I (and future readers) appreciate all the work you guys have been doing to rebuild the lost files. However is there any way for us to know when "new" books are put up? I'd hate to miss any but it would take forever to cross index all the books I already have as old ones are reposted.

For now, the only way is in a thread...in the future I can label new files in a separate thread just for new files.

Its not perfect I admit.

[narfstar]

We appreciate your efforts to keep us from getting further behind

[builderboy]

Awesome efforts by all!  I have been watching the last Zog directory slowly fill with comic goodness, but don't have a way to know when it has finished. Zog had said it would take a week (give or take), and it has been that, so I will PM him to make sure. 

I am still sorting files on the FTP site, mass uploading in small batches.  As boox said, some of my early work to get things back onto the site has created some clean-up work.  Here is my call to action:

Mods who are capable of editing files in our RW::Admin control panel,  please start combing the title folders, on the look-out for the following:

If our naming convention is not consistent in the folder, then the issues don't sort properly.  Here is what I have been using for naming conventions so far:

[Title] ### [F] c2c xxp

where:
- [title] is the consistent use of the title name,
- ### is the issue number (if the majority of the books listed have two-digit numbers, the make sure that all are two-digit numbers),
- [F] is if the book is a fiche copy (you don't have to use this syntax, but we do want to designate...preferably consistently...when a scan is fiche...or if it is fiche + paper. If just paper, no designation is needed),
- c2c if it is a cover-to-cover scan, and
- XXp is the page count, if such is provided.

One more convention: on some titles there is more than one series in a folder (like a vol 1, vol 2), and in order for those books to sort correctly, I have been doing this:

Science Comic (1947) 005
Science Comic (1952) 001

where the year is the series to which the issue belongs. See Fox's All Great Comics for an example if you need.

I don't want to dictate how to do this, but we need some consistency, so the site will be easier to comprehend to users. If anyone wants to propose a different standard, we should set that out now, so we don't have to double back.  Please...chime in here...anyone?....anyone?

Once this is settled, though, if each able-bodied editor could pick a title and groom it for consistency, then we can more easily browse our holdings to make sure we are complete.

[narfstar]

Sounds good as long as we are consistent. I like to check and see if we have a file I keep the same format to get good sorting. I know that I mess some up because I get tired after awhile

[builderboy]

update on the Zog front:

I did not PM him yet, as I thought I would try to get a sense of what is happening in the mysterious "Do Not Touch" folder.  It has been loading alphabetically, and since this morning, some 40-odd files have filled in, getting us into the "L" territory. So, to summarize, it is coming slower than anticipated, but still coming strong.  Zog, if you're out there brother, THANK YOU!

Much more reconstruction to come!

BTW, I had been perplexed by the disappearance of all forum avatars some months ago, but then saw a couple just yesterday, DCM's Geo and his little ink-bottle head.  I located my avatar art work and tried to reinstate it via upload...no luck there; then tried it by posting a link to a photobucket location....VOILA! My Fletcher Hanks Super Wizard is back, laying the smack-down, Baby! POW!

[Geo (R.I.P.)]

That's weird Builder as I didn't do anything on my personnel icon to get it back, but it's linked off site. Maybe that's why.

Geo

PS: Thanks goes out to Boox for the help, I got them and all. Any time you need some help I'll sure try to do the same for you if I can.

thanks for keeping the new stuff coming Boox. It is slow going for me on the old stuff. I hit chunks at a time. Last night I downloaded some .rw files to find out the names then renamed them. Nothing new added to the site. Sometime along the way builderboy will take those renamed files and move them to their proper location to their company folder and they will end up back onsite. As long as you keep the new stuff coming I guess the older stuff will not be as in dire need while we work at getting it up.

Narf, I will definitely have more up soon...most likely later this evening. I intend to jump in and get some more file-name editing done on the download site also. I've just been dealing with end of the semester demands and family matters -- a nice span of time is about to become available on my end (other than dissertation toils) so I will do my part to help us get up to snuff.

B.

[narfstar]

You have been doing your part keeping up with the new stuff. I scanned Master Comics 42 and Mystery Men 11 today and they are uploading. With everything I have not had time for the JVJ books so I felt I needed to make some headway
