Remember when MTGNews did their 2005 site redesign, and people hated it so much that, within a month, almost the entire user base of MTGNews had migrated over to MTGSalvation?
My own two cents: thank you thank you thank you for putting the "Trading Post" tab at the top. I always found it super annoying to have to scour the forums just to find the trading/sales section. The placement of it is perfect. If I find any bugs with anything I will let you all know. However, the new site looks cleaner and it feels like it loads faster (? or maybe it's just me).
Okay, so now it shows my first post in my Primer - but it shows it after my second post. This is pretty unacceptable. My Primer is there as a resource to other Kaalia lovers and fanatics, and with it out of order the only way to fix that is to start a new thread? Then I lose all the amazing discussion, topic views, and replies that makes my contribution to the community so reknown and respected.

Its obviously a bug when it has #2 as the first post Added to report list
Is there any hope of getting the features that are missing for the beta that are present on the old site added here?
I like the new features, but if we could get the all of the BBcode stuff that would be nice. I also would like skins, I know you guys are busy so even if they don't hit right at launch just as long as you can give us some info on weather or not they will come.

thats the whole reason we have a feedback page. We have been adding more and more things. We also have a doc with close to 60 items (some bugs, some more things to be added)
and one of the main reasons its being moving to cobalt and off VB is we update cobalt weekly. Basically even if something does not get in at launch, we will be updating and adding stuff non-stop. Nothing ends after beta ;P
we have already pushed the beta off to add even more things to make it closer to MTGS
There doesn't seem to be an option to change the size or font of text.
Also images in threads seem to be center by default, with no way to change their location?
I guess when the change happens I'm going to have to relearn the limits of the BBCode and rebuild my primer Gonna take me a fair while
hopefully not - bbcode takes 10 seconds to add to the cpanel and We are going to take a look at the css and make sure ALL primers looks pretty much 1:1 from live to beta.

I do.
You must remember a different universe, then, because MTGNews's design was the same as MTGS's is (even today!), and the cause for that ruckus was something completely different.

Sing lustily and with good courage.
Be aware of singing as if you were half dead,
or half asleep:
but lift your voice with strength.
Be no more afraid of your voice now,
nor more ashamed of its being heard,
than when you sang the songs of Satan.
I'm not sure if this has been said yet or not, but in the Card search page, when you search for cards or are looking for cards, it lists them from different sets as a completely new card. Maybe you could merge those together to show from all sets and prices from sets under one name? That'd be nice.
Also, to me the pages seem to be a little long. Maybe in preferences, you could add an option to change the amount of posts on a page. But after rereading I saw that you're already looking into that.
I like the new replies and quotes, the look very stylized and I do like it a lot.
In the new spoilers page, I like it, I just have one gripe, I spent 5 min looking for p/t on creatures. Then realized it was really tiny in the bottom right of each card. Could that get enlarged a bit, without interfering with the rest of the card?
Last thing I see right now, is just the color scheme, It hurts my eyes a little with the black being a more main color, It's only a minor and personal gripe that I'll eventually get over, but just felt it needed to be said.

The color looks nice, I guess, but it really REALLY doesn't look great with the pure white. Maybe you could make the text box background slihtly less white?
Like instead of 'FFFFFF' you do 'FCFCFC' or something?
What was wrong with nuances of blue? I always thought it made the whole thing visually appealing.
Nuances of white doesn't exactly click with me and most likely the human brain in general.
Colors are a great way to structure things. Bring them back I say.
Also this might be a bit late, but can we get features for custom card creation?
Maybe a fill-in form and things to structure it? Like colored backgrounds for the cards.

For some reason I can't edit my post and when I submitted it I got tons of gibberish instead of this thread.
Can't be bothered to look the known bugs up so I'm just saying it here. Deal with it. Heh.

I don't know if its just my device (phone) or the site so anyone willing to respond would be nice, but this site isn't too "mobile friendly". I end up typing off screen sometimes and in my posts I can't see half my signature. It cuts off just under the heroes of the planes studios links leaving the links to my dear ms completely missing.
Can this be fixed, is it just me? What's going on here??
1 more thing. Will our blogs transfer as well, or are they lost in the aether?
I like the new site. There is only one comment I'd like to make:
I am one of the people who were reporting problems viewing forum threads with the anti-virus software Sophos. Instead of ignoring the thread (or giving a 'Shrug, I dunno' answer), why the hell didn't a moderator step in and say, "Hey, we're working on a new beta, check it out, and if you don't have any problems there, it'll be smooth sailing in a few weeks/couple of months!" The beta triggers no problems with Sophos, FWIW.
So I guess my statement really is that with the 'fresh start' I hope the mods will genuinely help with real problems with the zeal that they issue infractions.
Mana symbols don't seem to work. Don't like the "Spoiler" button either. "Click to show/click to hide" are gimmes. Most users already know what these do.
In the New Post typing area: looks like the pictures for the buttons for things like card tags and other tags are getting cut off, like the table data cell is too small.
Is there an arrow that appears when you click on the spoiler button? Don't like it. Looks weird and is unneccessary.
Don't like the online status covering my avatar. This seems especially distracting when it covers an animated avatar.
Can't say that I like the color scheme either. The whole site
just doesn't seem like MTGS anymore, especially with the prevelance of Curse.com stuff everywhere. What is that? I think I heard they own the site now, but still, I really don't give a sh*** about Curse or any of their products. Its just another ad to me, and it'll get real old real fast having to look at that ugly stuff at the top of every page. Whatever happened to the old banner?
When I started typing this message by using the Beta Feedback link on the side of this page, my text turned red and the box told me to use plain text... I have no idea I wasn't using plain text.
Preview page cuts off my spoilers when expanded. Don't know if it does this for regular pages.
Loading text after clicking post reply takes much longer and please don't use pac man. Looks dumb.

20 posts per page will hinder my use of this site, and past experiences with similar posts per page tell me it will never be comfortable. I won't up and quit without an alternative site, but if such an alternative came into existence I would need little convincing.
I would prefer user preferences exist again, as I suppose not all members really utilize 40+ ppp, but if that can't be done please increase the ppp a little more. I do appreciate the increase to 20 from 15 (Which would have been low enough to prompt me to actively try to get an alternate site set up), but it is still very low.
I'm sure I will enjoy some of the new features, but low posts per page is an issue I will encounter every single session.

I will miss post titles, but I'll live with it.
I think black text looks better on this background than the standard color, but that might just be a personal preference.
Just checking in again to let everyone know that we're actively monitoring these threads and adding to a (quite large) list of bugs and features. We appreciate all the feedback!
I was just thinking that the developers must have mobile in mind with this site, because nothing is lining up right while in front of a PC.
Way too much 'dead' space.
Icons overlapping.
Slow load times (compared to the original)
Non-user friendly tools for deckbuilding.
Poor display of decklists
It pains me, but I think I'll be looking for another site in which to post my decks when MTGSalvation switches over...
I do.
