Contributing to Viz Comics sticky

I've got issue 201 (Christmas 2010) sitting here and wondered how I could go about scanning it in to add to the thread? Have got a bunch of other issues stacked away at a friend's house which, if missing, I'll also be more than happy to contribute

EDIT -> Some of the missing comics are on eBay from £1-£3 and I am happy to buy a few / scan them in to say thanks for the excellent collection so far!

If you've not scanned anything before then it will take a good bit of practice.

There's a thread in the tech-help section about how I do it.

It's always interesting to learn something new so I'll search out the thread and have a go thanks. If it all goes well then I shall buy some of the comics from eBay and scan them in. I noticed a few hiccups whilst working through the sticky:

[*] Dead links at time of downloading: Issue 39, 50, 51, 56;
[*] Mis-linked issues: 43 links to 44 and 44 links to 43;
[*] Problematic: Issue 66 loops to Processing Download when Download clicked, though managed to find (a faceless!) copy on USENET.

I made the post a sticky, so it's easy to find.

I'm not keen on posting the more recent issues though - they're still making money on them and that's always asking for trouble.

thanks for the info about the errors - it seems that mediafire have messed things up, so I'll redo them tomorrow.

I've only ever seen Viz scans that were half decent from maybe one or two people.

ok, that's them sorted. If you want to talk about any more details, please send a pm or ask in the tech-help section.
