When I go to report a post, it forces me to choose a report reason from a particularly narrow list of reasons - I would like to have an "other" option available for reporting posts that don't cleanly fit into one of the listed categories, or at least have the option to not have to specify such a reason without getting an error message.
For instance, there isn't a clean option for "This thread is better suited for [insert other location of MTGS here]"

Former Level 2 Judge (Retired / Renounced)
Went to a new shop from a friend's recommendation, DQ'ed for willful violation of CR 100.6b.
First one I posted in the mod lounge, but posting here in case it was missed, and because it might help un-confuse a couple people.
Not sure it's high on the list of priorities but [foil] tags are breaking [card] tags unless they are placed after the card name, and it is breaking [cards] tags if [foil][/foil] is present anywhere insides the [cards]
[foil][/foil] also doesn't work as a card tag on it's own
When deleting things from the inbox using the check all option, when the new page loads, all the boxes are visibly checked but the posts are not actually selected. You need to de-select all then select them again. (this happens to post that move to the new page to)
When you view iTrader for someone it seems you can no longer view feedback they leave for others.
Avatars aren't working correctly in the trading post.
Nearly all promo versions of cards are not available in the trading post
Anything card that begins with "demon" (i.e demonic tutor, etc) is parsing as a demon token unless you wrap it in tags.
Molster - did you see my post on the 1st page? Any comments on that?

So in order to continue trading on mtgs, should I create a new trade thread via the link in the quote? Should I just copy/paste my legacy trade thread content into the a new thread or link it? Seems like most of the new threads created after the move have been simple "I have these 10 things and I'm looking for 10 other things."

A new trade thread is good. That's the system we are moving towards and we have the old stuff still here mostly to give people the chance to copy/paste their stuff over. The likely reason they are simple is because most peoples' threads are typically simple and most of the older/bigger traders have inertia issues (myself included). It's all good so go nuts.
I keep getting the following error when trying to post a Haves list in the new trading post:
BBCode Render failed due to reaching MaxNestingDepth(30) for Tag: *
Please advise?
This means the post has some bad formatting (to many nested bbcodes) for exmaple the following would be a depth of 6. Going to 30 is never needed and usally means theres a formating issue in the post.
So it this error referencing the "*" tag, as in a list item? If so 30 isn't very much for a list of cards. I even tried breaking it up.
My haves is formatted in exactly the same fashion as my wants and the wants show up just fine and the haves is a jumbled mess. I just can't figure out how to fix it, there are no instances in that list like the one you listed here.

Gotcha. I'm in the camp that prefers to post everything they own. When I saw the first couple threads going up I wondered "Are we allowed to post our 1k+ collections with the new site?! What if someone wants my obscure cards from 10 years ago??"
Think the only other concerns/questions I have atm are "How do I just quote the post I'm replying to?" I noticed you only quoted mine, but when I click "Quote" to reply to yours it kept mine nested in there. Is there a simple way besides deleting my quote?
Concerning trader feedback, I assume that distinguishing from buyers/sellers/traders has just been reduced to 'trades'? jw.
And when I was submitting feedback, I greeted with "You can't post additional feedback within 5 minutes" or something of that nature. Understandly, I get that we can't post within 30 seconds. Just found it odd that in the situation where I was completeing multiple trades and submitting feedback, I had to wait to do so. food for thought.
Taking some time to get used to the new layout. Thanks Gals!
While the loss of PPP control is annoying, I can see the technical logic to it, though I'd like something higher than we have now.
The biggest complaint is the way notifications work now. On the old site:
a) they showed me a transcript of the post I was being notified about, which was nice, if it was something I was being asked directly or was able to weigh in on, I could read the email, see that and open the page, if not, I could leave it until later or just ignore it. The new one however just says "<user> posted to the forum thread <thread>. <time>" which isn't helpful.
however, b) is much more of an issue - specifically that on the old system, I would get 1 notification about a new post to a thread and wouldn't get another until I'd been on MTGS. I subscribed to the modern Melira Pod thread about 6 hours ago. I've had 12 notification emails since then and the timestamps on them are like 2 minutes apart. I don't mind getting an immediate notification that a thread has new content, in fact I prefer that, but when I get an email from the same thread at 20:06, 20:08, 20:12, 20:20, 20:21, its too much. And considering the option to remove our control of posts per page was taken for reasons of server load, I can't see how sending what will probably amount to hundreds of emails a minute will ease server load vs the old single "this thread has new content" email.
go to your profile settings, thats an option to combine them all to daily emails instead.
I had the unfortunate experience to deal with Curse previously - when they bought out the FFXIVCore forums a few years back. They ruined it with their 'makeover', then killed the entire website just before FFXIV relaunched and the game got its popularity back. I will not be party to Curse ruining another website - I'm gone.

