What is my ComicSpace URL?

Assuming you've signed up and confirmed your membership, simply add your username to the end of www.comicspace.com.

User tags are a way for users to identify their connection to the comics industry. Members may attach up to ten tags to their profile. Tags are browsable from the Tag List page.

Why can't I add my city and state to my user profile?

I'm trying to keep the locations data as accurate and organized as possible, which means assembling a list of states/provinces for each country. When you select your country from the drop down menu on your "Manage Profile" page, three new fields (City/Town, State/Province and Zip/Postal Code) will appear IF there is a state/province list for your country. If you want to help speed things along, you can send me a list of the states/provinces in your country.

How does my friends list work?

You can "befriend" any other user, which allows you to receive that user's bulletins, both public and private. However, you and the user will not appear on each other's friends lists or be able to exchange private messages or comments unless the user befriends you.

To manage your friends list, login to your ComicSpace and click on "Manage Friends" at the bottom of your friends box. You'll see a set of tabs at the top of the page...

• My Friends: The users in this section have befriended you, and you have befriended them. You will receive each other's bulletins, and may exchange private messages and comments.
• My Top List: This is where you manage your top list of friends. You can add up to 50 friends to your top list. Friends added to your top list are displayed on your main ComicSpace page.
• Befriendifications (from me): You have befriended the users in this section, but they have not yet befriended you. You will receive all bulletins posted by these users, but you won't be able to exchange private messages or comments unless they befriend you.
• Befriendifications (from others) : The users in this section have befriended you, but you have not yet befriended them. These users will receive all your bulletins, but you won't be able to exchange private messages or comments unless you befriend them.
• Blocked: You have blocked the users in this section. They cannot befriend you and you cannot befriend them unless you unblock them.
