button, CB didn't open, File Explorer did, to this file:

I am using CB 26.3.1.5460 First off, I wasn't doing anything other than preparing to enter a few books. This all stated with the title "Beware" by Trojan. After typing "Beware" in the search bar and selecting the Trojan title, it came up with no pics at all. The issue information was present, simply no pics. They didn't populate after selecting and opening up a single issue so I changed titles and found that "Beware" by Marvel had absolutely nothing in the issue field, completely blank. I moved back and forth through the titles using the Next/Previous arrows in the top right, all of them had no issue information. I went back to Trojan's "Beware" and tried to search for more from the same publisher. What I got was "Attack (2nd Series)" with a single issue of "Western Crime Busters" in the field where the issues should have been. There are a piece of a pic of the book above it but nothing would allow me to scroll to see it. I changed the size of the window, tried the scroll bar, and clicked a field to I could move up and down with the arrow keys to no avail. I moved on to a different title, "America's Best Comics" by Nedor and had the same blank field where the issues should be . I searched for more Nedor titles and there was no change save a cursor in the description field. I could actually type directly into the field on the screen! In the pic, it appears to be "America's Best Comics" by Nedor but this was the result after searching for all titles by Nedor. You can see what I typed into the space. I I used the Previous arrow in the top right corner and got "America's Best Comics" by America's Best which was a DC imprint. I used the Next arrow in the top right to get through to "Amused to No End" by Jabberwocky, no title had any information in the issues fields. I jumped to Batman and it started with Issue #2 but had all of the information in it. I clicked a field and tried to move upward to #1 but the highlighted field simply disappeared. I clicked it three times, then clicked the down arrow four times and the highlighted field reappeared as though I had scrolled through other issues above #2. I scrolled down to issue #7 but then couldn't scroll back up to where I had started. I happened to notice that #6-H (there is no #6-A thru #6-G) had 1:25 cover by David Aja so I used the Next button in the top right and could only move to the second Batman series. It started at #2 as well with no way to move above it. The second series only goes as high as variant C for #6. I used the Previous button at the top right and found that the original Batman series was now starting at #22 with #21 partially cut off and no way to get to it. I continued to try to use the Next button but can only go as far as Batman (2nd Series). I searched Batman and moved on to the 3rd Series. I don't know if #6-H is in it with a variant by David Aja because it starts at #50-A and will not allow me to scroll above it. I have tried restarting CB and my computer. I have tired resizing the issues window/field and resizing the overall CB window. When I restart CB, it looks good but I can repeat this process (the only difference is what issue the Batman titles open to) when I go to Beware (Trojan) and try to search for titles by Trojan. I still cannot get past Batman (2nd Series) unless I search and go directly to the third series. If I go to Batman (3rd Series) and use the Previous button, I can get to the second or first series but can't get back to the third series with the Next button. Going to any Nedor title and searching for other titles by Nedor takes me to America's Best Comics (Nedor) and a blank issue field below it. I haven't been able to call Pete to discuss my previous, somewhat similar problem because of my work hours. I am still open to trying but will have to find a way to get home earlier as I can't use my own computer at work.

Both corrected, thanks.

#1 is clean, #4 is still doubled.

still happening even at version 5444 e-mailed Pete.

Sorry, the cover above is the back cover with the pertinent information.

Here's an image of #1-W with the description, limitation, artist and "SDCC." I'm sorry it's a bit blurry. The original file will not upload in any way.

It looks like #1-C stayed in despite there being no single cover by David Rubin and J.H. Williams III. They each contributed a cover and they are listed as #1-K and #1-B respectively. They did not work together on a single cover. #1-G is NOT the Gateway Grigori cover, it is the "Artist Variant" by Jenna Cha with the somewhat disturbing cover with people with smart phones under the skin of their faces. The cover is correct, the description is not. #1-H is NOT the David Rubin variant, it is the Jeff Lemire variant. If you look at the artist names, they are alphabetized, and there are two listed by David Rubin (#1-H is out of order) but he only contributed one cover and there is no cover for Jeff Lemire. I have attached the Lemire cover for #1-H below. #1-W is the Gateway Grigori cover by Scott Sugiuchi and is NOT a blind bag variant. It was distributed at SDCC and had the correct image associated with it. I have submitted corrections for all of these.

On future Mobile app development, regarding scanning comic book codes results: show if we already owned If owned how many copies Show if it is a "Wanted" item. I know this would be very helpful before a purchase when at a comic store or event as sometimes you may have an issue but the grade is low and your looking for a better copy or curb impulse buy, thinking you need it for your collection. Also it is way faster then going through your "Wanted" list on the app as some times it doesn't show and image which is important in the 25 Variant Issues per comic Multivers we live in lol.

Guys, if i wanted anything to do with effing paypal, i would have resubbed long ago instead of waiting till you got the card system "working" this is a violation i am stinging about. why on earth did you bother putting the card option in then FORCE me to create another damned account with a company I didn't want to deal with in the first place? this is wrong in so many bloody ways.

Not at this time. The PayPal option will allow you to enter your credit card info even if you don't have (or want) a PayPal - they're just processing the transaction

mentioned to the programming team for them to look into
