Search options (Page 6 of 7)

This was actually an issue that existed prior to the updates:  When doing a trade, I have found that putting a zero in the count next to a card will often cause a different card to be removed from the trade.  When this happens, I have to refresh the page before it will work normally again.  Just a minute ago, I had to refresh after every card I removed.  That wasn't really well-written, so let me know if you need clarification.  Thanks!

Happy New Year, deckbox team!  You are the best!

In deck view, when I sort by price, I see extra copies of a card displayed.  For example, one basal thrull appears 4 times (I presume this is due to the alternate art in fallen empires).  Swamp shows up 5 times, due to the 5 swamps in RTR.  Anyone else have this bug?

People have been talking about can get/can give counts not matching what shows up on other users' profile pages.  I don't think this has been said, so I'd like to point out that it seems to stem from specifying editions.  If someone wants Elves of Deep Shadow from The Dark, and your tradelist has it listed with no edition, it will show in the count on your profile, but it will not show as a potential trade on the other person's profile page.  I suggest that everyone leave details off of their wishlists unless they truly do care.

I can indeed post trade chat messages now.  Thanks for the fast fix!  Things that I pay for never have customer service as good as deckbox - you guys deserve a medal!  (Or a donate button...)

Hello Sebi,

Before I start with the nitpicking, I should say that the hard work you put in is overwhelming positive.  Thanks!

The following stuff has mostly been said before, but I figure that multiple posts let you know what people care about.  It would be great to collapse the inventory view to card name only, just like the previous version of deckbox.  While there are times that I would want to see all my different Giant Growths listed out, I usually just want to see how many I have. 

When the only difference between cards is the date added, I would prefer not to see them displayed separately.  Others might not like this idea, but I would suggest that when I add a card, every card in my inventory with the same name would have its "Date Added" field updated.  That way, they would be grouped together.  The new card entry interface is a bit confusing, but I'm going to give it time.  There is a learning curve to everything, and I may end up liking this better than the old one.

Anyway, here are the two main points of the above paragraph.  When I enter a new card, I'd like to see how many I have in total.  And I would like to view my cards grouped by card name.

I don't know how to improve this, but I don't quite like that tradelist entries with unspecified editions show up as separate lines in my inventory.  It looks like I have more cards because of the extra lines.  More importantly, I don't really want to specify editions.  Consider the following example:  I have 4 revised Wanderlust and 2 4th edition Wanderlust.  I only need 4 total, so I'll trade 2.  If someone is looking for 2 revised versions, they could have them.  Or if someone wants 2 4th edition, they could have them.  I don't want to miss out on any trading opportunities by specifying editions.  Basically, I want to make sure that people who want a wanderlust can find me no matter which edition they want.  Of course, I know that no one actually wants Wanderlust;)

A couple of actual bugs (I think). 
-When pop-up windows (such as the Edit Details interface) have scrollbars, the window disappears when I try to click on the scroll bar. 
-Some of my cards (Phyrexian Walker, for example) display a decks icon indicating that they are present in decks.  Other cards (Careful Study) are in decks, but do not show the icon.  I couldn't think of a reason for this.
-Also, I think card entries should go away when everything is set to zero.  I have two entries for Phyrexian Walker.  One has 5 inventory, 1 tradelist, 0 wishlist.  The other is all zeros.  That may not be an actual bug, but I liked the old method better.   I'm using windows 7, firefox 17.0.1.

Finally, I'd like to be able to sort by tradelist and inventory counts again (which only makes sense if you can group by card name).  I generally trade cards when I have more than four, so sorting this way helps me keep my tradelist updated.

Okay, this is my last edit   - After using the add cards widget a little bit, I think it's great.  I just wish that it didn't add a card immediately upon selecting the card's name.  Can you make two versions?  A quick-add version like the one in place, and also a version where you have to click apply before anything hits inventory.  That would be fantastic.

Thanks again - this is an amazing site!

+1 to Remy's idea above. 

I agree that senders should be responsible for the cards reaching their destination.  I think that such a system will work well if, as suggested, we are given additional checkboxes to note certain issues (such as claims of lost mail or poor shipping practices).

I would be _really_ reluctant to ever give someone less than a +1 feedback.  I am even unlikely to describe a problem in the comment next to the positive feedback.  I think the only way to get users like me to record this important information is to provide checkboxes.  If I can check "Cards were sent without hard toploader/inadequate protection," or "trader claimed not to receive cards; cards re-sent," I could do so without the fear that it will be taken personally.

In this fashion, we will all get the protection we need.  If I get damaged cards and a user has ten instances of inadequate protection marked on his trades, it should be easier for me to prove my case.  More importantly, I will continue to be able to send without DC, knowing that deckbox has ways of weeding out serial scammers.

I think a question that remains to be addressed is how to display this new information.  I wouldn't want to make it as prominent as feedback, because I wouldn't want a few negative issues to discourage trading.  But if traders have access to the information, they can make informed decisions about how to protect themselves, or whether to make the trade at all.

One last benefit from this: codifying these (somewhat) minor trade issues and adding checkboxes would likely help people learn to be better traders.

Thanks!

In reference to the potential trade tools (both the intersection listing that is displayed when I am on another user's profile page and the can get/can give listing for Reddit users that is displayed on my own profile page):

If someone has specified that they want the M12 edition of Acidic Slime, and I have specified that the M11 version is in my tradelist, will Acidic Slime be displayed as a potential trade?  I think that the default should be to display it, since people may specific editions without actually caring.  It would be useful, however, to be able to filter down to exact matches on command, as there are users who want a lot of foil cards or A/B/U editions.  It currently looks like I can trade with them, but they don't actually want anything from me.

Also, it would useful to have some different sorting available on the trading opportunities.  Ideally (and I know this could be ridiculously hard to implement), I'd like to see an ordering along these lines.  Take the lower of the total value that I can get and the total value I can give, and sort that in descending order.  This would let me see my biggest potential trades first.  Failing that, I would at least like to have the option of filtering out people who don't want anything on my tradelist.

Again, thank you for a truly amazing site!

Null parameter: I'm certainly open to trading the lilianas individually.  I haven't figured out a valuation yet; I usually just compare my cards to stuff on people's trade lists.  I'll give it some thought.  Feel free to suggest something, though.
