You guys should really look at some sort of reply-required verification system for new accounts.  The spam problem is starting to get out of hand.

Awesome looking changes incoming!

Thanks guys smile


A little question: Me and a friend share a collection, what would be the best way of keeping our collections in sync?

Re: Mtg & Whi imports; Next release status

It really does look great smile Although I'm a little confused by trading opportunities part hmm I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Also the "Approximate price of cards you need from"... says the same thing under both sections in trading opportunities. Not sure if you noticed that yet or not.

Wait one second...... I just noticed this........

Does this actually list how many of each card that you are getting in other trades, right alongside how many you want in total?!
Wow.  I am looking forward to this update more and more each day.


On an unrelated note about the multiple card import, would it be possible to add a "same as above" option.
For example, when RTR comes around I'm going to be importing a lot of cards, and it would be nice to not have to worry too much about the set, so being able to type something like this instead would be nice:

2, Acidic Slime, M13
3, Ajani's Sunstriker, "
1, Angelic Benediction, ", , , Foil

(Where the quote obviously means to copy the one above it)

Or, another possible option could be to have the ability to set a global value that would override all values under it, but I'm assuming that would be a lot more difficult and outside the scope of current work since you're probably just doing some standard CSV type parsing.  For example:

EDITION=M13
2, Acidic Slime
3, Ajani's Sunstriker
1, Angelic Benediction, , , , Foil

EDITION=M12
1, Acidic Slime
2, Aether Adept

I like this option a lot and as a PHP developer I know that processing this would be easy if you read it line by line. It might not make it in the release, but this would be nice to have in a patch later.

Yeah, the coding definitely wouldn't be too difficult if they're doing all of their own inline parsing line by line, but I guess it depends upon how everything is setup.  If each CSV line is just passed into a Card constructor or factory and that is where all of the parsing is done, then that makes it a bit more difficult.  But I guess you could also just pass in a map of all currently overridden values and just take it from there.

Oh well, either way, I guess that decision and work is up to you guys sebi. big_smile

Actually that's not exactly what it says,  maybe the listing is a bit confusing and we need to clarify the table a bit. It says that the guy has 2 Absolute Law in his tradelist and you have 3 in your wishlist.

EDITION=M13
2, Acidic Slime
3, Ajani's Sunstriker
1, Angelic Benediction, , , , Foil

EDITION=M12
1, Acidic Slime
2, Aether Adept

This looks like an interesting option. I had intended to just have a standar CSV parser for the textarea, and also a possibility to upload a CSV file. But I like your ideea of a smarter input with some "meta" lines in there. Will try some things over the weekend and I'll post back smile

Hmmm..... yeah, then it is a little bit confusing, because I assumed that the "1" next to the the person's haves was how many they had.
So if the first number in the yellow column is how many the other person has, then what is the number in the blue column?

Unless something changed, right now all of the card listings come from Gatherer.  And sadly, Wizards doesn't usually add the new set to Gatherer until a day or two before the pre-release, so they will most likely be available between Thursday and the weekend at some point.

Well then, very nice!  Wizards decided to be quick this time around.  I'm guessing that sebi still has to trigger a regathering of the data, which may just happen automatically at night.

Re: Mtg & Whi imports; Next release status

Very cool additions- actually, very cool site just found out about it!

Is there an ETA for these updates- specifically the importer one?

I have all my cards already on a spreadsheet (yep, crap) so I just want to bulk import them properly and the new import features is just what I want so I don't want to start adding cards and then two days from now all my effort goes down the toilet sad

Other than that amazing website smile
