Poztron:
Alright, I'm finally getting off my butt and have done a paper scan of Eh! #6, a Charlton 1954 imitation of Mad comics. I'll be uploading it as soon as I wade through the procedural details. I think it came out pretty decent, though a few of the pages are slightly tilted, mainly because the stapling and trimming on the copy I have were so out of whack and non-square.

I also have several other titles that I don't see on the site. A couple of Avon titles and some Prize Black Magics. I'll see if I can get to those when I have more time. Just doing this issue has nearly gobbled up a weekend, which just increases my admiration and gratitude to the other scanners who have done so much.

Oh, and if I can get VIP status, I guess that would allow me to FTP future files.  Thanks.

Yoc:
Thanks Poztron,
I just looked at your upload.  The scans are fine but you've got a common problem among Mac users that the file contains a 'Mac_os' folder that prevents CDisplay from starting.  This seems to be a common problem for Mac users when making a ZIP file.

moondood had the same problem at first.  Then he had this to say which solved the problem -

If you need more info on what MD did you can send him a Private Message and see what help he can give you.

I've removed the file and also renamed your FC and IFC files to 'Eh-06-00' so they appear at the start of the file when reading with CDisplay.

Yes, FTP info can be passed along but could I ask you to Please continue to upload via the site's link?  For single books it makes life a lot easier on the mods and admin.  Now if your net connection is via dial-up (or you are uploading multiple files) using FTP might be an advantage as it does allow you to resume broken uploads but if you are on high-speed if it's all the same with you we'd appreciate people using the upload link when they can.

I'll re-upload your file again with the corrections so no worries on Eh6.

Thanks again!

Poztron:
Yoc,

Thanks loads for correcting the problems and thanks for re-uploading my file with the corrections. This is a learning process and I'm paying attention to how I can make it better.

I just need to figure out the Mac/RAR compressor that moondood used. I'll PM if necessary.

Yoc:
Not a problem at all Poztron.
I'm sure by your next upload you'll have it sorted.  Don't be afraid to contact 'moondood' either, he's good people.
:)

Please let me know how it works out.  Push comes to shove I can always correct your next books and upload it again but I know you'd rather do things properly on your own right?

Take care,
-Yoc

Eh?  Is that a Canadian comic book?? ;-)
