as a user of the site i'd 100% find "MH1 timeshifts ETCHED" much simpler to interact with

for anything else there is Scryfall

Edit: ideally this would be a good opportunity to fix the "foil-only" sets, so that the system could automatically set the foil flag for such cards

why not using mtgjson and/or scryfall for the missing cards?

Communicating is already possible, there is a "discuss with seller" button that makes the order visible to the seller before it's completed and paid for, and can be discussed smile

yes but it often happens that a card is sniped while a order is discussed, so not many people end up using.
if this new mode is made default it should happen less frequently, hopefully

Would you be willing to elaborate on why you think it should be the only method, instead of an additional opt-in method?

Not the *only* method, the *default* method: by default, sellers and buyers should have a chance to talk before finalizing orders, which is exactly the same of how trades are handled. In this way sellers can decided if they feel the need to edit the prices or if they are just happy with they prices they set. If a seller is sure of their prices and dont want to interact with the buyer then they would need to explicitly set the option. In that case, the buyer should be more protected from cancellations "because a card spiked", and a negative feedback for cancellation would make sense there, since the seller had the option from the start, but preferred not to set it.

thanks for the improvements, it works much better now

Would it be possible to restore the functionality that automatically closed* the panel after pressing "enter" in a field?

(* = nowadays would be "save & close")

Would it be possible to remove the

"
You do not yet have any Familiar Ground here. Why not add some? smile
"

message that appear everywhere? The answer is always the same, "because i don't have it", or "because i've just removed it"
from a graphical perspective, it needlessly wraps the smiley on a separate line too, and eats space in the submenu

I see i had to click Mass Input on the far top right corner. I got confused because setting properties on one side and clicking on the other side is a bit counter intuitive. Hope this will be addressed as well!

can anybody explain what's the use of "Open card page" link in the panel?

i can click on the card itself to get there, what is it for?

would it be possible to reintroduce the ability to dismiss the pane when pressing ENTER, after filling in some quantities, please?

I am implementing this tomorrow. There was too much to do today and could not finish it.


Please take this message in the best possible way, but I would recommend beta testing things for next time :-)

Samesis

Also, could you please move the Edit submenu to the right instead of to the bottom?
The reason I'm asking this is that it hides the Edit button for wishlist

hopefully inventory and wishlist will be merged in the same submenu, but it's something to consider for other menus

Something I just noticed, in a card page, if I click Edit i get a link to the card page itself "Open Card Page" next to "Add New Row"
... but I am already in the card page, even if i was in the inventory page, i can click on the card itself to get there

what is the point of that link?

the "Save Changes" checkmark disappears too quickly, maybe the button could disappear entirely and let the system update the entry every time there is a change

also, the behiavior of the inventory page is different from the card page, when you add cards the default edition is different in those two places

it looks like rendering is broken on firefox too https://www.dropbox.com/s/5v9adglnc00kkly/Screenshot%202020-03-26%2000.49.38.png?dl=1

I still really dislike the UI changes that are still in-place. Not being able to edit my wish list from my inventory and vice versa is a huge pain. Really disliking everything that was done.

I am adding the wishlist & inv editing back tomorrow. What else do you not like?

I'm also not a fan, my main pain point is that I want to be able to add cards as needed without clicking in too many places, as in keep the number of clicks needed constant, not increasing it.

Also the new +/- buttons appear on top of the other fields are hide useful data, maybe there could be a bit more padding between the rows and add the +/- buttons there (so place them vertically rather horizontally

Sorry if i am too direct, but this is the worst update possible, and we need a way to disable it, if not fully revert.

The rationale is pretty simple, the data visualization and insertion is clunky and hidden behind too much interaction. The previous version worked well because one could see what cards one had, right away without clicking anywhere, and add cards with one clicks. Now not only everything (both addition and visualization) requires one extra button, but the interface is unusable as the rest of the screen is blacked out and non-interactive (like I forcefully need to exit before I can click on the button).

Deckbox was renowned for its simple but effective interface, please keep it that way.

Edit: reading comments above, if this is a performance issue (land cards performance a problem? seriously???) consider keeping the old interface for premium customers - right now this website is unusable for me

Edit: Edit: the plus button overlaying the quantities (see attachment) is the worst sad

great work, sebi

any chance we could use a different icon for the eldraine extras? with the "showcase" and "extended art" promos selecting the right edition gets hard pretty quickly

kinda like the promo editions, they shouldn't all use the red ribbon, especially when there symbols already available

i might be down to that, as soon as i can refill my tradelist i'll send a trade proposal

are you trading exclusively for things on your wishlist or would entertain offers of some other kind too? I'd love some foils from you but i have 0 cards you're looking for hmm

thanks for the update sebi, but please please please, stop using the promo edition symbol for everything, it's really hard to make out which card edition to pick

there are countless of better options, i'll draw different edition symbols myself if it can help making this feature available

thanks for the update!

any chance we could use something else other the generic promo symbol that is used everywhere and that makes things rather confusing?
