Redundant database info in Item Description
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Fred Slota's topic in Content and Corrections
yes. For your example... Item Description: Shanda the Panda Variant Cover by Joe Smith Notes: Limited to 1,000 -
Redundant database info in Item Description
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Fred Slota's topic in Content and Corrections
Just to be clear, limited number notations (ex: Limited to 100) should be noted in the notes field and not the Item Description field. -
Redundant database info in Item Description
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Fred Slota's topic in Content and Corrections
Agreed. I was just curious if everyone was on the same page about these 2 things being different; there seemed to be a bit of confusion going on. -With that said, if a comic is Limited to 100, that info should be mentioned in the notes field. -A ratio number like 1:100 (aka 1 in 100) would be noted in the Item Description field at the very beginning like 1:100 Variant Cover by Joe Smith. -

I'll pass the info to the programming team. -
Redundant database info in Item Description
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Fred Slota's topic in Content and Corrections
if a comic is limited to 100, is it the same as a 1:100 release? Some users may not know what COA stands for so whole 'Certificate of Authenticity' is preferred in the notes field. You'll probably see an new post down the line about our approach on the Item Description when it comes to variants where we list all the different types for easier reference; there are other types i think we are forgetting that we'll want to clarify. Feel to mention any that might have been missed. BTW, I believe Pete will be discussing this a bit with the upcoming livestream. -

There is a 'Log Files' folder that you can reference (Documents/Human Computing/ComicBase 2022 x Edition/Log Files) -
„value over time“ in Collection Statistics stopped working
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Axel Imholz's topic in Tech Support
Spoke with our programming team and there was an update bug for international Windows regions with earlier builds of CB2022 that got fixed fairly recently. That bug is most likely the reason why you're not seeing what you expect with your graph. Going forward, you should be OK. Unfortunately, there's no way to get those missing points to show up at this point. -

Just wanted to share the Editorial Team's preferred format approach when it comes to variants... For the Item Description Field: if its a general variant cover it would be formatted like so: Variant Cover by Joe Smith If its a lettered variant it be: Cover A by Joe Smith If the variant is from a special source like a comic shop or convention it would be like so: Red Star Comics Variant Cover by Joe Smith later printing variants (which apparently is thing these days) would be like so: 2nd Printing Variant Cover by Joe Smith If you know the ratios like its a 1 in 25 variant, it would be like so: 1:25 Variant Cover by Joe Smith For the notes field: there's no need to repeat any of item description variant details in the notes field. If the variant has a limited run, a note like so can be included: Limited to 1,000 (limited number can be also be noted in the circulation field) if it includes a certificate of authenticity, a note like so can be included: Includes Certificate of Authenticity I'll share more as the Editorial team thinks of them but those are the most common variant types that we tend to see these days. -

Mark J. Castaneda replied to Axel Imholz's topic in Tech Support
can you screenshot your update settings so we can replicate exactly how you update? also, you update through the main ComicBase software or do you also use Sidekick too? *if you use Sidekick, make sure your update settings are set to your liking as they may be different from your update settings in the main software. -

You mean the column names row should be white with black text on top? -
Update wiped out some Condition field entries?
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Randall J. Paske's topic in Tech Support
Wasn't able to replicate the problem. What update settings do you go with? Maybe that's important to replicating the problem. -

Mark J. Castaneda replied to Axel Imholz's topic in Tech Support
Hopefully i understand what's going on here... Axel, sounds like you don't always use the same updates settings week to week correct? What update settings do you go with so we can replicate the problem on our end? -
Comics not showing in Mobile app
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Robert E. Timm's topic in ComicBase Mobile
Looking at your account, you have 3 database linked to your account all with the same database id number. That's most likely the problem. we would suggest the following: -go to your online profile page here and remove ALL the databases you have listed under the 'Known Databases' section of the webpage: https://www.comicbase.com/mycb/Profile.aspx -launch the ComicBase software, go the File Menu>Collections Statistics - this will give you an overview of your database stats AND link the proper database to your online account for use in the mobile app. -
Aquaman/Justice Leauge:Drowned Earth

removing the wrong spelled title listing. Looks like its already listed under the proper name 'Aquaman/Justice League: Drowned Earth Special' -

I'm assuming you've updated more times in the main software than the graph is showing? -

Not a problem i've ever heard reported with the grading tool. If you're able to reproduce it with detailed steps we'd love to know about it. Please email us at support@comicbase.com if you're able to figure it out those steps and our programming team will look further into it. -
Does ComicBase support label printers other than Dymo?
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Walt Grogan's topic in Tech Support
There's a handful of printers and labels the software supports when you look the Software's Print Window's drop down menu. -

Weird Love Tales is weird...
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Fred Slota's topic in Content and Corrections
Another user pointed that out to us when the actual print copy got released. Not sure why DC solicited as 'Weird Love Tales' but its been changed to 'Strange Love Adventures' with the upcoming content update. -
New Adventures of Shaloman #6 and #SE 1

sounds good -
Philip, for the initial problem you reported, never heard of a case of this happening before. Has it happened again since the first time? Is it replicatable?

New field - Alternate Title & Alternate Issue Number
Mark J. Castaneda replied to Fred Slota's topic in Feature Suggestions
Totally agree with Gregory on this one. Over the years, publisher ed. teams change and their approach to things as well.
