Scrape does not update information if cvdb tag present

[GoogleCodeExporter]

DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM:
If i scrap a book that has some fields missing on comicvine, and
subsequently try to refresh its information, the script will not update
missing fields if the cvdb tag number is present. If i remove the tag
identifier by deleting tag/notes fields, the scrape will successfully
return all fields.

Basically, it will not refresh information on already scrapped items as
long as a cvdb tag is present. Deleting the tag, and re-scraping, will yeld
correct results.

WHAT STEPS WILL REPRODUCE THIS PROBLEM? (Please include the exact name of
the eComic book that you were trying to scrape, if possible.)
1.I can reproduce this with new issues that are still incomplete in
comicvine. I will post a reply on this topic with a reproducible procedure
tomorrow (not in my lan atm, and comicrack does not stream over the net)

WHAT VERSION OF COMICVINESCRAPER ARE YOU USING?
1.0.16

PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT MAY BE OF USE

I just tried it now:

1) deleted the "month" field from a comic

2) turned on "Overwrite previous" and "unless new values are blank" checkboxes, 
and
made sure all the field checkboxes (top half of the config dialog) were turned 
on too.

3) scraped.  everything seemed to work fine--data was updated.

4) repeated, trying with different data deleted from the comic each time.  No 
problems.

It seems to be working for me, so probably there is some detail that I'm
missing...perhaps a specific issue where it doesn't work?  I took a look at the 
code
for this, and there's no reason to think that the scraper behaves any 
differently
whether it gets the id from the user (i.e. the series and issues selection 
forms) or
from the Tags and Notes fields--the actual updating code is the same either way.

Anyhow, let me know if you're still able to reproduce this bug when you get a 
chance
to try.

I can only reproduce this with very recent comics that are not yet fully 
inserted
into comicvine, so i am not sure when/how fast i can reproduce it or provide a
working example, and then only verify it when the missing information is 
incorporated
into comicvine.

Ignore/close this issue until i can provide such a case please.

Ok, I will close this issue, but please add a comment to it (asking me to 
reopen it)
or just open a new issue anytime you are able to reproduce this bug.

With the number of changes I'm making each release, it is entirely possible 
that I
might have unknowingly fixed the problem while cleaning up some code somewhere.
