Site Updates looking lovely!
TappedOut forum

Just been noticing all the little changes to the UI and layout of TappedOut. Looking very nice and promising so far!
The most obvious change to me first was the inclusion of an arrow on the Featured Decks section of the front page. Its good and gives decks more publicity.
I like the way textboxes glow when they are being used to input things in. I'm also enjoying the use of more appealing buttons that stand out more on user's walls, and the tab layout of things like the 'Wall' and 'Recent Comments'. Its makes navigating a lot more easier and obvious.
Some things I'd like to suggest/change is that perhaps the Featured Decks could auto-scroll after a period of time? It'll not only give decks more attention, but make the front page more 'alive' and appealing.
While the buttons on user's walls look nice and stand out, they do look out of place in contrast to the overall dark design of the site. Perhaps change the way they look into something more darker to suit the background?
Also, the "GO" button on decks to sort out cards seems misaligned. Might want to fix that.
Despite that, very glad to see some work on the site overall. Good job T/O team!
Yeah, that's the only thing I've picked up on so far, as well. Sometimes the card pop up just off the screen, or it's the wrong card (something previously viewed), just doesn't show up at all, or shows up when I'm not hovering over anything.
Other than that, the changes are looking pretty spiffy. +1! XD

I always sound nitpicky when I talk about these things, and today is going to be no exception. Bear in mind that I'm not trying to be negative with this, It's constructive criticism.
BUGS:
On the master page, the Tapped Out logo is on top of the "contact" link.
on Dragon deck2 my comment box is smaller than normal, and some card names have wrapped around.
the "Preview your Comment" button is overlapping the Discussion Options box.
I liked the notifications button better back when it had a number on it.
The bar above the decklist has some controls on it that look out of place.
Your "Card costs and Mana" graphic is on top of the words "Card costs and Mana"
In the "previewing your comment" page the text area is wider than the previewed post.
ANNOYING THINGS:
- the glow around the comments text area is distracting
- I don't like how the facebook and twitter buttons have their own frame.

Also, it would be cool if i could edit my own comments
as far as all the bugs I posted, I'm running firefox 12

Internet explorer is worse, Chrome is better, neither are bug-free

ok i may just be an idiot, but why in the hell cant i adjust card numbers in my deck while in the viewing screen anymore? that was like literally the most appealing interaction for this particular deck building site for me....

One thing I noticed was I can no longer see the card picture when I scroll over the name, Is this an issue that is already being fixed?
