O_o do we have any rpging Mods? I mean don't get me wrong it's not like we need them, i was just wondering.

Well, there's Icarusflies I think...she does a lot so I'm not sure what she's up to now...or if Portrait has appeared in a little bit...

Yep, I keep an eye on the RPG section, and do RP…though usually more with one of my various alts than with this profile. Portrait's been on the backburner though. Which she would hate with her pyrophobia, but whatever. >_>

yeah, wasn't sure about portrait as I hadn't seen her around...

I was trying to think of whether any of the other mods RP...Huntress said Gambler, but I couldn't think of anyone else...

Thanks for the thread!

Is there a how-to on how to add a new volume of a work by a creator? I have an independent comic I'd like to review, and there's an issue of it on the wiki, but this volume collects that issue and several others, and should have its own entry.

@thecomicscove: What's the volume?

Wao..........

Its cool and hard comics.

I like it. Thanks for the information.

How does one become a moderator @ comicvine? What does it take?

@RazzaTazz: Nice. I had forgotten I even asked! :D

You have to participate in roundtables. If you do you are 100% guaranteed to make mod (disclaimer: this statement does not constitute a guarantee)

GMan used to say "one does not ask to become a mod," and then he's blow magic pixie dust in your face

@inferiorego: Its kind of a Shirley Jackson type of scenario anyway isn't it?

yes

I have a question............

if i upload an image of a group of characters (such as idk a picture of the avengers or the x-men) and as i'm adding it to all the included characters galleries.....cap, thor, etc. and then when i get to say idk black knight and it turns out that someone has already uploaded that image in his gallery but not linked to any of the other characters in the image or even the avengers page...what should i do? because i know its against the rules to upload duplicate images but i've just wasted like 5 minutes doing something the original uploader couldn't be bothered to do...i hate to sound arrogant but imo my image should be favored over the old unlinked one...not that id delete images (i HATE when people do that with my images)....but like what should i do?

@X35: when in doubt don't add it? not having an image on the site doesn't harm anything so it is always better to err on the side of caution.

It's cause of the vagueness of the rules and uses of the gallery that I don't add images to galleries 99% of the time but at the same time I've never found them as necessary as a lot of people here. I never even look at them unless I land on a wiki page without a default image and when I can I'll add one but I only do that cause it bugs me when pages don't have a default.

yeah then you must need to update it

How do I add an entirely new wiki page? I found a TPB that doesn't exist on CV, and would like to add it.

@cbishop: Through the site FAQ is usually how I go about it. It is about halfway down the page.

@RazzaTazz: Thanks. I had posted the same question in another thread, deleted it to post over here, but then it somehow stayed on the first thread, where Billy Batson answered me. This is maybe a step or two less though. :)

having a minor display issue with a list (as if my other complain about the display issues with list wasn't enough!)

i'm trying to include an image on the description field at the top and well, it keeps going left aligned regardless of what I set it as or the size (yes even "large" when it automatially goes center)

i'll probably have to screw around with the code a bit but an anyone help?

@X35: weird...

Just tested this on one of mine. The only solution I have is to have some sort of text above that (it has to be about 2-3 sentence give or take) and it doesn't do it...

@The Poet: http://www.comicvine.com/myvine/x35/the-avengers-by-john-byrne/75-39881/

no such luck for me

@X35: maybe it's the size of the image. Some images start out smaller and don't/can't do the same things as larger images...

test:

John Byrne's run as a writer and artist on Earth's Mightiest saw several important things happening: the truth about Scarlet Witch's children revealed, the dismantling of the Vision, the Acts of Vengeance crossover, and the classic Dark Scarlet Witch Saga. Not only that but the run also saw several new and key players join the team: Spider-Man, US Agent, Sersi, the Human Torch and the debut of the Great Lakes Avengers! After an abrupt ending due to one of Byrne's trademark temper tantrums, Fabian Nicieza and Roy Thomas had to wrap up Byrne's major storylines across four issues creating less-than-stellar conclusions.

yup works fine here, 'tis just the dumb lists no doubt

@X35: hmm....

I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this but is it possible to flag lists? I couldn't see a button anywhere...

@guttridgeb: no option for it so just report it to a mod via PM.

Is there a way to add a comic to a list from the comic's page?

@etragedy: not currently no, currently lists can only be updated from the list itself but as of a few hours ago lists could not be saved in chrome, firefox or IE so they are just kinda dead in the water right now.

@pikahyper: O.K., thanks

@etragedy: np, I'm sure it is being worked on so hopefully it will be back up in a day or two and I'm hoping even more for the list system to be rehauled and the buttons to be added back to pages so the system is as good as it used to be.

Is there a way to set it where I won't see anything posted in the Battle forum? I can't think of a time I didn't *sigh* and regret posting in one of those threads.

I'm proud to say I'm able to update this finally (long story...)

I'm sad to archive:

Sara (Babs) for interviews

as she was the one who apointed me as a mod...

also for possible future reference if tasks ever come back: Aztek the Lost’s The Task System!

Quick question...has the site gone through some changes regarding Wiki History?

My wiki points are all there, but my profile page no longer shows my top edits...well, it does, but from like a few weeks ago.

Not a big issue, but something I noticed.

@sinestro_gl: there was some kind of outage I dunno if it is for the same thing you are describing though, if it is the same there is supposed to be a restoration at the end of the business week.

I thought about adding a new volume ,(the german reprint of Marvel Crossover published by Panini) but I only own Issue #60 and now I'm not sure, if I still can add a new volume even if I can't include #1 - #59.

@emh_bruce: of course you can, just don't add a default image for the volume unless you can find the cover for #1 in a small size. You sure that volume doesn't already exist though? sounds familiar.

@pikahyper: Ok =)

It exist two other Marvel Crossover Volumes (this and this), but they are the italian Panini reprints, not the german one.

@emh_bruce: sounds good then.

I'm a bit confused with a solicit in a Issue I just uploaded. (Die Avengers TV Comic #1) the solicit says: Reprints: Marvel Universe Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes No. 1, (which would be this one) but that can't be right, because when I compared the included comics, I noticed: Marvel Universe Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes Digest #1 only collects Issues #1-4 of Marvel Universe Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but Die Avengers TV Comic #1 collects Issues #1-5.

Should I now write what stands in the solicit, or what it really includes?

@emh_bruce: Just write up what you see in the comic.

@mercy_: @razzatazz: @the_poet: @pikahyper: how do you go about changing a character's first appearance? Tim Drake's is listed as Wonder Woman #8 from 1987 and should be Batman #436