Quote from Philonous »
If they reprinted tabernacle and the set symbol was a ***** riding a ICP hatchet man, I think I would get over it.
I will say the biggest annoyance for me is the lack of having everything at 60 ppp. I would gladly sacrifice speed for the ability to have everything at 60 ppp. It's just so much simplier to read threads and surf at 60 ppp compared to 25 ppp where I feel like I have to go to the next page a lot more (which I guess is technically correct, but I digress).
I just made a post and the timestamp when it got posted was "3 minutes from now". I don't know whether this is caused by comparing server and local times or something, but again, please, please change the relative timestamps to absolute ones.
Also,on the new content page, everything past the first page is being treated as old - the icons are grey and the new posts link doesn't appear. Apologies if this is related to the problems with marking as reading and is already being sorted.

This a thousand times over. Please do away with relative and use absolute. The old site's time stamp format was ideal.

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.
TL;DR Theres a crapload of information and advertising trackers on here, moreso than the original forums. I understand that you need to earn a revenue, but 35 odd trackers with various companies collecting data on the users of MTGSalvation? For a card game forum, thats just plain insane.
Your thoughts?
Yeah its bull*****, the website certainly didn't improve.

Idk if this is the right place to put this but I really dislike the new card image tab. The biggest reason I joined this site was cause of how I liked how the new card spoils was presented and that it had the links to the sources of the card being spoiled and links to the forums which the new card were being discussed.

I don't like how the new trading/sales threads are going to be. When looking through a larger trade/sale thread it was nice that there could be two columns to look at whereas now it's just one long wall of text. It also seems the itrader searching was better than what there is now. The new layout reminds me of tf2outpost and other digital item trading which works great for video games, but I feel the older system was a lot better for tangible items.
Edit: It also appears I can't select a DCI or Judge promo as the set from a card in the list of cards when making a thread.
Apparently, smilies next to other punctuation seem to fail. :no:" and :)) are the ones I've seen
Edit: Ixias, the spoiler will be handled amazingly. When there's a new set being spoiled, you'll get to see it at its full potential. It looks similar to the old version, but it's functionality is waaaaaaay better. What you're seeing now is the full card list added to the rest of the card lists. Now that you mention it though, we do know a pair of lands for JOU... so we COULD start it's spoiler...
How will set spoilers be handled in the future? All I see now is a list of cards in BNG, and the only two options are really poor IMO. Either I get a full listing of the cards text with a picture, or I get basically no information. I'd like it if there was an option to see it like it was on the old page, with just text. I guess it's not a high priority but it's something I would like. And again, how will it be handled when there are only parts of a new set spoiled? One of the major reasons why I started using mtgsalvation and one of the reasons why I come here so often is (was?) because of the awesome spoiler format. I really liked the links below each individual card too so you could go to the source and see what people were saying about it.
The link now is to the card database, not our spoiler pages. The database itself will almost certainly be added to in the coming weeks, and your feedback will be taken into consideration. Spoilers will be handled in a very similar manner to how they were on the old site, on a very similar looking page. I can't show you an example right now unfortunately, since we don't have any spoilers live. Once the set is added to our database (i.e. when it goes up on Gatherer), we'll swap the banner to show that instead.
Other than that, the new page is really really slow and I have trouble opening threads at all. There is no issue on any other site so I know it's not my internet connection/computer acting up. I can go into each of the forums and sub-forums but when I click on a thread it usually takes like 5-10 seconds for it to load, and most of the time there's an error message and I can't read the thread. That seems to be a major problem, because if I can't read the forums I have no reason to go here.
Have you been having this problem only in the last hour or two? That sounds like a short-duration problem with the database we just had, but if it's been happening for any longer, then it will need looking into.
For instance, there isn't a clean option for "This thread is better suited for [insert other location of MTGS here]"

Centering [box] tags centers everything in the box, too. Gross.
[box] tags can't have their width hard set.
[space]200[/space][space] tags display whatever you put between them and also linebreak.
