Scott, not sure if you have tried this but, Go to the CB website and, in you account, change your password.
I think the badges are tied to your logon id (as opposed to a database). If badges are not being updated, it can't 'find' you (so to speak).
Not sure how many Items you have entered into your database but there are badges for inventory levels of 125, 200, 500, 1,000, 5,000, 10,000, and 50,000 issues.

When entering Books into CB the Binding Type needs to be considered.
For this post, I am only addressing MMPB (Mass Market Paperback) and TPB (Paperback) in the United States.
NOTE: HC should have used Trade Paperback instead of just Paperback in the drop-down box to be less of a problem.MMPB are smaller in size. Generally around 4.25 x 6.75 inches.
TPB are larger. Around 5.5 x 8.5 or 6 x 9 or even 8.5 x 11 inches.
Most of what most people thing of as Paperback books are MMPB.
Go to any drug store of grocery and just about all the softcover books you see are MMPB.TPB are have better quality paper and are printed with a larger type-face. They are generally sold in Book Stores.
When enter books, check the size and use the correct Binding Type. This will help by not having to get these renamed later.
For example: The Avenger (Warner) has all the books in the series listed as TPB. They are not. They are MMPB and will all need to be renamed.

See if the steps in this post helps:

For the second one, Batman: The Killing Joke (Titan), is a novel. (you can use the Look Inside feature at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GGL3FSF/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1.
As for The Essential Conan, I had considered the near identical name with Essential Conan (and I double checked that it is just Essential Conan in the indicia). I decided against adding Publisher to the Title because it was a different name, it is in a different section (Books vs. Comics), and the covers for both are available. This should remove any confusion. At least that was my thought process. However, If the editors at HC want to add the Publisher to the name, I would have no problem with that (it was a 60/40 choice on my part).

Currently, there doesn't seem to be any way to create a Book Issue with just the number 1 (nothing else) despite the update adding 1 and 1-2 to The History of Grendel: Devil in Reflection in Books. If you edit one of these issues and try to save it, 'something' will be added as you have to choose a Binding Type and there isn't a 'none' selection.
-
One thing you can try, is to go to the CB website and change your password. It might 'refresh' or clear some cache.
Not sure if this is the same but when the recent Mobile app came out, I could not log in with my correct Userid/Password (similar to you). Changing the password seemed to clear 'something' up as I could then log in to the mobile app.

Using Amazon's 'look inside' feature, Monsters is definitely a Comic Book.
As for the Title, I believe it should just be "Monsters" as it is listed on a Title page.

The movies are short videos on an issue (created a long time ago).
You view them the same way as a digital comic.
Go to the Title/issue and click on the 'play' button (second column from the left in the Grid).
Alternately, you can just go to the Media folder (in the same folder as the Pictures folder) and play them from there, outside of CB.
-
If you are using CB 2017, it would use CBA as the file extension.
When CB was rewritten to CB 2020, the file extension was changed to CBDB.
If you are using CB 2020 or later, if you try to open an older CBA file, it will read it (it won't change it) and create a new CBDB file.

I will only mention that some Item #'s can't have a Cover Date added as only a Year is available.
This shouldn't affect Street Date, however.

There used to be a program someone (Adam Sternberg, I believe) that would find holes in series. I am not sure where it disappeared to when we went to the new forums. It should still work on the new database. If he still has the program, he could post it to this forum under Downloads/ComicBase Tools and Add-Ons.
1) Is there a way to identify, in search terms, titles that have issues?
Yes.
If you just want only the Title names:
Find, Title Field select Title, use Greater Than and type a single space in the search box. Make sure the List Only Titles In Stock check box is checked.
If you want Titles and Item #'s (issues) do the same steps as above but use the Item Field for Title.2) Is it possible to Mark the Titles or set a Title Custom Check on Titles after I do a search for owned issues?
I don't believe there is any way to change Title information (Marked or Custom Fields) all at once. Needs to be done individually.3) Is there a way to search for the first owned issue of each title? The last owned issue of each title?
No.4) Is there a way to search for the first (smallest) regular issue # of each title? the last (largest) regular issue # of each title?
No.For #3 & #4, you can try Advanced Find but the 'stream-lined' version of query in CB doesn't really allow this to be done (would need a Max and Min function with a Group By which is impossible in the CB design).
The Advanced Find is a Item Field only search (with a little bit of finessing, I can get some Title Fields in the Where but I've had 30 years of Database experience that lets me deconstruct the query but it isn't easy.)
For #4, you get into problems trying to define 'Regular' Issue. This could be Issue 1 or Issue 1/A (or 1/HC, Bk 1, etc.)
Just an FYI, if you don't know, but the Item # is a composite of Type, Number, Variation, and Printing. So, instead of doing a Find on Item #, you could do a Find on just the Number part of it. But, you will get multiple items # returned if you have 1, 1/A, HC/1 and Bk 1.
Also, you would have to 'hard-code' the 1 in the Where to get the minimum Item (you would miss any with 0 as an Item #). There would be no real way to hard-code the largest number.Having said all this if you want to export the data and put it in a real database, you could do #3 & #4 with a little work.
-
Try Menu item File Tools->Rebuild LIsts and do at least Series Information. It won't hurt (but take a little longer) to do List of Owned Series, and Item Information. You could also do List of Contributors, storylines and notes.

Not sure if you are asking for a new feature or if you just need it for your database.
You can add your own grades using menu item Setup->Grading...
Then click on the green 'plus' button (top right corner).
Then next window will ask for the Media Type (you can have different grades for Books, Comic Books, and Magazines), Grade (name), Abbreviation, and % of NM.
You will need to repeat the above steps for each grade you want to create.
Hint, get the percent of NM from the other grades before you start.
