Meanwhile...at Manage Comics Manage Comics

This week we talk about the major changes that happened to Manage Comics, how it was nearly the week that broke Brian, and how we're now more powerful than ever before. Plus we talk about the Metadata Working Group meeting which will be happening on Thursday, April 13, at 4:30pm ET/1:30pm PT. Reach out to Katie at Books With Pictures if you want to be involved. Brian also went on a bit of a rant about the Negative YouTube army who loves to crap all over comics, and how we shouldn't give them any oxygen because they're a terrible influence who thrives off of their ridiculous theory that "Comics Shouldn't be Political", which is ignorant of comics as a whole. --- Housekeeping: Listen to the Meanwhile...at Manage Comics podcast at https://rss.com/podcasts/managecomics/ or wherever you get your podcasts.

We're going to do something a little different this week, and it's something we think can benefit you any time that you need assistance.
Getting good support is hard, and often time is of the essence.
We've broken down our usual first responses into some tips that we use in our own support triage when dealing with other companies, and as a power user, it makes dealing with companies like my internet or cell phone provider much, much easier.
We've got 5 tips that will make any support request easier.
Give Specific Information (including any files you may have used)
Give the steps to reproduce an error
Tell us what you've tried to do to fix it
Take screen shots (or better yet, video)
Include your name, store, and Shopify URL
Plus we talk about some specific examples, discuss what's coming up, and so much more!
