Recent updates to Multiverse Feedback: (Generated at 2024-05-14 05:03:44)
Yeah, Thunder Spirit is probably the worst card to put on the Reserved List, in that it's the exact power level and kind of effect they probably wanted to use several times since
I feel you. Maybe this'll help: Feedback Request.
True! This isn't just a Multiverse problem; it's a human nature problem. In your average classroom, the A+ students are rewarded, the F students are either berated or supported, and the B- students are ignored. That doesn't make it right. But it sure can be hard fighting human nature.
That said, I do think this is a Multiverse problem. Because when we're looking through 'Recent Update', we only see the most recent update of one card in each set. This often leads to a pig pile of comments. Something stuck out to one person, and now this one card has a tremendous amount of action dedicated towards it, while the other 10 cards that were designed that day are set to pasture.
So, yes, it behooves all of us to seek out other cards a designer designed. But as soon as we start commenting on another card... even a mediocre card... there will probably be a pile-on. And if the card is mediocre, the pile-on probably won't be about the card itself, but the mechanic in general, which is arguably even less useful to the original creator.
Unfortunately, the only thing that could solve this problem is a complete restructure of the 'Recent Updates' page. I presume that would be hard. And I presume Alex has other things that he thinks would be a more important use of his resources. But if he's interested in a restructure, then so am I.
As an alternative, maybe there could be an easy to access page for cards with no comments (besides the original author's comments.) Possibly showing you one random card at a time, so that the potential commenter is encouraged to focus on cards at random, irregardless of whether they have obvious problems or obvious greatness. I know that if you sat me down and randomly exposed me to even the most benign card... let's say Thunder Spirit... I'd be full of opinions. I'm sure others are the same way.
Interesting.
Awesome
Contact successfully established. Feyd_Ruin is friendly, and both he and I are interested in seeing how we can collaborate to serve the custom card(set) creation needs of both communities together. Sounds good!
Hmm. Yes, this ought to be possible.
For the moment you can always override which frame a card uses by selecting from the "Frame:" dropdown at the top. That allows you to make any card use the token frame no matter what its rarity or (super)types.
I think you can do this with the "Import data" option, which is generally the way to do mass edits to a cardset. Something like this should work:
Formatting line: name%code
Data:
card name 1%
card name 2%
card name 3%
Oooh. Thank you. I'll get in touch.

The concept would be similar to MagicMultiverse with custom card pages, card renders, custom set pages, etc. For every area we expand into, we look to similar sites to see if there's a way to partner and/or collaborate so that we can grow together and support each other rather than compete."
I directed them to your contact info on this site, but if your active on MTGNexus and interested (and they haven't come around to contacting you yet), you may want to message Feyd_Ruin over there.
Mock-ups are usually linked with their cardname, but if I want to get to the card page of a card given as image I need to go over e. g. the Cardlist, Visual Spoiler or Search function.
Check out e. g. reprints here.
Ah, OK, it looks like the unaddressed state is visible to anyone who has permissions to create cards in a set. Which is every signed-in user, for this set, and for Xerex, among others.
Uh? I'm not admin of this set; and I see the unaddressed state of your above comment? I do see the toggle option, though. It also seems to work for me on, say, your set "Xerex, The Planar Labyrinth"
I also like this system; it's vbery helpful for me on my less-active sets to go back and collate a bunch of comments in one go next time I go back to give the set some more love. Though personally I tend to use the yellow-highlight option for my own todo-list.
Feedback: I'm using that system vigorously, so I'm happy it is in place.
My only gripe is that I cannot make the addressed/unadressed state visible to non-admins, because my entire process is based around collecting feedback and after a while getting back to it and it would be nice to let commenters know whether I'm still going to come back to their input.
Ah, so the bug is that you can't shrink a card again if you expand its text twice?
Sure. That's a reasonable bug report.
But can you see how your original wording does not tell me anything like what the problem is? "how much a mess of formatting it is" does not mean the same thing as "Card text has expanded too far so I can't get to the 'Shrink text' link".
Thanks for giving screenshots and more explanation: that was what was needed.
This is the concept of "unaddressed comments". Waayy back when I was designing the site, I had the idea that people would want to keep certain comments as "todo" items, things that they want to act on. Like "Don't you think this needs to be better in combat?" or "Playtesting shows this is too confusing: simplify." The pink-highlighted comments are "unaddressed".
For any given cardset, only that cardset's owners/admins get to see which cardsets are marked as unaddressed: other users just see every comment as white. On a cardset you own/administer, each comment has a button above it to toggle its "unaddressed" status (it'll look like
or 
). Plus, in the big green/blue/red box at the top of each page that includes links like "Cardlist" or "Booster" or "Recent activity", for cardset owners there's a third line that includes "Add details page" and "Cardset options": that also includes "Unaddressed". This is a list of all the comments that are marked pink on that cardset - again, only visible to the cardset owner/admin.
If you decide you don't want to use the unaddressed status (I think most people don't use it), you can edit your cardset's options to change "Enable comment addressing" and "Default comment state".
write up:
I am currently using a laptop with google chrome on windows 8, if you need more specs ill just copy/paste them from my settings..
The problem is a visual issue that occurs when a card with lots of text is expanded twice (first using expand text feature than the subsequent click on expand further). the issue is that it goes off the screen and you cannot scroll, as it stays in position when you attempt to.

ookey i will do that when i get home, im on like two different school pcs thru-out da day
ill do some write up and some imgur links
:)
You do have to give details; because other people probably don't see the same issue.
Start with "In what view" move on to what you mean by "When I expend text" and continue with what version of which browser you are using. Also, of course; what issue you actually see that is wrong. A screenshot would help.
see? pink.
edit: if i moved it between sets it wouldnt be
So basically i noticed that an initial comment is white, while others are pink or whatever
but i moved a few cards over and the pink things became white and dont tell anyone i said that it sounds bad....
anyway just not sure why that happened...
Another vote .
If card is updated or created, show entire card info.
If comment is updated or created, entire text.
Should show user name who performed action.
