I negotiated a trade with another user here, we both confirmed, and then realized that we had many more cards to trade. Thus, another trade was opened, cards adjusted, and that trade confirmed. I was planning on just using our first (larger) trade, and deleting the second after we each receive the cards, but my trading partner says it shouldn't matter. I looked at the rules and it doesn't mention anything regarding this issue, but I just wanted to clear it with the moderators/experienced members here first. Any reason we shouldn't just use the 2 trades we have open, rather than deleting one?

Re: Issue importing an MTGO card list (8 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
I've had issues with other MTG related applications when importing card names of different fonts from word. Apostrophes in particular wouldn't be recognized properly, even though they look exactly the same once entered into the application. Perhaps this is a similar problem? Are you copying & pasting the cards, or typing them?

Re: How do you get a price value of a deck? (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
*shrug*
It's not as if that rule is enforceable. I certainly wouldn't advocate using extra account(s) for trading, however. As I understand it, the intent of rule 1.2 is to prevent scamming, as implied by the next rule:
1.3 Even in case the Deckbox staff give permission for a person to have multiple accounts, you are only allowed to use one of them for trading.
Specifying card versions within each decklist would be a more ideal method for this, but that doesn't help in the here-and-now. I was just offering a workable solution... no offense meant!

Re: How do you get a price value of a deck? (9 replies, posted in General Discussion)
The best solution I can think of that's currently available is to make a new account and use the inventory/wishlist to detail specific editions. You'd only be able to list 2 decks per account this way, (1 in inventory, 1 in wishlist) and it's a little bit of a hassle to login for just that, but it works. I agree that it'd be nice to be able to specify edition in decklists.

Re: Request for 'altered art' indicator and other indicators. (7 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
+1
Currently, I use a workaround for the gold-bordered cards that I have listed. I don't have any textless cards, so I marked my gold-bordered ones as textless and made a note about it on my profile.
I couldn't care less about what color border my sleeved cards have, and I have a strict budget, so getting gold-bordered versions of more expensive cards is the only way I'll ever get them, outside of proxying. It'd be nice to be able to look for those specifically, although I understand they don't have a general market value through TCGPlayer.

Re: Change number of inventory rows displayed (2 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
This would be nice to have, especially for the tradelist and wishlist... browsing someones haves/wants is too much of a pain when I have to keep switching between pages. Makes ctrl+f useless too. I ended up creating public decks that just match my wishlist/tradelist so others can more easily search them... though they don't have the usual info. (set, condition, foil, etc)

Re: Request: Ability to navigate using page numbers (1 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
I've navigated to specific pages on my tradelist before, but I did so through modifying the URL. For example, my tradelist URL appears as:
http://deckbox.org/sets/419154?o=d&p=2&s=j
or
http://deckbox.org/sets/419154?p=2
These both show page 2, so all I needed to do was change 'p=2' to 'p=50'. Perhaps this isn't something that's commonly known, but many sites have direct URLs that can be modified in this way.
Perhaps eventually this could be built into the deckbox application, but I don't see it as a particularly necessary tool.

Re: TCG Mid. Questions. (2 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Can you give a more detailed example? I'm not sure what TCGPlayer's formula is for determining their medium prices, but it hasn't appeared especially distorted to me. For orders over $50, I think you tend to get free shipping, which means that any individual card worth that much will probably be more economical if you just buy it at the 'low' price (~$64 for Bob) instead of negotiating a trade with it valued at the medium price. (~$75 for the same card) A similar phenomenon also appears with super low-cost cards. (< $0.10)

Topic: [Request] Option to increase cards per page (0 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Currently, inventory, tradelist, and wishlist pages are divided into pages consisting of a mere 30 cards per page. Decks are displayed in a single page, and can handle 1000s of cards on that page. Many sites allow users to customize how many entries they want to be displayed per page, so users can set an amount that best works for them, considering their specific hardware. Is this something that could be implemented here? I want to be able to view (and allow others to view) all the cards in my wishlist (less than 200) in a single page.

Topic: Trade Feedback for Non-Trades (3 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
Why can we leave feedback for people that we haven't traded with? Apparently, you can start a trade with someone and then cancel it, and still be able to leave feedback. It seems to me that this allows people to artificially heighten their feedback scores to any level, which essentially makes the feedback score system worthless. Imagine someone with 200+ positive feedback that requests you to send first, then disappears without sending 'your' cards from the trade. This is a serious flaw and should be changed ASAP.

Different colors/styles would much more easily distinguish different conditions. As it is, I also have to mouse-over the star to determine what it means.

Topic: [Request] Automated Set Correction (1 replies, posted in Site Discussion)
As someone who's recently started importing their collection into deckbox.org from excel, I must say that it is a pain. As I'm sure the creators here realize that allowing other importing options (from .xsl files, for example) would help alleviate this, let me make another suggestion:
For cards that have only ever been printed as a single version from a single set, automatically 'correct' their details to incorporate that set.
As promotional cards don't seem to be included in the database here, I'm unsure how you'd approach cards that, while available as promos, are only available in 1 regular set. You could reference a separate database of all the promos to determine which cards to ignore, or just ignore promos altogether. If the latter, you'd want to enable this as a an update-option, rather than as a persisting rule. With approximately 9500 cards (3/4 of all distinct cards) being 'unique' with only 1 printing of each, this could potentially 'fill in' a majority of someone's missing set info.
