Got it. Thanks.

Is there really a livestream right now (Oct. 24, 9:52 EST), or is yesterday's being rebroadcast as live for some reason?

It may have helped a little, but I still feel it is not performing as well as it did a few versions ago. I've also noticed a new quirk in its behaviour. It used to be that you could click on a row and enter a number as a quick way of adding a comic. For some reason I have to click on the row twice now in order to be able to do this. If I just click on the row and enter a number nothing happens.

I don't know if anyone else is having this issue, but I've noticed after the last few version updates ComicBase isn't as snappy as it used to be. Moving between titles and issues there is a noticeable lag which was not there a few versions ago. My system resources are not being overtaxed either. As I type this my CPU is hovering around 10% and memory is only at 42% usage. I am running the 2025 4K Archive Edition v25.0.0.1772 on a Windows 11 system, Intel Core i7-8700K, 32GB RAM, 2TB M.2 SSD with over 500 GB of free space. I've tried optimizing the database and that didn't help, so I will try rebuilding lists too and see if that helps.

Hey, is it it my imagination or is this working now?

So I had a rather frustrating experience over the weekend while attending a show. I was trying to lookup comics in the app, but both cellular and Wi-Fi signals in the venue were so poor that the app often ended up crashing after trying for to bring up the information for an extended period of time. Would it be possible to have a low bandwidth option when using the search feature so that it didn't try to download covers? Or better yet, would it be possible to have an offline mode where you could have a copy of the database sitting on your phone?

I checked several of the affected titles and can confirm it all seems to be good now. At least it is for me. Thanks!

I just checked again and the database still seems incomplete when using the app. Looks fine on my PC though.

I just tried it and it is working for me.

Seems to be working for me now.

I'm using an iPhone, so it would seem the problem is wider than that.

I was coming here to report the issue as well. I can view reports but it freezes when you try to search.

Fair enough. I had a feeling that might be the case. Thanks for the info.

I was just making some room in my long boxes, and looking at "Newman" it occurred to me that it really should be listed as "New Man". I think the confusion may have come from the "Newmen" title, which eventually switched over to "New Men" with issue #21.

I've just been organizing my collection and noticed that many of the Convergence books have higher values than I would have have expected given that they were mostly filler while DC moved offices. Does anyone know why they've gone up so much?

That did the trick. Thanks!

Yes, that would be the easiest work around. I think I'll stick to doing it that way.

Yes, I am running the latest build: 2024 4K Archive Edition, v24.1.0.1213 Yes, these are labels created from the same database, and it only seems to be items under the Magazine category. I can scan comic book labels just fine. I am using a Dymo LabelWriter 320.

It happens every time I scan this book. I just tried Who's Who Update '88 #3 and #4 and I get the same error. I can try a few others if you like. Let me know.

Sorry to create two threads within minutes of each other, but I've never seen this error before. I just added "Scout Handbook" to my database and printed of an ID label for it. When I scan the newly created ID label with my barcode scanner I get the following error. If it helps, this book is filed under the Magazine section. I am running 2024 4K Archive Edition, v24.1.0.1213 under Windows 11.

I entered a batch of dollar bin comics I purchased using the "Add by Barcode" feature this morning and adjusted the purchase price and and condition while entering them. When I went back and checked my inventory it had created duplicates. I can understand why this would happen if I already had the same issues in stock in a different condition, but I didn't own any of the issues I entered. I've experienced this before when the issue I entered had "wanted" ticked off, but this time it was happening with comics where this wasn't the case. See example below: Is there any reason why the system wouldn't simply make a change to the the Near Mint copy with 0 issues? Thanks.

Similar to the Overall Title field you can use under Title information, would it be possible to have something under storylines that would let you pull up all issues from a crossover? For instance, Marvel ran Contest of Chaos across many of its 2023 Annuals, so in theory you would be able to click on the Overall Storyline to pull up all issues from the crossover. I'm not sure if there would be a way to differentiate between tie-in issues and and issues that are directly part of the crossover, but that would be great too. Thanks!

@Mark J. Castaneda I ran a Collection overview for books, magazines, and comics, and none of them display cover images, however, the auto-generated collection overviews for all three categories display cover images. I also ran item checklists of series I own with "items in my collection " checked for all three categories and they also do not have any cover images when looking at the reports under My Comics. However the cover images do appear if you do preview of the report.

I just ran a collection report for comics and I am also getting covers. It's only Books and Magazines that won't display covers when running a report and using the Save to Web function.

I just noticed that ID labels are printing titles much bigger now when space allows for it. That's a great little update. Thanks! And just out of curiosity, how hard would it be to add a few new fields to the ID label? One I'd really like to see is the cover date.
