@Evan Fix Are you still have any issues creating a new db with ComicBase Free?
-
A simple computer restart may work too before trying the steps i noted before. Sounds like another program or process on your computer could be conflicting with the action your trying to perform

I noticed the image was in png format which could be why its not dropping into the software correctly. I converted it to jpg and added it to our master db just fine, suggest you do the same.

Top Gainers & Losers Report Does Not Provide Any Listings
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Steve McCarty's topic in Tech Support
Kurt, email our support team directly at support@comicbase.com and let them know what's going on your end. Also, use ComicBase Sidekick's 'Save to Cloud' feature to backup your database to your CB online account, the support team may need to inspect your database to replicate the problem to see what's going on with it. -
-Try uninstalling the ComicBase Free software -restart your computer -redownload the ComicBase Free setup file here: https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Products/Free_2025.aspx -if you have any software security like Norton or MacAfee, temporarily turn it off (to ensure all system files get installed). Reinstall CB Free -See if the problem comes back next time you launch the software. If you still have trouble, message us back here.

Try these steps: First, make sure you've installed CB2025 on the new computer.

Top Gainers & Losers Report Does Not Provide Any Listings
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Steve McCarty's topic in Tech Support
Kurt... Do other reports work for you like the Collection Report? Also, when was the last time you ran a weekly content update (internet menu>check for updates)? I'd suggest doing that then run the Top Gainers & Losers Report afterwards -
this situation is common for users moving to a new computer. Check out this article that walks you through the process: https://comicbase.com/mycb/Article.aspx?N=2

Im unable to dig up any info on what's inside. Don't know if there are B&W comic strip pages OR sketch/pinup pages. Anyone own a copy to confirm? -

Top Gainers & Losers Report Does Not Provide Any Listings

Having trouble recreating the problem... Can you screenshot your Report Menu settings so we know what you've set for the Top Gainers & Losers report? We'll try to replicate the problem. -
The New Megalith Series
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Doug MedicAR's topic in Content and Corrections
so there's 100 variants? All confirmed to actually be released? Ugh. the safe approach would be to create a Megalith NYCC 100 Edition title then list the all variants (1/A, 1/B, etc.) -
The New Megalith Series
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Doug MedicAR's topic in Content and Corrections
So the preview you have isn't considered the full issue and its limited to 100? Is there an interior indicia (fine credits) page that states the official title name? -
Collection Report not saving to the Cloud
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Mark J. Rogers's topic in Tech Support
We'll report to the programming team to look into for you guys. Check back in a hour or two if they show up. -
Clean up for 10/30/2024 content update
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Gregory Hecht's topic in Content and Corrections
accidentally overlooked this post.. we'll address everything with the upcoming content update. -
Reported this to the programming team but no timetable to address the issue for you. Its tricky according to them as a 1 monitor setup is still the norm for most of our users (2 monitor setup maybe which CB handles pretty well). *Would recommend emailing the support team directly at support@comicbase.com and note the monitors involved, your video card(s) type, resolution settings for all monitors, and anything else relevant to help them address the issue for you.

You're using the most up-to-date version of CB2025 (v 25.5.1 Build 2195)? What are the steps you do to reproduce the error because we're not able to get the problem when we try?

You're talking about the 2005 series published by Dark Horse? -
Also, restarting your computer should restart Sidekick too.

WHY do you keep erasing my item description info!!!
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Robert Avino's topic in Tech Support
Thanks for the feedback. We do our best to describe out all the necessary details for variants; research and our user submissions do help fill in bits we may not have - all that is considered/processed in the indexing style we prefer. The huge challenge for us is the thousands of variants that come out on a monthly basis. With about 85% of comics being a variant of some sort, its super tough to get them all detailed out the way we'd like. Not to mention the publisher data we get from the start don't always have the variant details to begin with 😞
