Someone on the DC boards pointed out that Takron-Galtos was destroyed in Crisis. It turns out it was shown in Legion of Three Worlds, so it's actually a L3W retcon, not a V6 retcon, and I mentioned it as such.

Wasn't there a Takron-Galtos II at some point? 5YL perhaps?

Apparently, while we were not looking, the Omen and the Prophet storyline just happened off-panel, as this was the occasion on which Blok got his nose blown off.
Or maybe Omen and the Prophet never happened (which would be a blessing) or happened differently, and Blok lost his nose somewhere on Sorcerer's world.

The nose changed in Omen and the Prophet but it wasn't blown off, it was just an art style change and as such doesn't count. Going from that Adventure #4 form back to stone is technically a dangling plot or a retcon, but I doubt it'll be addressed with any more than a throwaway line.

That is using very odd terminology for the series. Most people would treat those as series 2, 3, and 4, not series 1, 2, and 3.

Volume 1 was the four issue reprint series from the 1970's.

One of the idiosyncracies of the Help File is the cmk ignores what is usually labeled as "V1", thus resulting in the numbering confusion.

Added #9 reference to Brande's speech pattern being a new thing. Also the continuing misspelling of Vyrga.
Also added the appearances of Kent Shakespeare and Elna from Superman/Batman #80.
Should I add in the "Brande is Chameleon Boy's mother" question? Although given weird Durlan egg-whatever terminology you can interpret it to mean anything, it read to me like #9 was backing off from that.

Isn't Brande depicted using the wierd 'new' speach pattern in recent issues of Adventure Comics as well? Such as Adventure Comics #516 which depicts the begining of the Legion (yet again)? This would mean that the current statement by Tyroc that it was a recent affectation he started 'a couple of years ago' contradicts the flashback scenes that contradict the original history.

Added from the annual: -- Ayla and Violet -- Sarya is still dead -- Misspelling of Gates' homeworld is fixed -- Orando is back in our dimension -- And a separate section for the board game, since it's so bad for continuity.

Obviously the board game did two things: 1) Lay out a basic timeline and 2) give a wink and a nod to the messy minutia of this new 'Boot (while giving Heart attacks to poor Ken).
I think it's fair to say, with Supergirl's entire induction redone as of the Annual, that Superboy definitively came first now.
You can safely ignore "Suberboy" as inspiration instead of Superman as the exploits of the teen of Steel are now secret.
The Brainy Lab thing's been a running joke across several iterations. It was there for a chuckle and I'm not concerned about it.
I think it meant that Yera was *discovered* after GDS (which is true), also note the space sends you back to warn Gim, to a time frame before/during the GDS, which would be the proper timeframe.
Death of Superboy/Conspiracy obviously still happened some way or another. Any number of theories fit here, but this is explicit recognition of the events not being wiped away completely.
