Intermittent Thopters in last weeek

Going to keep watching the situation. Pages not load because database is gets real slow, might hit up server host the next time it happens to find out what the issue is.

Updates and Fixes

General: Report site updates

Thanks to a lot of people asking about updates/proper changelog. Going to report updates as an occasional article for now.

Deck Export: Added Reddit/Markdown

Decks now have a new option in 'export' to cater to people wanting to publish their decks to Reddit or other places that use Markdown syntax. (Thanks for the suggestion, lordofthunder4)

Deck-cycling: Small fix

Problem described in this thread Thanks for bringing it to my attention Gigglestomp. PS: funny name.

Notifications: TappedOut notifications to Facebook notifications (warning: BETA)

New option in your settings if you Facebook-connected. Bear in mind the link within Facebook won't work properly (for now), but at least you will know. I find this handy.

Notifications: Pinging users by [ [ user ] ]

You will now receive a notification when a comment contains your name. Thanks zandl?

Aggregate Card Discussion

Mentioning a [ [ card ] ] how puts that comment in context at that cards page. Useful for card research? Maybe.

Earlier this month

Community Cards: Huge overhaul, MSE Import

General improvements to that long-neglected section thanks to squire1 . Added ability to import Magic Set Editor files. However, this doesn't work perfectly (the images are only the art--not the full card). But this will import your set and card info.

Draft Chat: Made box smaller

Too high for smaller screens. Fixed

Is that supposed to be Movember? Or is it a typo?

I look terrible with a moustache, so I've been going the route of "No-Shave November"

zandl says... #4

Bah. Late, but could you possibly add an export feature for Cockatrice? All it needs is "(number) (card)", one per line. I could copy & paste the decklist from the edit page, but Cockatrice gets mad with the "x"s after the numbers.

Or am I just the only lazy person here?

November 22, 2012 12:23 p.m.

Glycan says... #5

I wholy approve with zandl. In the future, interfacing with Cockatrice would be awesome (I prefer by far tappedout's playtesting UI, but Cockatrice offers playing against others). Also, could we have one-click posting? On-page posting without actual submit forms (e.g., with JS) would be pretty cool too.

November 22, 2012 12:29 p.m.

zandl says... #6

I don't know. The submission page lets you know if any of your card syntax is off. It also lets you link to cards, go to the submission page, and use the cards' text as you finish your post.

November 22, 2012 12:31 p.m.

mafteechr says... #7

I would love to have an export feature like what zandl is describing. It also helps with online wishlists. Lots of things don't like the "x".

yeaGO says... #8

does the .txt not work?

November 22, 2012 3:47 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #9

It does. All you have to do is copy onto clipboard then in cockatrice's deck builder part you go to the "load deck from clipboard". Doesn't work with sideboards but the maindeck will load.

November 22, 2012 4:51 p.m.

zandl says... #10

The .txt export for me doesn't really work at all.

All I get when I do it is one huge line of text that says things like "2 Sigarda, Host of Herons3 Garruk, Primal Hunter4 Centaur Healer" and the like, with lots of spaces between the numbers and the following names.

November 22, 2012 4:58 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #11

Yea. Copy that to your clipboard then in trice go to Deck Editor -> Load Deck From Clipboard... then delete the sideboard out of the window that pops up.

Deco_y says... #12

You guys are doing the whole Cockatrice thing wrong.

Export the MTGO code (.dec) and export that to a folder in your computer and load that into Cockatrice. Works perfect for me every time.

Photobucket

My Movember stache. Look like a cop >_>

Timekeeper says... #14

Could we possibly get the color filter on the Deck Search working again?

For the last several months when I try to combine a color filter with a search for a word or deck type I get literally nothing, no results.

Example: Searching with Blue and Black in the filter produces results, but if I put them in and then type "dimir" under "search" I get nothing. Same happens when Red Blue and Green are put in with "commander" selected as the format. (I just figured out that this works if I pick one color, but not if I pick two, three, four, or five.)

