If you think you have the skill set to pump out some great content people will enjoy, even if it isn't always consistent, we may still have room! There have been a lot of applications so far, it's likely we'll be okay bringing on a few people with less than perfect schedules that just want to help out since we'll have plenty of weekly contributors as well. =D
Seriously though, thanks everyone for the interest so far!
There were no datamined details for a Frost Festival this time around. It is possible they could always just reuse stuff from the year before, but yeah, they never made an announcement about the event and they've been very good at announcing events in recent times.
That issue I was having with items on the navbar wrapping to two lines is back again since you added the bell. I suppose if you don't want to just increase the width, you could chop long usernames, and replace the end with an ellipsis.
Damn, you're one character too long. Guess we'll have to rename you.
I'll find a fix for it, I'm sorry for not checking with your name exactly. It'll all be so much better once we get the site name out of the nav, giving us some extra space.
Was not intentional that they got sorted by new first - direct messages should be oldest->newest like forums.
One thing though that is different about direct messages compared to other types of content is that we'll always display the original post at the top of pages of replies, as a reminder to the subject of the message, so that part won't change - at least not yet.
Will have a deploy out before next reveal to fix that issue (ETA <15mins).
Edit: I lied, we're gonna deploy AFTER the card reveal.
Developer Note: Sorry this took so long! Next comment update will let you choose how you want to sort them. No ETA.
Notifications can now be accessed via the navigation.
Developer Note: This is an initial implementation for notifications. We don't currently let you choose stuff you can subscribe to, that's a future thing.
You'll get notifications when someone responds to something you've created. Deck authors, expect a notification for every deck comment!
People replying or quoting you will trigger a notification.
You'll also get notifications for achievements earned. Don't worry about these for right now =)
We'll eventually let you see the latest 3-5 notifications via a dropdown on any page, for easy access.
Changes
Expansion pages now display 2 cards per line for most mobile devices. Save those fingers!
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue where the navigation would fail to load correctly on some pages.
Fixed an issue where comments were causing issues loading some pages due to a bad deploy.
Fixed an issue preventing comment jumping from going to the correct comment.
Notifications are almost there. We've got a few things to tweak with them and we'll let you have access to them. Achievements are backlogged a bit further -- card reveals have been disturbing development zen.
We did just discover an issue with javascript breaking on certain pages due to comment quotes and a fix for that will be arriving soon. That may have been the culprit for votes as well though I do know voting sometimes gets funky after you've replied to or quoted a post - a proper fix requiring a bit of a js rewrite for our voting stuff.
If you do encounter any issues with voting, or any interactivity. Make note of the page it failed to work on and check your developer console (F12) to see if there are any errors. Try refreshing the page and seeing if the error still occurs. Let us know how things go after that, making note of any specific errors greatly helping us track down issues.
Simply put, we don't have elements of the site designed with the "official" images in mind without resizing them - an extra step in the process, plus, we're just going to generate them all via the client anyway when the patch drops so as long as our placeholder images are "great enough", we're happy. Though I do know we're missing set icons on our currently generated cards, it is being looked into so we're fixed for the new set.
Knowing their plans with the card gallery though, it's likely we switch over to it for the next reveal period and I've already made some progression with it during the late night card reveals where you get 50 minutes between cards to work on stuff. With that said, they're not always on time with updating it though so Hearthcards is always going to be the go to until we have our own manual card rendering system in place.
This is an awesome idea. I give it a 5/7 , absolute perfect score.
Thanks, so I don't know if this is the place to ask, or if you have a road map of what's coming to the site, are the design competitions coming back?
And with that question, could it be possible to implement a custom card bank onto the site, and along with that, do a card of the hour (because there'd be an abundance of cards) similar to Hearthcards.net? Just curious.
We don't have a roadmap, yet. What I can tel l you though is card design competitions are going to come back better than we ever did them before. We will allow users to store their custom cards on the site and even eventually let people tag them with custom sets and such so it is easy to present them to other people. That will tie in to card design competitions and probably also expansion design competitions when we figure out exactly where we want to go with those. The biggest goal though for fan creations stuff is to make it as fair as possible. I was hoping we'd have something out for it already but unfortunately there's a ton of stuff to do still. It's close though, some initial work has been done =)
But yeah, card of the day is something that we'll get done, likely sometime before the next adventure comes out since we have most of the cogs in place to make it happen now.
My assumption is they don't like the direction Activision forced the company. We'll have a better idea of whether or not that is accurate if Mike Morhaime (or Frank Pearce) starts a new studio in the next few years or joins other ex-Blizzard folks elsewhere.

Nothing has been made official about the adventure yet. Expect the same pricing as Dalaran Heist imo.
Keywords over expansions also sounds like something fun to automate.

Yeah it was pretty unfortunate. But hey, I'm here to wait for cards for you guys so you don't have to. =)

Yup, definitely gonna need to try out some Wild fun when this expansion launches.

Salty AF.
Card reveal for 2 AM didn't get revealed and now it's almost 2:30 AM. =/

No plans on removing it. Making it different was the goal, it attracts attention to it.
San Diego Comic-Con
No stream unfortunately. We'll have em up as soon as possible though we don't have anyone on the floor from the staff.
