Numerous Issues Which Need to be Addressed.
TappedOut forum

Issue number one is the token issue. It's been about a month now since I finished the token database (have not updated it for BFZ yet) and yet none of the images are appearing in the playtester.
Issue number two is the set pages for BFZ not showing any cards beyond the first batch that I had initially put into DDP. The same goes for EXP.
Speaking of DDP, this is issue number 3. DDP is incorrectly displayed as DZE, and the release date is wrong. I've posted time and time again of these simple errors that can be fixed within a few seconds and yet they haven't been done.
Issue number 4. I remember this being brought up many months ago, but wasn't addressed. When constructing a cube, we have the option to change how many cards of each rarity appears in a pack. However, everytime you go to edit the cube, these numbers reset and you have to go back and change them, resulting in an irritance to the user.

I wouldn't say they're not important, but they are things that certainly could be improved to help the site. I've noticed the same cube issues and since moved my cube list and such to another site.
At the same time, I do know this is just a hobby site and not ultra pressing things the powers that be need to make priorities over real life. The site is still great and largely community driven and these are all extras I'd say.

The token thing is actually super annoying.

I don't imply anything TurboFagoot. They need to be addressed, like any bug. Some of these have been reported by either me or others with no recognition from yeago or anyone else. The token one wasn't as I was waiting to see if it was something to do with the cache, but I believe it has been long enough that the cache can be ruled out.
I recommend you don't try to assume too much by what isn't actually presented. That causes for far too many misconceptions and issues on this site.

I'm just saying, the fact that numerous staff are aware of them and aren't acting on it probably means they aren't as important as you think.
The sun is going to rise and set all the same whether or not people have digital tokens on an MTG website.

How do you know that yeago is even aware of it when he never responds to the threads that he acknowledges the issue?
And why do you assume that I'm making a big deal out of this? A bug is a bug and needs to be reported. Hell I could be putting a LOT more bugs into this list but these are more important than the others (which only have to do with the alters database).

It's all about tone; urgency.
"Numerous Issues Which Need to be Addressed."
A title like this communicates a lot of urgency. Benign little bugs really don't need to be solved with such immediacy. Most companies have a long list of known bugs they fix.....eventually.
Only reason I even raise the issue is that Yeago does a lot for everyone, making the site and all. Pestering him about bugs while he's already doing work isn't great form.
Especially things like this "I've posted time and time again of these simple errors that can be fixed within a few seconds and yet they haven't been done." Get over yourself lol

I know very well how much stuff yeago does for this site, I also know that he has his own job and is really busy. But this does not excuse the lack of public documentation that every other site, program and videogame has available to its users to see. We never know whether something is "on the list of things to do" because he only replies to certain threads.
Here's just one example from my early days of working on the card database, where the biggest issue were the submissions. Accepted card submissions wouldn't be applied to the database until a month after they were accepted. This would apply to every single submission that wasn't the first. So if someone got a lot of information wrong on the initial submission, tough luck! Nothing could be done about it. This went on for I believe from MMA till M15.
I've confronted him about this, the changelog and updates thread are certainly improvements but he hardly uses them. He knows this is a problem of his but he doesn't do anything about it. It would save us the frustration wondering why certain things aren't being done and would inform us of issues he's acknowledged, and the improvements and suggestions he's taken into consideration.
If he doesn't want to create a list, either because he doesn't feel it is necessary or because he feels that he doesn't have the time; I'll do it for him so he can check on it on a regular basis.

Ahh well that's the thing, you're expressing (and feeling) so much frustration because you put way too much stock into these issues.
Yes, other companies have a bug list the public can view. TO doesn't. To this I say "So what?".
A lot of the issues you bring up I (And others I've spoken to) have never experienced in using the site. Obviously that's just anecdotal evidence, but even for someone who uses this site these things can be borderline irrelevant.
Would it be nice if everything was solved? Sure. Should we badger a busy man who has other priorities? No. Should we just turn over the keys to the site to any random user who wants to help? Also no, who knows what changes someone could make.

Obviously neither of you are goin to agree. Instead of antagonizing and trying to diminish what someone else thinks is important or not important why don't we talk about the prerelease this weekend? Something a little more positive? Sounds like fun to me.

...Why would you discuss a prerelease in a topic dedicated to website bugs?
Sorry for trying to have a relevant discussion.

Because the OP was about bringing those bugs to light instead of shitting all over the importance of the bugs.
It was a more polite way to say "let people address what needs to be said. If you don't have anything productive to say then just move along"

It's less about the importance of bugs, and more about getting off Yeago's back all the time like OP seems to be.

"Need to be addressed" implies any of these are at all important.
