Semi-Solution to Card Problem?

[EMARSHE]

Unfortunately the fact that the cards move after a donation is giving me little inclination to give out cards (I dont mind spending the points BUT re-arranging the cards again takes time)

Really?

I've bought cards for other people and it hasn't messed up the order of my cards. I thought it would because buying new cards was how I got my cards ordered in the first place.

I expect to be beta testing a new cards system within this month. It will probably be installed during the forum restructuring.

That's good news!

Oh, that was me at first; I donated a lot, happy-slappy, not a care in the world ... then one day Renji and Byakuya became forever separated, and have never been reunited since I don't mind; I still donate, it's not like people don't know which pairings I like * at self*

Though it is interesting that throughout it all, Gwendal and Gunter have never once split apart *d'awww!*

So it seems that for some people, the cards will not move for a long, long time, but trust me, eventually your cards will mix up a bit.

Well, I've to say that I've found a way to rearrange my cards and in this moment they are showed in the order I want. It took me hours to understand this random messy: buy, sell, rebuy, resell... but finally I've reordered them. Btw I think that the system works randomly for each member, meaning that my random messy it's not the same as someone else.
The things that I've noted are:
- if you buy a card, and it messy your order, if you sell this card back you'll have the same order as before.
- my first card is always there, also if I buy new ones it doesn't change position.

*I've to go and check again the notes I've wrote when I've studied the random messy*.

Does this also work for donating or just buying and selling? Because I had real trouble re-arranging the last couple of times I donated cards and with the lagging connection it is too much stress

@Artemis, you were lucky that those two were still showing up in your postbit so it doesn't really matter that much I guess. Unfortunately in my case the cards just jumped around and were giving me a large headache.

Like I said though this system by Fuji works and I will just give points for now instead of cards (though I really prefer to be annonymous)

Actually, I only keep six cards at a time; I have enough points that I can easily change them out for others if I so choose. Of course, this method doesn't work if you have a very popular level 1 or 2 card that happens to be sold out; you had best keep it in your post-bit or risk losing it.

But, one of the reason I suggested this "semi-solution" is because I thought it would be great for less rich members to be able to easily keep only six cards in their post-bit; that way they could be assured of displaying them. And that can easily be done if you're given the full value of the card when you sell it back

It works also with donations. When you sold/donate the LAST card you've bought or received the cards went in the previous order.

@Artemis: sure that's great! Btw I'm not the one that get satisfied with only 6 cards *too much that I like*. And as you said some cards are outstocked or rare ---> Special edition.
I'll add that sometimes I think that 6 cards showed are too little

Something I suspect in regards to the donating is that what usually messes up the card order is if the card you are donating has the same name as another card in your deck. In this case, what happens is that it's likely instead of donating the card you just bought, you are donating the card in you deck from a while ago, so that of course messes up the order.

A way around that, and this is hypothesis only as I haven't had time to test it out, is to possibly keep an open window of the donation page w/ the drop box where you have not bought the new card to be donated yet. Then after you buy that card, open a new window with the donation page and compare the two boxes to see which card truly is the newest one you bought. But... that's just a hypothesis. ^^; Please feel free to yell at me if I'm completely off base here.

As for me, personally, I'm just gonna wait for the new system hahaha *is lazy*.

I've seen that if this happens, if you buy that card again, the order return the same.

Sure I'm waiting for the new system too since if I buy other cards now, all my order will be messed up. I've checked the system-messy only for 15 cards. After that number it works differently.

I agree with you. Although sometimes it's not just of the same name, but of the same card as well, like 2 Lv.3 Byakuya's for example. One you're giving away and one that's yours, it would certainly mess up the arrangement once you've given the other away.

Sometimes it doesn't always disarrange the card order, like if you donate one this day, then another after a few days, although I have observed that if you donate 2 cards on the same day, or one after the other, the cards definitely would move, regardless if you have the same cards with the ones you're giving away or not.
