Alter suggestion

Do you think it would work to add an option to check all alters available for your deck, so you can add the ones you like?

I upvote this suggestion. It would make adding in alters for EDH SO much easier. I suggest to implement it similar the "Edit Board" option, having an alternate button on the profile page that makes it easy to see. Button named "Add Alters" should be good enough.

What I'm envisioning is having each card name have a side-scrolling scroll box that displays a list of images of all the card alters available for that card name. This list would be rendered and defined when you click on an available printing in a list of printings in a drop down box for that card name which would probably be located underneath the card name.

The drop down box serves as the purpose to make the page easier to load. Basically, the alters don't render until you pick a relevant printing. I crash the site far too many times by trying to load up my alter's page. So trying to load up an alter page for a deck that has Sol Ring, Sensei's Divining Top and Demonic Tutor would pretty much lag out most low end computers, and destroy mobile devices.

Speaking of crashing the site ... yeaGO, is there any better way to load up a user's individual alter's page? Because having the site crash (even it is just only for me) every time I try and load it up (I need to attempt this like, 4 or so times before it successfully loads) is an incredibly nuisance, and most other people wouldn't realize what the problem is.

Oh, and here's a suggestions for the alter database myself: Have any user be able to flag an alter when its page doesn't have a proper source listed. Once flagged, a notification will be sent to the user to put in a proper source.
