  1. I upgraded the App to v23.1.0.2206.

    I did a content update on a blank dB and it completed fine.

    I opened my dB.  I rebuilt all the lists, then optimized it.

    I did a content update and it completed fine as well.  Not sure which step cleared up the problem, but it's fine now.

  2. I updated the SW to v23.1.0.2177.  The then processed the January 24th content update.

    It keeps crashing near the end when checking Variants.

    See the end of this message for details on invoking
    just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

    ************** JIT Debugging **************
    To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
    application or computer (machine.config) must have the
    jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
    The application must also be compiled with debugging
    enabled.

    For example:

    <configuration>
        <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
    </configuration>

    When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
    will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
    rather than be handled by this dialog box.

  3. Adrian, this is a common and serious flaw in CB pricing algorithm.  They base part of the price on the offered sales prices in AA.  There are 6 seriously overpriced comics for sale for Superior Iron Man #8 right now.  Those all get folded into the new 'value' in the weekly update.  If there are no other sales, then the ONLY factor in the price will be those for sale.  If any seller automatically adjusts their selling price based on the new update, then their issue for sale goes up (or down) every week!

    This is a serious problem that I have pointed out for years with using 'for sale' prices in AA.  If the issue is widely traded, it's not that big of a deal.  But if there aren't a lot of sales, then it radically skews the prices up or down depending on the sellers pricing.

    I wish CB would just drop the whole for sales pricing part of the model.  But, it's always been this way and it's a problem.

  4. I am only an Express user.  When I go to my Registration page and click to download v23, I am only offered the Archive edition.

    Is my download link pointing to the wrong file?

  5. Steve,

     

    I have tried the Rebuild and Optimize.  Unfortunately, neither helped.

    Appreciate the guide to find the problem issue.  I was hoping there was some easier way to get at the data.

    Surely, there is a flag in the dB that is set for unrecognized comics after an update.  I would like to know what that flag is and how to search against it.  Mark, is there a way to do that?

     

  6. There are 2 versions of this comic.  The initial printing was recalled because Tom Cruise complained the artwork on page 3 make the Ethan Hunt character look too feminine.

    There should be an entry for the recalled comic added.  Not sure how that should be numbered.  The cover art of the fixed issue is identical to the recalled issue.  I cannot create the missing recalled issue using my copy of CB (long story).  Can someone create this?

    @Mark J. Castaneda can you help create the recalled entry and get its value priced?  Thanks!
