Book of the Day glitches? (covers-related)

[EarthFurst]

Should issues with no cover uploaded be included in the comicbookdb mainpage Book of the Day section?

One of the issues included in Book of the Day section has no cover uploaded.
(Captain America (2005) Omnibus vol. 03 http://www.comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=220108 )

Part of one set of comicbookdb Books of the Day

Some one else mentioned there maybe some odd database changes at that time of night (or day depending on where you are). Chris, could probably speak to this issue better than myself. Issues with no covers should not be in that list though.

It looks like that one came up, because you uploaded the "No cover entered" image as the cover, spid. Presumably to replace a promo image someone else had uploaded.

Ahh, I see it now. I did not even check the issue since it wasn't showing up on my Book of the day listing.

(renamed thread to keep posts about Book of the Day glitches together)

There was a glitch on comicbookdb mainpage. Brimstone #4 appeared twice at the same time (as an Indy Book of the Day
AND an IDW/Image/Dark Horse Book of the Day)

For some reason the User Rating was different, but both covers linked to the same issue ( http://www.comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=233818 ).

I noticed that too. There was another issue pictured for Indy Book of the Day earlier in the day, and I expect the rating of 7 was for whatever that issue was. Later in the day, the Brimstone dupe appeared with a bit of error code right above all the thumbnails.

A "Marvel Comics UK (Panini UK)" comic (see footnote) is showing as the "Recent Indy Book of the Day".

Should "Marvel Comics UK" comics appear in "DC/Marvel Book of the Day" instead?

footnote: The Marvel Comics UK comic is Avengers Unconquered (2009) - #34 http://www.comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=231365

Panini is longer owned by Marvel, so no, they shouldn't appear under the Marvel/DC lists IMO.

There is a glitch on comicbookdb mainpage. Guardians of the Galaxy (1990) #3 appears twice at the same time
(as a "Past DC/Marvel Book of the Day"
AND a "Past TPB/Hardcover of the Day")

Not sure why it is a "TPB/Hardcover of the Day", since the issue webpage says the published format is "Standard Comic Issue".

For some reason the User Rating is different, but both covers link to the same issue ( http://www.comicbookdb.com/issue.php?ID=29429 ).

Looks like the same error as the one you reported in November. Didn't catch this one to investigate before the day was over though.
