Problems with links or scans / Re: New recent files on "Access Violation" list

« Last post by Yoc on December 21, 2024, 12:33:32 PM »

I've seen them on WinXP, Win8.1 and Win11.
I think it's our problem, not yours.

Thanks, Yoc.
Can 'Access Violation' errors also originate in my own computer   I'm using an old unstable operating system (Win7)

Hi Larry,
Yep, DCM doesn't have that 'True Pirates' book on the site.

Those 'access violation' errors aren't specific to any books afaik.  The books you mentioned are working for me.
It's a general system hic-up that still shows up from time to time.

Thanks for reaching out and happy holidays to you,

We suggest trying again later when you see error messages like that or the SMF database error that also happens from time to time.

Thanks for sharing Paw.
Its always very sad when a fellow collector passes on.  But even more when we just never hear from them again.  I'm glad this news was shared with his online communities.

Snard, you are right; I can't find the 'True Pirates' anywhere on DCM.    I probably downloaded it from Comic Book Plus. Sorry. Thanks for the heads up

That was upsetting news. I knew Stevie was in bad health but this was a sudden shock.  Stevie was a regular, respected, knowledgeable contributor to comicbookplus.
He was also an expert on British blues, having been involved in the scene in his younger years, also writing for fanzines. Although we never met, Stevie chatted with me by email.
Not only about comics, but also about our experiences with British blues and R&B.
His passing is a great loss to many.

I attempted to verify the problem with "True Pirates #7" but I can't find a book by that title, either here or in the Grand Comics Database.
