Maximilian:
Hi guys. Nice to be here. I uploaded Crime Must Pay The Penalty 005 from Ace. It didn't seem to make it from the old site. Just like on the old site, I forgot to list the scanner as Vigilante407 - his name is abbreviated in the file name but still, I repeated my omission.

I uploaded this as a .cbr file inside a .zip file. That is the correct way, right?

narfstar:
It depends on what type of file it actually is. If it is a zip file it will not open with many readers unless renamed cbr if it actually a cbr. Here are the changes you can make that are beneficial: Change rar extensions to cbr and change zip extensions to cbz. This makes them readily readable. At one time GAC had a problem excepting cbr (I think) so they were renamed back rar but that is no longer the case. Either way if you misname a file between the r and z formats most readers will not know what to do.

Yoc:
Max, no PLEASE in this case you should have just uploaded the CBR file as is.  Files within files can create problems!
I've added Vigilante's name as you asked.

Please, no more 'easter egg' uploads ok, thanks!

Maximilian:
OK, thanks for the replies. Would you like me to re-upload CMPTP 005 as a .cbr?

I've never understood what rename the file as .cbz or .cbr means. Is there a simple tutorial, with pics, someone can point me to?
I have some other people's scans in files as jpegs and would like them in a .cbr or cbz format.

The FAQ on uploading might need updating
http://digitalcomicmuseum.com/forum/index.php/topic,1810.0.html

from question 11:

 After you've compressed your file into a Zip or Rar file (use Winzip or Winrar) you can rename the file to *.zip or *.CBZ if you like.  We can handle both.  (If one type of file fails on upload for you please try another file type in your file name.  Personally I can't upload a *.CBR files but I can a *.CBZ)

narfstar:
Steps: 1)  Name the jpg containing folder the file name you want
          2)  Right click the folder containing jpgs and choose add to separate archive
          3)  Depending on the program you use what default comes up but choose zip
          4)  A zip file will be created with the same name as the folder.   
          5)  If you are not sure stop here and upload this zip file it will be OK
          6)  If you allow for extensions to be shown ONLY THEN should you right click on the file
and you will see xxxxx.zip go to rename and change the zip to cbz.

Hope that helps
