Title: Where are decks stored?
Post by: tsul25 on August 05, 2012, 01:54:57 AM
I have an iPhone and an iPad and I have created a deck on my iPad. However, this deck is no where to be found on my iPhone, leading me to believe that decks are stored locally. I think it would be better if they were stored server-side. I'm not quite sure what the benefit of signing in with game center is at the moment, but being able to load your deck from another device would certainly make it useful.

Same with my precious and anything else that would be useful to have synced between devices.

Meanwhile, we sync using Dropbox backup and restore.

Thank you! Oh, and at some point will there be a way to skip to new messages in a thread? Because my big fingers don't like those tiny page buttons and even if I hit the right one I still have to scroll all the way down.

If you go to the forum from a browser (see Help section on how) you can change the settings to display last post first. (it's what I do. )

Err.. Where exactly? The app help section has four articles that don't seem to be what I want. And I can find it in the help section of the forum

Speaking of deck storage.  Is there a way to copy a posted deck to the deck builder......other than manual?  I have had to reset the app a few times and I do not want to re-enter all those decks.  Sounds lazy I know 😜

You could also use this option to Import other people's ideas. Also, a coverflow visualization to the deck on forum would be appreciated

I've thought the same, but then with the comments on the same page and possible notes it might be difficult to do. But if it can be done with out being to hard then it would make it easier for me to help people with decks.

You could do like a normal view option, and a coverflow option(which would get only the first post of the deck/private page thread. Then, you go between easy deck viewing and comments/forum viewing

You will simply be able to load any deck from Gathering to your Deck Builder, so you can use any of the tools there.

It should work on the current version.
