I think I should comment and rate cards to get that going.
So far there aren't enough comments.
Also, would it be a good idea to post other cards that would combine well in the comments?

http://gatherer.wizards.com still points to the old link. Is that going to change soon or do we still need to use the beta link?

Hi,
The new URL has propagated; this sometimes takes time at the DNS level. You should be able to use http://gatherer.wizards.com/ from now on (although links today might still say beta.gatherer.wizards.com when pointing to the new one, and that alias will still work).

Well it is still showing the old site now, but I'll just change my bookmark to the new site. Weird how I am actually in your neck of the woods and this is not changed yet

I'm getting "The page cannot be found" 404s from all the autocard links in the forums too.

Hey Guys,
Yeah, sorry about delay. The DNS change is still trying to propagate through things. I made sure everything was setup correctly on the network side of things. Several different locations have updated, some haven't yet.

Mainly, there should be some parsing and redirection of old links. The majority of site links are very broken now, and shouldn't be so in production. Everywhere on the site are multitudes of links using your script (that needs cleaning, badly): function autoCardWindow(cardname)
{
win = window.open("http://"+gathererBaseURL+"/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name="+useName, windowName, params);
//win = window.open("http://ww2.wizards.com/Gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?name="+cardname, windowName , params); why leave the commented out one?! bloat =\
}
function autoCardWindow2(cardname, set)
Skipping, it is likewise If you change the scripts to point to a new coverter page on gatherer that looks-up id based on name input from url, and then displays the info, it would clean up any issues presently until your site has time to change all links (albeit it would not have to changed). I have not dev'd aspx, (anti-microsoft =p) but php could do this very easily. Also IMO move the page to the same look as the main mtg site. There is this disconnect between the two that needn't be there (unless its for mobile, which doesn't seem to work). Placing it in would give it enough room it appears, maintaining site links and affinity.
Also IMO get rid of the top banner ad, move it to two side adds, side ads aren't as obtrusive. While I agree lotro is "the best fantasy mmorpg yet created" I don't want to log on that again, I want to do some mtg!
Lastly, use a javascript window that is neat and clean, like magelo profiles.

I know this is picky but I'm not a huge fan of the cutup paper edges. I prefer a neat and clean layout.
