I tried.  I hate it.  I missed all the things I bought to sell and didn't keep myself.

Jump in.  The water is fine.  Only good things come from this.

My favorite time of the year.  And for my Canadian and British friends, It's my favourite time of the year.

Spot on Mark. After a few unsuccessful attempts at accessing the forum via my browser's bookmark, I tried the main CGC site and found that was working. I then clicked on the forum link from there and found that was working. Whenever things go wrong, you just try all the usual tricks and sooner or later you're back in.

It's a shame that a great many people probably assumed the error message meant that the upgrade was still running, or was problematic. The site has been down for 48 hours before, so it would be reasonable to make that assumption.

Invision lead the change I believe, so maybe our admin guys didn't know that was what would be happening. Most members didn't read Dena's announcement thread anyway, so most wouldn't have even known the update was due. It probably wasn't a good idea to sticky it to the top of CG as many members don't visit that forum and even those that do would likely have missed it, as they are used to skimming past the largely redundant, now familiar stickies at the top.

Maybe the announcement section would have been a better location, as that is visible from the main page, or even a moving banner message which is possible here (Scott did it when the journals migrated). Everyone saw that.

Anyway, everyone will find their way back eventually, in various states of indignancy, and then it will just be a case of whether the upgrade worked, and the 500 errors have been banished 

I would suspect that those, like me, who had the boards bookmarked and went to the old address and saw that there was a 502 error, most will chalk it up to "the boards are down again"

Out of pure curiosity I went to the main cgc page and tried the "chat boards" link. 

@denaI think there should be a redirect to the new URL from the old one so members have a chance to change their bookmarks.  Otherwise they'll just get a 502 error.

Recognise this fan-favourite Star Wars character? 

 

That's right, don't be fooled, it's not a photo, but it is indeed Samuel L Jackson as Mace Windu. 

If it were Sam L Jackson's Mace Windu, then the dialogue would have gone like this: "Hold your fire, men! Hold your mother f*(^$#@^# fire!"

ComicLinks provider as well

That site is best viewed with NCSA Mosaic.

One last bump.  You'll kick yourself in the future for not snagging it at this price. 

Yeah, that and the moderation is going to the dogs.  I got a listing pulled because I didn't state my return policy.  Easy solution - just drop a note or comment like many members do that there's something missing.  The thing is that it's been a boilerplate I've used for years and now it's a problem.  I think I've received more warnings/strikes over the last 6-8 months than I've had over the last almost 15 years.  I sometimes wonder if these boards are being outsourced abroad and the people who are now managing it just don't get how to keep a board humming along.

There's 65 total in the census of this edition but 23 SS.  With how actors are charging these days, can you imagine the small fortune it would cost these days to get all these people (11 in total) to get it signed and witnessed?

The first episode did not disappoint - great animation, too.  In fact I would love to see that story arc expand and extend to a full on series, to be honest.  

This is the one at Pike's Place.  They sold me a Spidey 90 something with married cover and everything was overpriced already 15 years ago.  Nice place to go for tourists, not really for collectors.  Story has it that back in the day the owner of that place saw the potential of AF15 and ASM 1 and would offer $1 for each back in the late 60s early 70s.  He had a stack of each a couple of feet high on his counter and cashed in at some point.

If it lasts for more than 4 hours he should seek medical attention.

Stay away from the cheese.

I pre ordered the Stan Lee deluxe from Iron Studios a year ago and it showed up today.  A nice piece for the price although it was smaller than I had envisioned.

I have no idea what that sketch is.  Is that Wolverine's armpit or what?

No wonder he was always so grumpy.

Probably due to what he ate.

I was hoping it would be another case of “Florida Man,” but no, it just had to be a hometown scenario. I should have known as soon as I started laughing. 

"Florida Man" and "Texas Man" are hard to distinguish these days.
