Virtual Comicon April 14-15 Discussion Thread

[Ze-man]

Why does this feel like a Conventions Friday night dealer preview, except there are no books being sold. Or are they?

 

I fear a stampede tomorrow when the gates open of biblical proportions. Should be a very fun slam dance once the bell sounds, as I think there will be a lot more buyers wanting the same books then there were at the first VC.

 

Is biting allowed?

How long can we edit our posts? Are we going to get locked out 48 hours after we first posted? That would be a bummer because we won't be able to edit on Sunday evening.

Very good point, Mike....you're right about the 48-hour editing limit. So Sunday at 5 pm, everything is going to "freeze" as is...

I don't think that is accurate if you keep editing the post. Arch, are you reading this?

This afternoon I was updating a post from Wednesday in my test thread, and a few hours later I couldn't edit it anymore. It looks to me like the rule is "48 hours no matter what". But obviously, I'd be happy to be wrong....

You are correct but I'm sure Arch could change the time frame.

The last thing I need is another place to shop, ..but I'm a little confused...at 6pm tomorrow, if you want something, you have to PM immediately? Nothing before? It's an honor system?

 

I'm very sorry if I sound like a total dummy but I'm just finding my way around...

Yes.. you can only start buying after 6pm tomorrow. You can "preview" until then.

 

We can't keep the thread hidden until then (or restrict access to the public like at a real comic convention)... so an honor system like this is the best alternative.

It's OK, I grew up with the one day sales at Macy*s.....I get the picture....thanks for the explanation, I'll get my sneakers ready..

To those of you with booths on the later pages in the thread, I wouldn't panic. We're all such obsessives that I'm sure we're going to browse everything...plus, a good many of us with booths will probably be hanging around most of those 12 hours with not much to do besides browsing the other wares...

Is this thread open to those just wanting to window shop?

I've noticed some people posting more than eight thumbnails across. After eight of them they start running off the screen and it makes it more difficult to view the entire page.

 

Mike

 

Yeah, page 4 appears to go clear across the convention floor...

High BZ:) I may have to spend most of the time admiring the books on your thread, it will save me a fortune...

I think page one is even worse. I have a 17 inch monitor and the screen stretches on and on to the right.

 

Didn't we establish a 6 thumbnail across rule last time?

17 inches are for chumps...unless we are discussing something else

I'll be scanning tonight...

 

came home from work.....last man standing on page 7

 

I was pulling some fun books last night...some I hadn't seen in years, that were tucked away...

 

that's more fun than selling

[rjpb]

Any one else having issues with editing their posts - now when I preview my changes - the url code for the thumbnails shows up inbetween the images

 

It was going fine at first.
