I have gotten a few other reports of this happening, but I could never reproduce. Might be just happening for users from the U.S. since the server (and myself) are in EU. I need to look closer a this...

I don't envy you Sebi. Has the DB at least behaved through the upgrades? Many a weekend have I spent babying a DB that decided to throw tantrums....

Not sure, I did not yet deploy the changes on live. big_smile

I'll make a post in announcements when I'm sure about the deploy.

My main concern is still with ease of identification when scanning lists of cards (whether in trades or one's own inventory). Most other card identifiers are easier to identify at a glance.

You are right, this might be a considerable issue. I'm just still apprehensive a bit about adding another user-settable flag for those (not completely sure why... just feels a bit not right). I feel it might lead to people just misusing the flag, marking stuff etched foil when the card does not have such a printing, then adding it to trades, etc...

Regarding proxies, that one is easier, it does indeed need a flag, and special handling for pricing calculation. On the list.

I think sebi is MIA currently, no update since april sad

Sadly we are missing the new secret lair and more

Still here, just not vocal big_smile.

Working on some infrastructure updates, bringing the backend framework updated to current-day versions. Db updates and other info was waiting for this stuff, which as usual way exceeded the initial estimation smile.

Regarding the flags meldon44, I'm currently leaning in favor of what scryfall is doing, making the collector numbers strings instead of integers and adding those printings in parallel. I think that might be the cleanest way...

Back up now. thanks for reporting the issues guys. I'm keeping an eye on the situation, and trying to find out what caused the db problems in the first place.

Sorry about that guys, a memory leak and crash on the db then the appserver did not properly reconnect after restart. All good now.

I personally think just implementing another flag would not only be the most accurate, but also the most clear. When scanning through a list of cards, it would be a lot easier to tell a card is etched by seeing a special icon than by having to hover over the edition icon to see that the edition's name includes "etched".

I really don't understand why they would print these with the same collector number... very annoying of them big_smile.

Your solution sounds good in principle but adding it as a flag has the confusing problem that people could just mark any printing as "etched", regardless if it exists or not. Having it as a separate edition would be easier to have it be "consistent with reality".

I agree about there being too many editions, I think there's already too many and with how many promos Wotc is printing it's clear whatever we do with etched, this is going to be a problem regardless... So in principle I'm leaning towards a separate edition, although I don't really like it...

* Imported tokens for Challenger Decks 2021
* moved the Metallic Sliver to its own card. (Wizards seems to more and more often print tokens with the same name as an existing card...)
* imported Kaldheim foil double sided tokens (I thought I had already imported these a month ago but it seems they were prepared but the script was not run sad)
* Imported Promo Pack: Kaldheim

Many thanks to everybody who reported them missing or sent links / info on the cards, I do read all the messages (also on the forum) although I don't always respond.

Still missing, to come in a couple of days: Strixhaven tokens, double sided, C21 double sided, The List (for strixhaven).

Imported a couple missing sets and cards today, as per the title.

I think we're missing a lot of double-sided tokens for Commander Legends too, I see that tcgplayer has many listed, we only have 5 or so. Will look into that too tomorrow.

Underneath the trade listing on the page there should be a chat "window"/panel visible.

Should be again working now, right?

I think it would behave like the trades behave now, which is that it only "applies" changes to inventories/wishlists when accepted, not when proposed.

I like the idea, I often want to discuss conditions and verify quantities before purchasing, so it makes sense to have a way to communicate with the seller before paying. My only suggestion is that it should be the default for everyone, not opt-in

Communicating is already possible, there is a "discuss with seller" button that makes the order visible to the seller before it's completed and paid for, and can be discussed smile

For the price issue, I am working on bringing back multiple pricing sources, cardmarket for EU folks, tcgplayer and card kingdom for USD prices.

No problem. It was admittedly a wall of text (an issue I tend to have.....).

And i'm reading things diagonally hoping my brain will focus on the important bits (an issue I tend to have... big_smile).

Will users be able to propose money trades to non-sellers, and when that other user tries to move forward with the trade, they'll be prompted to create the seller account? Or will users only be able to propose money trades to already established sellers?

I didn't think too much about the ui&flow yet, but just as an initial idea: you'd just make a trade as you can now, and at the bottom of the card list you can add an "Extra sum to be paid <sum><currency>", that can be edited by both parties as if it were an "extra card" or something like that. If the person that is to receive that sum wants to accept the trade and does not have a seller account he will first be offered a button to go create one before he can accept (or propose).

Pinging this thread too to say there's a new conversation going on in the latest thread in "Announcements", for whoever still receives notifications from this thread.

Regarding this, I wanted to ask if the numbers are of your own preference, or something that is "standard" in the market? I already have a similar formula that is used when you open the "collection value", but I want to add a new optional column in general listings to show the "adjusted" price of a card based on the formula. The numbers I use now are slightly lower than yours: 0.85;0.7;0.5,0.25.
