I can't load the Custom Card Contests and Games subforum but the others are loading fine. It's like if you EVER get a 404, the server just permanently assumes the page isn't there... There's some really unpleasant cacheing issues there.
According to the display on the New Content screen, this thread is 2 pages (23 posts). But it's actually 1 page.
This is more of the latency issue I was getting at. I made my post, refreshed the page, and my post was not even there. I had to refresh it again about 10 seconds after the first refresh...
This is less of a problem and more of a suggestion, and I understand it's not high priority right now either, but a Forum Jump button at the top of the page would be very useful. It was on the old site on the same bar as the User CP, iTrader, Blogs, and Community links. It's a great convenience that I use all the time.

How to use card tags (please use them for everybody's sanity)
[c]Lightning Bolt[/c] -> Lightning Bolt
[c=Lightning Bolt]Apple Pie[/c] -> Apple Pie
Vowels-Only Format Minimum deck size: 60 Maximum number of identical cards: 4 Ban list: Cards whose English names begin with a consonant, Unglued and Unhinged cards, cards involving ante, Ancestral Recall
Am I the only one experiencing a noticeable delay between taking any action on these forums? It is actually really annoying and all of my other pages and sites are loading as they normally should without this strange delay. I guess an example would be opening up a section, such as competitive in the Standard forum, and all of the new topics appear and after a few seconds bold themselves to show what is new and what is not. Similar latency can be seen when replying to a thread or editing a post.
Really turns me off.
Also, not being able to do advanced edits is annoying as ****. < Your filter is broken too.
dont know what you mean by advance edits
As for the delay, thats not latency. What we do is run a javascript that auto bolds everything. This actully lets the site load faster for you (so you can start browsing sooner) and then once its ready - marks the forums with bold.
This also means it goes based off your computer.
With that said I have added to the doc an option to be able to turn that on or off.
I-Trader feedback rating and percentage should be visible near the user's avatar, location, join date, etc. It's not necessary for the entire forum, but it should be a fairly high priority to have that information visible for posts made in Market Street (Bad Trader Reports, Trading Post, and Sales Lot).

I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
yes - 100% everything that was on the old site, is here as well!
If there is something you cant see, its 100% due to it just not having permissions correct. (its an issue with imported permissions overruling defualt user ones)

I don't like the fact that I have to double tap card links to get prices and that it isn't linked to magiccards.info... But I do like the graph, so I can somewhat over look the non-linking to magiccards.info. I can't overlook the fact that the first tap pops up the card and won't go away. Makes mobile versions extremely irritating, especially since all I view the forum on is my phone(s).
Things I really miss that may have been mentioned already:
Thread URLs that aren't eight miles long and don't turn to alphabet soup when I quote a post. Karona forbid you quote a post with a quote in it!
An option to hide signatures. They're often huge and some people just don't care for them.
Not being reminded that the link I just clicked isn't on mtgs. An option to turn this off would be gr8.
60ppp. My scrolling finger is starting to atrophy already.
vBulletin 3 style. Traditional avatar-on-the-left posts take up a lot of vertical space. The more posts I can fit on my screen at once, the happier I am.
A users currently viewing the thread list. This is useful as a moderator so I can snoop on delinquents, but also in general so you know when your pals are lurking about.
The ability to right-click > save avatars. This seems dumb but it's pretty useful for when I accidentally delete mine, or for editing somebody else's in the ye olde sigge shoppe.
I'm not digging the auto-cards. They're so tiny I can barely see them and they're only the card. I like my Scry extension. If there could be a way to turn them off so I could use my extension, that'd be golden. :3
I seem to have all my mod powers but no posting privileges over here.
Glad to see all the old links haven't been broken but I'm sad to see the move to a word-based instead of numerical system for the urls. They're clunky and there's no obvious way to use them. On the old forum I could link to specific post and alter the url to 'showpost' in order to have only that post show up or 'showthread' if the posts around it were in any way important. It seems like the 'showpost' version just doesn't exist anymore. (I also don't like that clicking on the post number brings up a box with a url. Almost anyone who uses the internet knows how to copy a link without this kind of hand holding.)
EDIT: I tried to merge some threads and got an error message. The old threads now redirect to the target, which shows the correct number of posts. However the new thread only contains its original posts and none of the supposedly merged ones. Would appreciate some help in restoring these.
Only thing that's irking me about the forum change is going down to 25ppp, from 60ppp. Irritates me a little when I'm a mod in a tournament, although I don't have to worry about that part for much longer.

I can't remember if I put this in an older feedback thread or not, but someone earlier mentioned the ability to hide signatures. I want to second that.
I also would love the ability to hide avatars as well.
Personally, I'm a very text-based person, and I like simple boards that are just the topic at hand, not cluttered up with sigs and avatars and other non-thread related noise, so I turn those off as much as I can when I can.
whoa. I didn't even see this thread, and probably 1/2 of what is here in this subsection until after I posted in another thread about sig problems.
so I guess that's issue #1.
#2, is what I posted already in that thread.
I'm having the problem of the formatting not saving at all unless it's the crap like i got right now. I figured the character limit was drastically cut, which seems rather ridiculous, but I'm just wanting to be able to save what I put in.
Oh, and there is no Font button to change the font in the Sig editor either.
Is there any chance to have our character limit back to what it was?
Also, I don't see a line break for Sigs on the dark skin either.
That's all I've found.
* I do a "Mark All As Read" on the Limited forum: http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/limited-sealed-draft#
* It doesn't mark anything as read.
* Instead, it adds another two "Go to first unread post" arrows to the Unconstructive Bragging Thread (a sticky thread, which already had one).
* Every time I click it again it adds another two arrows but still marks nothing as read!
Now I admit this was quite fun to play with, but it will probably wear a bit thin after a while, so please could you fix it?

The "change nickname" box will not go away. Selecting Yes or No has no effect.
Site runs substantially slower than the old version.
On the plus side, it's a little easier on the eyes. So it's got that going for it.
