There could have been a rule that generated this outcome (I don't think there is, but I could be wrong), but rather than defining such a rule it just feels like the lesson is "don't piss off the admins." I'd feel more comfortable if fairportmagic were allowed to "get away" with this one but if a rule was defined for the future that would explicate how users would be punished for abusing the BTR system.

Well this is true for any business or venue, that is why you see the text "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" on many policy documents.

If moderators and administrators cannot reason with a user, then it is time for him to leave, because it means he cannot be controlled and he just does what he wants.

Well the alternative to a -1 is then to completely suspend him from trading. If users think that would be better here, I'm willing to do that.

I tried it a bit, I think you guys are right. Users should open in a new window from trading opportunities, will change it back for that page.

Both of these updates really do affect the usability of the site for me and are, in my opinion, definitely steps in the wrong direction.

It really does not help if you just keep repeating things. You said that before, we got it smile

Also, the "Clear All" doesn't seem to do anything for me on the Trading Opportunities page.

Will fix.

What I liked most was the deckbox when searching for information on how many letters had in inventory overhead, including the value of each updated card, it facilitated much time to do business. Now the same information is in the lower left corner of the screen and does not have the price of the cards.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by this.

Can we get the old trade opportunities back? The ability to click on the traders name and have a new tab appear was great. Now I have to go back and reset all the setting ( allowing traders with less then 5 feedback to appear) while with the old page it was easier to find trade partners.

I had thought it's a bit confusing if many links open in new windows.

But you can get the exact effect by holding CTRL while clicking on a user link, it will open in a new window. Is that not sufficient?

I'm not getting the second page of my ``Purchase Opportunities'' to come up.

Fixed now.

I'd also like an option to sort that by # of cards available --- I want to do some bulk orders to catch up on various things (getting back into Magic now that my son is playing).

Nice idea, added it to the todo list.

I saw a temple of whatever come up (a scry land) and I have zero interest in any scry lands.  Also you should show the shipping price.

Yep, both good points, will do.

it says "admin" at the top right (which probably doesn't need to be visible to me)

Correct smile

I'd like to see a button to view it as a visual spoiler instead.  I realize I can do it this way but if I'm already looking at the set, why not give that option there as well?  Obviously this is not a priority, just something I was thinking about.

True, good idea. I do want to do much more with the set listing, also provide it as a checklist in inventories, and also the spoiler view you mentioned. Will think about it.

Makes the site not nearly as usable, opening new tabs and windows and such. Ugh. Bad move.

The feedback on the release where we introduced this was almost 100% negative. Now it seems when we undo it, it is negative again smile.

Also don't like the site pitching cards to me at all, regardless of the price. I have 0 cards on my wishlist, so maybe it's just pitching me random cards? But I don't want any of them and I don't like the selling pitch box even if I WAS in the market for cards.

We are trying to monetize this website, and the ads you see there are part of our trying to do so. Please understand that the continued development and maintenance of deckbox depends on it being a self-sustaining business, which it is now not, as I am working full time with 0 income, living on my savings as of now. But I do believe in the successful future of deckbox, and I'm trying to make it happen.

I will consider adding an option in your settings so you can disable the ads if they bother people so much.

By the way, I want to make the collection controls in place editable at some point soon too, so you don't have to open the panel if you want to edit them. I need to try out some things first....

Like, it'll pitch a card to me from someone, then when I click on the card link there are a bunch of cheaper copies listed. That seems pretty silly.

This sounds like a bug, you should only see the cheapest one being pitched. Will check it out, thank you for reporting. Do you remember which card it was by any chance?

Sebi, any chance an option to display or print a decklist as just text can be added back? the new print thing is really cool, no doubt, but I did like the old display just to quickly copy/paste a decklist.

The old one is still there.

Card Pages

In an earlier controversial release, we have changed the card pages to work as dialogs (except on small screens). This has been received not so well, and it is time now for us to admit that the idea has not worked. It was not intuitive nor too usable, and we can do better.

We have now re-structured the card pages to include most of the information that was before split into tabs, in what we think is a much better layout. Awaiting your feedback, as always.

Market

We added a new Market section, to contain the Purchase Opportunities, Seller listings and some statistics, as well as a landing page for Khans, which is just released. The structure and information there is subject to change, this is a first version. Let us know what you'd like to see more regarding buying & selling cards, from both the perspective of a buyer, as well as a seller.

http://deckbox.org/market


Decklists

Our old "Print" functionality in the Tools menu of decks was simple and insufficient, but there are tools which are much cooler. One of them is http://decklist.org , created by April (http://deckbox.org/users/marumari), which looks & works great!

We have now added an option in the Tools menu of your decks to export such a deck to the decklist service, where you can easily print it for the next event.

Upcoming this week

Still in the works and due to be released this week are 2 important fixes: features for removing cards from tradelists when accepting trades so that you do not accidentally re-trade or sell them, and some overdue CSV performance changes so people with very large inventories can export them. Flags re-work that we mentioned in v3.7 is also coming with it.


Also imported the Khans Prerelease Promos: https://deckbox.org/editions/309-prerel … -of-tarkir . No images though, couldn't find any available. If anyone knows of some, let us know.

Wow, I feel really sorry for the buyer, since it seems it happened twice to him, 10 minutes away! (He made an order for the Rabblemasters from someone else who also had traded them, and then from you, and it seems you also traded them).

This is actually our fault. When you accept a trade, it should remove the cards from your tradelist, to not cause these issues. This has been reported before and we want to make a release this week to address it.

Peter, I think in the interest of the buyer's situation, I'd ask if you could please go ahead with the sale, even if you have to get them from your LGS. We will of course refund you the sale fee, and an extra 10$ discount on your next deckbox bill, for the headaches. Let me know if this would be ok.

Thank you.

Option 1 is improbable, but option 2 is definitely something that has been requested and that we want to do.

Number 3 you can already do, if you go to your tradelist and use the import widget it will automatically add the things you add to both the tradelist & inventory.

Angelic Skirmisher & Wolf were added a few days ago.

We will try to keep up much better with db imports in the future, so this should not be a problem.

I understand that for the Khans pre-release there are many cards that are possible to have been printed as promos, but I found no official images list on the internet yet.
