Aye. I'd generally recommend people don't just embed the art URL of a source image from somewhere random on the internet, but instead upload it to a server you control or a reliable image repository like imgur.

All the more reason to host my own images...

2014-08-13 05:58:01: Alex commented on Malware Warning

Should be fixed now.

Turned out that the image that jmgariepy had used when creating Challenge # 074 (a Jolly Roger) was hosted off some random site on the internet which went down then got took over by evil people. It's very unlikely that visiting Multiverse actually infected anyone with anything, because it was just trying to access a jpg file from that site, and from the src attribute of an img tag, so unless there are any more vulnerabilities in JPEG parsing you should all be unaffected.

I edited Challenge # 074 from the database interface to remove the image.

Alex is a chessmaster. He's been playing the long game. A very, very long game.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYIN TO PULL HERE ALEX!?

2014-08-12 19:50:51: Alex commented on Malware Warning

Whoa. Don't see many black issues in this set. I suspect it's just someone's got some card art from that site, but I'll look into it.

You're welcome to, but it's possible I might actually not be able to get it into Multiverse myself either...

2014-08-12 12:04:56: jameschanlee commented on csv importing error

No problem. Mind if I email you a CSV again? :)

2014-08-12 12:01:30: Alex commented on csv importing error

Bother. Sorry. You're right. This is a nasty bug that I haven't been able to track down.

bother, yes, this is a bug

The problem is that Gatherer has one comment and rating per person. Here, the same person can comment many times, so it doesn't work as well.

2014-07-24 09:56:40: keflexxx commented on Community Ratings

my thoughts

you could tie the review to a comment, much like in gatherer. not sure how they do it there, but if you make it mandatory then you minimise the level of junk ratings received and you can tell why one specific person rated you poorly.

I was wondering why people were making gold-framed hybrid cards.

I wouldn't mind a like button, especially fit comments, but I'm not a huge fan of the idea of a point rating system. I fear people would use that in lieu of commenting.

2014-07-08 03:58:01: jmgariepy commented on Community Ratings

Personally, with the amount of people that use this system, I think the only way to do this is with a basic 'like button' method, with no 'dislike button'. That at least gives you an idea of what people are interested in, but doesn't throw weird statistics at you (i.e., just because person X don't like Lightning Bolt, doesn't make it a two-star card. Nor, does it deserve a thumbs down, with none up.)

Mind you, I mention this only because I think it's the only real way to get a tangible result with such a small data pool... not because I personally like the idea. And just to be my own devil's advocate, there are a few sets where there's enough people looking that giving it a star rating would probably be fine. Duel Decks: Star Craft comes to mind.

The truth is, though, both ratings and likes wouldn't tell you why a person liked or disliked the card, which is the whole point in getting feedback. '3 out of 5 people think this card is too powerful' isn't very useful data, if you're unsure why people feel that way.

Oh, and just to argue with myself again: Yeah, if it did work, I think it would be pretty cool.
