I noticed this when I logged in today;

Two ritual gold decks seemingly incidental right down to the revision log, but different numbers.

I changed the title of one to "Duplicate" and BOTH changed. So I changed it back.

Hey Joe. I noticed that as well and figured out that it's the same deck but it was added to collection by two different users at the same time, hence they were side by side. The 'Latest decks' list is just a list of all latest additions to users collections. And each addition to collection gets assigned its own unique number hence we are now on #1917 while there are only 947 decks in the database.

That section should really be called recently added to peoples collection. Same deck, two people added it I have plans to redo the homepage.

so the deck number is the collection key rather than the deck key? ok

Yeah, basically that's correct. I need to make a clearer distinction between decks and collections.

http://playingcarddb.com/carddatabase" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; <-- these are the deck IDs

http://playingcarddb.com/cardcollection?u=1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; <-- for some reason I also list the deck ID here rather than the collection ID

The new layout looks cool - much clearer too!