Also, can we set up the deck search so that the most recent or top rated decks appear first? When I search for something I usually have to go through several pages of decks with only 1 card in them before I get to anything valid.

November 22, 2012 10:18 p.m.

yeaGO says... #15

Decks with only one card in them???

I will delete any damn mothafuckadeck with one card in it

November 22, 2012 10:24 p.m.

Timekeeper says... #16

Well type anything into the search engine and the first page of decks is like that, generally.

Unless you type something and use more than one color in the color filter. Cause then you get nothing.

November 22, 2012 10:33 p.m.

yeaGO says... #17

wtf is up with people? I am gonna exclude these decks from the index.

Say, decks with less than 30 cards?

November 22, 2012 10:35 p.m.

Timekeeper says... #18

Aaaaand now that try again that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Sooo nevermind.

But still: colors... yeah.

November 22, 2012 10:36 p.m.

Timekeeper says... #19

Actually, excluding decks less than 30 cards would probably help prevent the problem from occurring again, yes.

November 22, 2012 10:36 p.m.

yeaGO says... #20

I just searched for angels and found tons of dumb decks with 12 cards.

November 22, 2012 10:37 p.m.

Deco_y says... #21

People probably start making a deck and then abandon it. I keep mine private until they're at 60 at least. I thought that is what most people did haha.

November 22, 2012 10:42 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #22

Either that or they are name saving.

November 22, 2012 10:46 p.m.

yeaGO says... #23

yeah i will just enforce private for decks with less than 30 cards. doing that now. bye.

November 22, 2012 10:52 p.m.

yeaGO says... #24

apparently that worked so awesomely that i took down tappedout. ugh.

November 22, 2012 11:03 p.m.

zandl says... #25

I noticed that.

November 22, 2012 11:04 p.m.

tempest says... #26

Watch for Askani28's magic rpg

November 22, 2012 11:06 p.m.

yeaGO says... #27

thanks w999. good call. Are the images fixed for that yet? can anyone else think of exceptions of decks that have less than 30 cards not being private?

November 22, 2012 11:07 p.m.

Deco_y says... #28

Is there even a format that you use 30 cards in?

I'm not experienced in formats but the lowest is 40 in limited is it not?

Also, not a SINGLE remark on my stache even though it's posted in a Movember thread. Disappoint.

November 22, 2012 11:10 p.m.

zandl says... #29

7/10.

November 22, 2012 11:11 p.m.

November 22, 2012 11:13 p.m.

Deco_y says... #32

Thanks zandl. Better then I'd give it haha.

November 22, 2012 11:13 p.m.

Deco_y says... #33

Deco_y says... #44

I think we've all learned a valuable lesson. Don't post your picture online.

November 22, 2012 11:44 p.m.

Askani28 says... #45

Hey. Noticed someone brought up my little rpg. The pictures are still awol, (Now it's really just a text-based rpg loll.) I'll fix it during next semester when I find the time. Thanks for not making the game private btw loll.

November 22, 2012 11:45 p.m.

Askani28 says... #46

Oh, just read the stuff above. Nice upgrades :)

November 22, 2012 11:49 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #47

That, folks, is a "I just got out of the army a couple of months ago so I'm growing hair dammit!"

zandl says... #48

Image and video hosting by my ass

Meme-a-tize me, yeaGO!!

Sadly, I'm not blessed with a lot of facial hair growth.

Also, Ohthenoises's manly man-beard in the background.

@zandl, in your picture, does your computer screen have this page on it?

November 24, 2012 7:57 p.m.

zandl says... #52

Uh. Yes.

Yes it does.

November 24, 2012 8:49 p.m.

RustyKeyes says... #53

Are there plans to make it possible to use custom cards in decks to playtest with? When I first saw we had the ability to add them that's what I thought it was for, but then I was sad...

November 28, 2012 1:46 a.m.

http404error says... #54

I think the goal is to let you build decks with custom cards you import to Community Cards. Not sure what level that's implemented at yet, but the MSE import is a million times better now xD.
