Feedback: I'd prefer if card links went to magiccards.info again. That site is so much better than the new built-in card info site. Better search filters, nicer layout, more info at a glance, etc.
For the trading post, can the sections with the card lists in them be changed somehow? When I click the expand button it won't take into account spoiler tags (like in say, Galspanic's list), so its frustratingly impossible to look through some of the lists on here. Or is this an option somewhere and I missed it?

Rest in RIP My Signature, I guess. 2015-2016, we hardly knew ye.
Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5
I do like the built in mouse over pop up, which I feel like MTGS was a little bit behind the times with implementing. With that said, I'd much rather clicking the card links still take me to magiccards.info as well. I almost always have to keep a second tab open just for searching out cards that I need to look up for whatever reason.
This may be a by product of the MTGS database being new, but I'd say consistency. Every card I look up on magiccards.info will give me the same info about this card that it did about the last. I get a nice large card image. I get convenient links to every single printing, all with card images. I get the ability to print a proxy if I'm into that. I get TCG Player Low Mid and High prices as well as the option to visit TCG Player if I so desire. The magiccards.info option from the old site also opened in a new window rather than a new tab. For those of us with multiple monitors, this was quite convenient.
As an example of the lack of consistency, compare Vendilion Clique and Morphling. Clique's page gives me a variants tab, which is cool, but where's that tab for Morphling? There is, after all, a judge foil printing. As someone who only posts in the cube forum, knowing that there is a judge foil available is nice. Knowing that it's available and how much it costs is even better. Also the Modern Masters printing of Clique doesn't seem to include the price history like the Morningtide version does.
Moving away from those two cards specifically, it's somewhat annoying when a card image just doesn't show up at all. (Sakashima's Student) I've also had instances where mousing over the card does nothing, but I can't seem to recreate that right now.
Yeah, that consistency thing is on the list - Promos were not added to the database and will be and you should see that price chart with low/med/high for all cards. The idea is to have all the information that we had before but have the price chart and connection to the trading post that we didn't. Clipping the proxy link was very intentional.
You want a dead link? Mana Crypt
So yeah, the holes in the database should be fixed soon I hope.
I had the option turned on "Automatically subscribes me to recieve notices when I recieve trade feedback" because I thought I might get notified when I receive trade feedback (I don't), and it has subscribed me to users that have recently left me feedback. When I look at my list of followed users, it is empty but I'm still receiving notifications when they post even after turning off the option in notification settings.
I came here looking to see if there's a fix for this? I'm somehow subscribed to posts from users' I've recently traded with (with no discernible way to turn it off?) and never see notifications when trade feedback is submitted. LMK if a bugs been filed or I need to report this somewhere else.
Also not a fan of the new layout/hosting - but what can you do?
I've seen weird issues with editing/previewing on mobile (Silk on my Kindle in particular) but it's always the entire post gets eaten rather than just the card names.
You still haven't fixed by far the most annoying thing with the new site.
Whenever I edit my posts, all the CARDNAMES disappear. Do you know how annoying it is to have to manually re-type EVERY SINGLE CARD NAME in a long post on a forum about MTG?
This is a weird conflict with the Autocard Anywhere extension or other ones like it. I dunno if anything can be done on their end to fix it, but you can just disable it on mtgsalvation.

I still want that advanced editing page... Having it's own preview in the edit page instead of looking for that edit box somewhere in the same page where you can read other post. That's a lot of scrolling in addition to dealing with small edit box.
Right now this new forum has 3 major drawbacks for me compared to other MTG related forums:
1) no option to disable signatures (I hate signature litered forums);
2) no track of read/unread topics or posts, they all look in the same status;
3) email notifications about topic updates do not contain content of new posts.
I really REALLY hope that the first two will be addressed in near future.
1) already in the pipline
2) there is - look at the symbol on the left, blue = unread , grey = read
3) already in the pipline
2) there is - look at the symbol on the left, blue = unread , grey = read
This doesn't work, though. Not only does clicking the "Go to first unread" link often take me to posts from several days ago that I've already seen, but going out of the thread into the main forum still shows the icon to the left of that thread as blue meaning I've not read it.
I feel somewhat dim, but somehow I am following people that I have message even though I never intended to "follow" anyone. I checked who/what I'm following in my profile and nothing is listed. What am I missing?
Can anyone tell me why I can still see last year's standard proven deck subforums mixed with the current seasons?
And all of them are empty?
We normally delete the subforums when they are no longer in use. We are currently short staffed on admins so it is harder to handle these things. The move to the curse page has also put a lot of us needing to learn the new tools of the back end so things are just a little slower to process at the moment. I dont know if there is any sort of issue with the deletion of subforums right now either but its possible. Please hang in there with us as some changes are just taking a bit to work with.

Also, how do I get my signature to work?
Well, there is a default notification if you get quoted or PMed back generally speaking. I suspect that you just have notifications set on which is the default now days. If you go into your account by going to the top right and select "My Account", from there choose the "Notifications Settings" and you can choose what situations to be notified about. I suspect this is what you are actually running into.
Signature - I am assuming someone else got to this for you first or are you having issues other than to have your trade and sales to show up? Let me know if you need something more as from what I can see right now it seems to be working.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.

I guess I need to play with the settings then. I thought I had it figured out.
Thanks on the sig feedback. To this point, I hadn't seen my signature on any post that I made. I didn't know if I was doing something wrong, but it showed up here.
The next time the site is going to be in Read-Only mode could we please have a more prominent announcement/reminder about it. I don't come into the forums via the home page so I had no idea what was going on this morning when I lost a post that took a while to put together for seemingly no reason. A little note at the top of the forums really should have been included for this purpose.
As it was, even when I went looking to see if there was an announcement, I barely noticed it. Tucking it in the top of an article titled Off Topic: The Fungus Tribe almost made me miss it entirely, since I read the title and naturally assumed it would be about tribal fungus cards, rather than site maintenance.
Including a little note in the forums would also give some indication of when the site will be out of Read-Only mode. As it stands the only way to find out is to try and post something.
EDIT: Also, amusingly managed to post from the future.

Yeah, however this is setup it's just not working right for me.
I've been coming back every few days but not been able to spend any time here but it seems it's finally fixed.
I will mention that the site is godawful slow, but it is now readable. This is a good thing as I'm pretty sure my magic has suffered by not being here as much. Hopefully I'll be here a bit more now, switching browsers just for one site was too much hassle and I'm glad it's sorted.
Every post starting with a "0" is kinda funny, but I don't get it, and other than things in quotes, it's really hard to see where one post ends and another begins. I mean I'm not stupid and can look for the picture of a new user, but it's not really easy to skim through as there's no definition.

When is the last time you upgraded your browser? As that layout looks a lot like the one I have on my work computer which is running IE 8. Getting a newer Browser will fix pretty much all of your issues.
And for your question that number is the number of times some one has thanked a post.
I'm on IE9.
I genuinely appreciate the solution thanks.
Sadly, as already stated, I hate change and I don't really feel it should be up to me to change my computer setup just to read a forum and will probably mean I don't visit as much anymore. That however is my problem not yours, and thanks again for the solution. I really enjoy this place and learn a lot from it, so I'll miss it more than it misses me and will no doubt struggle on when needed.
