Same as the other topic I posted, Redoing this one as a reminder for the next update. Please and thank you.
-
I was waiting to see if the new quarterly update would have this but it doesn't, so I am adding this comment as a reminder. Plus including the number of covers uploading, Thank you.
-
I updated the software to the latest build (23.2.0.2495) and then installed the content update. I got this error message, and everything finished, but I didn't have any covers download. I reran the update and same error message and no covers. Were there any this week?

Each issue is solicited in Previews as a one-shot, but the indicia and the UPCs have them as different issues of a series. As with your other thread, the same is true of Archie & Friends.
-
That depends on the title indicia. There may be some which have the abbreviation and some that don't.

It is US newsstand. The US price is first, so US. The barcode begins with 71486, which is the number of the publisher/distributor at the time.

Welcome to the dilemma. This has been an ongoing situation with various titles. The longer an item has been incorrectly listed, the less likely CB will fix it because too many subscribers would have to be alerted to the change. Although, since there now exists a report for that, maybe it could change?

The Amazing Stories (TSR) listed in Comic Books are duplicates of Amazing Stories (Ziff-Davis) in Magazines. The TSR title and issues should be deleted.

When I would submit larger covers with previous versions of CB, I would get a prompt saying " You have X covers that are new or larger than ComicBase has on file. Would you like to submit them?". And then a thank you popup once the covers uploaded. CB2022 doesn't do this. I get a popup without knowing the number of covers that are new/larger and I don't know when the process is done. I know upload speeds are faster these days. But at the least, could you please have the thank you popup appear the same way it does when it is just regular data? Then I know I can move on to whatever I need to do in CB.
Thanks

I'm wondering if newspapers could be spun off to their own section, separate from the Magazines section. As I mentioned earlier, I don't want to exclude magazines entirely. I would, however, exclude newspapers if I could.
I can see where tracking all of that stuff in Human Computing's master database might be worthwhile for them, but I doubt many of us want to house a mega-database on our own systems. As ComicBase grows and expands well beyond comics, there may be a need to devise more ways for users to select the portions that meet their needs and exclude those that don't. I've got plenty of magazines related to comics and entertainment, but I don't need a newspaper index. I've got plenty of books, but I don't need an index of romance paperbacks or theological volumes.I second this, if for the only reason that a newspapers database would potentially be larger than all other media combined. Think about, every city has had at least one newspaper at one time or another. Some of the larger cities had multiple ones concurrently and have a publishing history of hundreds of years, daily and weekly.

It's been 2 months and this has not been fixed. I'm posting a new entry just as a reminder.
-
I kept doing the updates and it stayed as a sketch. I uninstalled before the latest update and it switched. So there you go.

They are pre-code horror comic stories collected/reprinted from different publishers/titles. The book also includes a mini-DVD with a film from the 50's talking about the "dangers" of comic books.

I was browsing through titles and I noticed this: some (I don't know how many) of the Italian comic books don't have the cover price currency listed. When I went to enter the currency using the Quick Change [Ctrl-G], Italian Lira (ITL) is not listed. However, when I went to the cell and clicked the drop-down, it was listed. So what happened and can you fix it? The screenshots I took were from 44 Magnum.
This is CB 2022 4K Archive Edition v22.0.1.1601

I miss the genre icons, mainly because the text was already standardized. I didn't have to worry about Nonfiction/Non-Fiction/Non-fiction, Pinups/Pin-ups/Pin-Ups, or Superheroes/Super-heroes/Super-Heroes.
-
What kind of information do you want to know?
-
Could you please contact the person who keeps submitting this title under Books and let them know this should be under Comic Books? I have resubmitted this many times and have had emails about where this should belong. I do have a copy and I am the one who first submitted data about it.

And now it becomes another reason to update the User's Guide.
-
M.O.M.: Mother of Madness does not have a colon in the title according to the indicia.
-
They may have advertised it to drum up preorders or start demand by having people ask for it at LCS. Not enough demand, so they probably canceled it. Try contacting any of the artists, see what they know.

Whenever I try that I get the 🚫 symbol.

And how long before the mobile app updates?

Could this be why I am missing badges as well as my points not showing/updated?
This week's update error, but also, no covers?

Not the software update, but the content update. Here is my update checklist and the error message I keep getting. And still no new covers.
