I tried the new build, with the same result.
I usually use the Preview button to look at the report without printing it, but I tried Print with the same result.
It shows me the following dialog box (which never gets past 10% in the title bar), before it gives up and displays the message shown in the first post of this thread.
I don't think so.

Not the same books, or more accurately the information is wrong. Bronze Age Omnibus #1 (As opposed to the paperback one that leaves out "Omnibus") reprints 77-113, #2 reprints 114-146, and #3, which you list separately (although without the detailed notes) collects Justice League of America #147-182, Super-Team Family #11-14, DC Special #27, DCSpecial Series #6, Secret Society of Super-Villans #15, DCComics Presents #17.
Under the original Justice League of America title, Bk 1 HC is 184-186, 192-194, and is the George Perez edition of the DC Library. Number 2 at leat matches the full description and ISBN.
UPC Book 1 - 978140126806059999
UPS Book 2 - 978140127784759999
Book 1 matches despite the erroneous description, book 2 does not (has 847 instead of 857 before 59999.) I did enter the wrong cover price when submitting; it's 99.99 not 125.
It would help us collectors if you could be consistent with these reprint books, especially the ominbuses that have their own series. You list the silver age separately (actually twice, since the first book had a reprint; not sure why that wasn't 1-2 instead of 2nd series) but only the third Bronze Age book? Plenty of other examples as well.
James, sounds like you own them and a bit of clean up is needed overall.
Bottomline... Should the listings under "Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus' title remain but with more accurate information be added? Do Bk 1/HC-Bk 3/HC need to be removed under the main 'Justice League of America' title?
-
screenshot how you're doing you're search, so we can replicate the results.
-
I'll have the Editorial team take a stab at the clean up.
Not sure how you're doing your editing but 'Find and Replace' option under the Edit menu is available for big edit jobs like this.
-
Notes field is preferred for any indicia mistakes.

Programming team tried a bare bones update (for comics and magazines only) and didn't have any trouble with your database. There maybe other settings we're not accounting for that you go with when you update...can you screenshot your Update options so we can try to replicate with the backup you saved to us?
-
We cleaned up what you noted for the upcoming content update. If you find more, you can send a correction via the software's internet menu>send new or corrected data option.
-
Can you list what titles/issues are involved so i can notify our editorial team to look further into them?
-
Do you get the same problem updating a brand new database? This step will help us if the problem database specific OR system specific.
-
I'll re-mention it to the programming team.

Didn't find the first and second issues of "Justice League of America: The Bronze Age Omnibus"; I've submitted them through the database. I'm guessing that it was thought that issue 3 was a continuation of the Silver Age Omnibus numbering, but it is a separate title/issue. Just mentioning this here in case the submittal was dismissed because it was thought it was a continuation of the Silver Age.
I've included cover scans here (and also submitted via the database.)
can you provide the full barcode numbers for #1 and #2?
-
not hearing anyone else have the same problem since this week's content update got released. Try optimizing the database and try again.
-
not sure exactly, it will likely be discussed with the upcoming livestream.
Does the optimize setting seem to be working okay with the new build?
-
New Build is available to download that should address the problem ...give it a try
-
thanks, i'll rely your info to Pete to have him look into it.
-
Try running the Rebuild Lists (File Menu>File Tools) and see if that helps. If you have further trouble still, please reach out to our support team at support@comicbase.com

The Phantom Stranger Omnibus has been cancelled and should be removed from the database.
No word on whether it will be resolicited (although the PRH website still lists it, albeit with an August 2023 release date).EDITED TO ADD: This is in the current solicitation catalog, so the existing entry in CB probably only needs to be updated rather than deleted.
Ugh... didn't read your Edited to Add bit and ended up removing it by accident. Can you resend it so we can add it back into the database and provide the updated street date?
-
No issues with the manual Optimize (meaning it fully completed with no errors)?
Programming team would like to inspect your database, can you 'Save to Cloud' with Sidekick to upload your database to your online account. After you do so, please email our support team at support@comicbase.com and they'll look further into it.
-
Pete suggested to try doing a manual optimize (File Tools>Optimize); afterwards see if the software keeps optimizing as you launch and exit out of the software.
-
Double-check your optimizing settings in Setup Menu>Preferences. You can set to 'Never' if you wish for Optimizing.

interesting bug... i'll have it reported to the programming team.
-
Good catches... will notify the Editorial team to look into all 3.
-
interesting... i'll mention it to the programming team.
Fun with ellipses...

You're correct. I didn't realize with this post it was specific to 'Titles'
