@almundjoy Fixed promo icon.
@vikirosen Initially I did that by mistake, but then I thought perhaps it makes more sense for it to be alphabetical? As we already have quite a few types (although most of them will not appear in most decks): Artifact, Conspiracy, Creature, Emblem, Enchantment, Instant, Land, Phenomenon, Plane, Planeswalker, Scheme, Sorcery, Token, Vanguard
Not sure, open to suggestions...
This is an 'iceberg' type release, in that you can only see a couple of minor changes, but in fact there are a lot of other things under the hood.
The small changes are:
- The Avg Price is now in its own column in set listings, so it's aligned nicer
- The Min Price is removed from the default set listings, and can be re-enabled as an optional column from the Columns dropdown.
- You can now sort by Inventory Count / Tradelist Count / Wishlist Count in-place in all the sets, decks and card database again, it works with no redirects.
- fixed some corner cases in price parsing - https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=23894
- fixed some minor set sorting/filtering bugs
- some other minor styling and layouting changes
There are many more structural changes under the hood that enable faster development for upcoming features, better performance for users with very large collections, and paves the way for the releases to come.
Because of these changes, there might be some weirdness / regressions / bugs introduced, if you spot any, please let me know in this thread, they will be fixed as soon as possible.
Aurochs (coldsnap theme deck ) is valued at $30, way off its true price
Fixed, thanks.
Sebi has ruled on other BTR's in the past the same way, she is being consistent
"He" 
. Sebi is short for Sebastian 
Deleted post by olabolas. (you are interjecting in many BTR threads with flamebait posts and now here. Please stop it). Later edit: banned, probably secondary account of someone with a grudge.
Negative feedback...
Why?
I'm going to let others discuss this freely, I will only make a single post here, to clarify the quoted question which seems to be addressed to me .
Negative feedback has been given because a BTR admin (me in this case) has had a hard time having a conversation with you and reaching a conclusion. The other trader also had the same problem with you. We have also had this problem with you earlier this year on another BTR. This is what a bad trading experience means, and that is what we do NOT want to have here.
Yep, right now it is not possible. You can get around that (albeit a bit of a hassle) by setting your "main country" to U.S.A temporarily until you place the order, and when you place the order select a US address.
Would it solve the issue if we add a 'sort by last added' column so that the newest added one is always on top?
We also have external price sources like amazon and ebay, and other partners.
The average price has to reflect as accurate a value as possible for users who are trading. If it was based on just the listed cards, anyone could manipulate prices when they are the only seller.
Perhaps the phrasing is wrong, "average" is misleading.
Really, the tokens and emblems should not affect legality at all.
Correct. Will fix.
The easiest way right now is to paste the decklist into the 'import cards list' widget. Be sure to also select the edtion in the right side dropdown, so they all get the correct edition assigned.
We do want to have a better way though, will come in a future release.
Yep, we have a lot of deck-related improvements to make... and are overdue. Better filtering will come soon!
Fixed Lord of Atlantis.
Cool idea! Wrote it down.
Tooltips should be fixed now. Shift-Refresh to clear browser cache if you still see some bad ones.
I see your point in wanting to take an overall look at the issue and wanting to make a "what's best for the community" decision. I simply disagree with you in your assessment that the false conviction rate is low enough to be acceptable. I have no idea how high or low the false conviction rate is at the moment, but what I do know is that any system should strive for a 0 false conviction rate.
It's 0%. 1 person was convincted, and he did not even say he is innocent. Evidence was obvious as well. That's all the convictions in the last 6 years of deckbox
I'm not really familiar with other trading websites who also display card values. I assume PucaTrade has such fuctionality, but I am not sure what they do when their price data is off or stale.
The suspension jassi refers to is here https://deckbox.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=22970
It also has nothing to do with tcgplayer or with trying to monetize the website, i'm not sure how you got to that conclusion.
That user clearly tried to take advantage of market price fluctuations and deckbox bugs to abuse other users via the trade system, so he was suspended.
It also has nothing to do with buying and selling, and could have happened very well even if our prices were not based on our market, but on some other external source. Prices were many times off when we got them from tcgplayer too.
Like in any kind of partly protected system, we here want to protect our users from abuse. In that case 20 people were just about to lose 10$ each, due to a fluctuation that deckbox prices did not respond to (so a deckbox bug you can say), and a guy who thought he's entitled to steal that value because he noticed the bug. Also he did not bother to tell us about it when he saw it, instead he opened 20 trades with people who did not know the price spiked 2 days before.
The case referenced before is not about marginal arbitrage. The card was mistakenly marked on deckbox as being three times less expensive than 90% of all other websites - ebay, tcgplayer, amazon, star city games, adventureson, all of them, with a 10$ difference on a 5$ card.
I'm not yet sure what the solution to this problem is, or how to phrase a rule that clearly explains what is abuse. But I still stand very decided that arbitrage of that sort on market fluctuations is pretty clearly abuse. Preventing that is of course not an easy problem to solve, but I would still like to prevent it. Until we have a good solution, suspending people who blatantly do it is a temporary one.
Feedback is as always welcome on the topic. I do not want to ignore the problem.
The use of name & login could be clearer though, you are right. I will take a look at that.
Not sure what the solution is then, we cannot stop people from changing their first and last name. Some users realize that they do not want them shown for privacy reasons and remove them. We do not have any way of seeing they are real in the first place.
The login name stays the same after 2 weeks. If you want to change it, you can if you are not trying to dodge bad feedback.
I have friends on facebook that are called George W. Bush, that's their prerogative
What is the actual problem you are worried about when other people use other names?
We've got some database imports for today:

Functionally you are only able to change your username in the first 2 weeks after signing up. But we do not allow users to do it to dodge btrs and other such bad behavior.
Who is the user who changed his username?
Nope, I'd also like this
Good idea, wrote it down.
