Re the Preview feature in the new Deck Exchange:

1) The card images are WAY too small, only about 1 inch in height (on my 17 monitor). I tried to see if I could resize that far right pane, that didn't work. Also tried maxing it with the plus sign, that didn't work either. Am I missing something? Or can you resize that section so we can see the cards better?

2) I appreciate the fact that this new feature allows us to see more than just two sample cards. But because it works in real time, it can take forever to get from one card to the next. This may not be true for users with high-speed internet access, but for those of us with dialup, it's waiting ... waiting ... waiting ... Would it be possible to use the new version AND incorporate the old version? That is, allow the uploader to choose 2 card images for immediate display? Perhaps in that wasted space below the image?

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I can certainly think about making the preview window bigger.

Re the time it takes for the preview to appear, it should not be longer than the time it used to take for the two images to appear in the previous version, assuming you are connecting at the same speed. Maybe it just seems that way because the user is conscious of there being a whole deck there to preview, not just two cards? When you go back through the previews you will find it takes no time at all for them to appear, because once they have been previewed they are saved offline.

It would of course be possible to have the old system alongside the new, but I would really prefer to get the new way working to everyone's satisfaction. If it turns out that there are issues with the new system that can't be resolved though then obviously that is something I may have to do.

Cheers
