For my issue, no.  I still believe we can work it out amongst ourselves so I have not yet submitted for support.  My patience is wearing thin, however...

I have had the same question for a little while now.  From what I can tell we are supposed to e-mail support@deckbox.org.

A little while after starting this thread I reworked the deck with the following goals in mind:

Increase speed.
Generate tokens more reliably.
Recover from board-wiping effect better.

Here is the deck with my changes:  http://deckbox.org/sets/151791

If you compare this deck to the one I first posted you'll notice a dramatic shift in the mana curve as well as the overall way the deck plays out.  The deck, in this form, plays faster, is more consistent and recovers from board-wiping effects very well.  I sometimes barely feel the effect while my opponents are set back quite a bit.

With the addition of a Doubling Season and the Reveillark package suggested by Mahl-Binx I feel the deck will perform considerably better and I will have achieved my goal.  We will see...

In general there isn't a ton wrong with the build.  The curve is low and well distributed and I don't see any conflicting goals among the cards you have picked out.  I think you should strongly consider running between 22 and 24 lands; the old 20:40 split is an outdated concept and decks tend to run smoother with at least 22 lands.  Additionally, I don't see a lot of benefit to keeping dark ritual in the deck.  It's a fun card but running 4 of them to speed out only 8 cards isn't an effective use of the card slot.  I understand the desire behind running them to ramp up the burn but I believe you will be better-suited by letting the mana for the burn come naturally instead of forcing it.  Maybe you have some Erg Raiders around?

Are you building Vintage decks for tournament play or for a more casual encounter?

Well, yeah, tinker/stax isn't a foreign concept to me but I don't know the vintage meta-game at all.

From a deck perspective, I really think a few Wurmcoil Engines could be good as they play very nicely with Goblin Welder and Smokestack.  That's about all I see other than maybe a Power Artifact and Voltaic Key.

I swear I posted here about a Uba Stax build but I don't see it

I don't play vintage or even keep up with the field so I will not be able to provide much input.

You could do what I do and only collect two of each desired token and then use dice to represent how many are tapped and untapped.  It's a decent balance between investing a small fortune in tokens and being courteous to your opponent by maintaining a clearly understandable board state. 

Then you'll maybe only need to put in 10 SCG orders

I know it's somewhat redundant to call nerds dorks but....

Dorks.

Notification parameters would be the cherry on top for sure!

I can confirm that you're not crazy, ZATZAi.  I login from multiple devices many times throughout the day.  Laptop, desktop, iPad and smart phone.  Sometimes I stay logged in on all of them for days, other times I am logged out of one device or another seemingly at random.  I will try to pay more attention to the situation now in case the information can be of service.
