Hello forummensae,
Nice idea that top 100… they have had one in Germany for a number of years too:
http://www.top100comics.de/comicvoting_internat ...
Maybe a guide?

That's a good point, yes. I hadn't thought of that yet. This works because of series transcending album series such as Collection Young Europe, Free Flight, etc. Indeed, it seems to me a good solution to use “[series name / hero] Main series SC or HC” by default. For new users it is useful that there is main series instead of HR, which is not an established concept in contrast to SC and HC. Agree?

Yes? Why do you think? I think album series will no longer be visible with the series but they are still in the database.

Isabelle and the Monster and The Nest of the Marsupilamis are mainly in that place because of the impression they made on me when I first read them. Maybe there are better Tardi (Trench Warfare?) Or Franquin (QRN?) Albums if you organize a Top-100 election but these are my personal favorites.

Yes, that's a nice idea. We could offer the option to vote on an item. We will work out a little further.

By assigning eg main series sc, preferably with the name of the series (perhaps we have to work with abbreviations (franka HR SC )) you prevent this if click on your main series in the start menu that you will see the main series of all series.
Do we have to define what the main series is exactly.

Hello deblouw,
In principle, if you publish something for an audience, you can call yourself a publisher, whether you own a company or not. Self-management just means that you do everything yourself instead of outsourcing it to a commercial publisher.
Greetings,
René Visser

Hi rene,
I have the impression that empty album ranges disappear immediately if they are empty.
Collection areas and misspelled names persist.

Hi René and other forum folks,
In any case, it seems good that there is a little more gradation in grading. In any case: Excellent (new condition), Good (certain number of minor errors), Fair (can be seen that it has been read reasonably), Fair (adhesive tape, staples).
I also thought about Bad (has all damage that you can think of)… this category should only be important for old, rare comics. In any case, the comics from after the 1970s (Classic period), if they have Bad as a characteristic, are immediately sent to the waste paper.
But… these are my thoughts. What do you think?
Greetings,
René

I have to think about the first one. In itself a good idea, but if data such as pseudonyms are linked to a collection area, then we have lost it 2nd point: an administrator will soon be able to change that in 1 place. All album series as entered in albums will then automatically change. The database is set up completely dynamically in that regard.

Phew, I just can't figure it out. But Tintin in Tibet and the Yellow sign are some kind of "bohemian rhapsody" that are brilliant.
Maybe you can think of a nice application to generate some sort of top 100 of all time.

I strongly agree, I wanted to enter my Tintin facsimiles and was searching for the correct versions. Well, I can do my best a bit better, but still…

It would help in cleaning if empty staging areas automatically disappear. Is this functionality coming?
Furthermore, can administrators also edit "bulk" names? Then you can easily rename the series of multiple albums.

In some cases the series themselves already have a name, such as “the funniest adventures” by o.i.d. I also see that the publisher name is frequently used as a series name. It is especially messy when there are many different loose, special editions, as is the case with Donald Duck. But don't know if anything can really be done about it ...

I still go to comic shows and I am a Disney fanatic. I saw them in Houten last week-end from € 5.00 to € 15.00. Differs per seller and on which exchange you are. The maternity rent will probably also play a role in this.

This seems like a nice solution in itself. But it is still disturbing that there are 2 versions of the same book in it. In some cases you will now see 3 or 4 books with the same cover within a series, if there are also reprints in addition to an HC version. Somewhere I would rather see those different versions of a book in an underlying page, so that when you see a series overview you just see a neat chronological numbering.

In recent years I have always asked for 5 euros for Dagobert at comic fairs. They went off pretty well for that. Also tried to ask for more but that didn't work out. I have indeed seen that more was asked for songs in the 50's (early years), but I never got that for it. But I have to say that I haven't been at a comic book fair in a year, so I don't have a very recent experience.

The problem with viewing many series in a photo gallery is that it seems that there are double albums in it, while they are two different versions with the same cover: a Soft Cover and Hard Cover version.
Now to fix this sometimes “HC” is entered in the number addition field. This does not seem such a good solution to me because it is then entered twice that it concerns an HC.
What I want to do is if it says in the Cover field that it is an HC show this in the photo gallery after the number of the album in the album series. So eg “(7 HC)” or “(7 b HC)”.
Do you think this is a good solution?

Choosing logical album series names (subseries within a series) is another weak point in many series. It is important to standardize this. Does anyone have any good ideas about this? I personally think that we should at least use the name “Main series” for series where there is no discussion about the main series. This can possibly be further specified in “Main series SC” and “Main series HC” if they are issued in two versions.
Other names that we can use generically?

Something anyone can do is cleaning up album series. Logical album series within a series is another weak point in the catalog. You can always change an album series to another name. Once you have given an album a new album series name, you can choose that name from the dropdown on the other albums by typing a part of the name. This way you make them uniform and I can remove any remaining “empty” album series.
For example, Jilles has created within Franka the “Main series sc” which immediately shows the normal softcover series. And Ruh has completely cleaned up the chaos with the album series within Agent 327 around publishers L and M in this way. Tribute!

There are still plenty of errors in the catalog indeed. Series or authors that need to be merged because they are written slightly differently, names with a small mistake in them, empty staging areas to be cleaned up, items to be deleted etc.
The problem is that Marco and I are the only ones who can do this. Disconnecting the management functions from our entire admin system, for the benefit of the administrators, takes a bit more time than planned. We expect this to be possible early next week. Then many more people can get started with the cleaning.
A place where all substantive errors in the comic catalog are reported seems a good plan. Indeed, let's devote this topic to that.
By the way, the problem you mentioned has now been solved. I have moved the image and description from nr.0 in Strip Nieuws to StripNieuws. And Strip News then removed. Thanks for signaling!

Well done Jilles. Good to know that you can do that too, always handy :-)
And the condition of your own book does not belong in the catalog, but in the Notes field in your own collection.

Yes, it is indeed already possible to make a distinction within the series by including the language in the album series. As Jilles has already shown well with the Indian series indeed. It is less beautiful at Bommel where something similar has been done, but then all foreign ones together in the album series “Foreign releases”.
The disadvantage is that you have to save 2x the language: 1x in the album series name and 1x in the language field. We should actually prevent that. So make a selection option based on the language field. Let me think about it for a moment.

Chips fall where minced meat is used. Could this be the place where beauty flaws can be reported?
To start right away: there is an entrance StripNieuws with all magazines of that name and an entrance Strip Nieuws (note the space) with only number 0 of this magazine.
If there is another place where this can be reported, please let me know.
Jan

I removed that. Quality stories belong in the description to books in your own collection. Maybe the importer got lost for a while.
