I'm trying to make my official VCL posts in purple

Unfortunately, VCLs do not currently have the tools necessary to take moderation actions directly. VCLs submit their actions to ORCs, who then actually perform the action. This processing can take between a few minutes and several hours, depending on how busy/attentive the ORCs are.

If you see something that needs VCL attention, please use this thread (MTGO) or this thread (paper) to make a request and a VCL will look at it as soon as possible. CoC violations should be reported to Customer Service using the "report post" button. Please do not disrupt the thread by making requests of either kind in-thread.

The filtering options in the collection view seem not to combine well. For example, if I choose Pauper, Standard, and Uncommon, I get 381 results in my collection, many of which have never been printed as a common, and therefore should be excluded by the Pauper filter.

Minor UI bug: At the Home screen the next two featured tournaments are presented in a black box. One can click on the whole line of a tournament (and not only on the details button) which will make the text 'invisble' (black on black I assume).

Hello,
I am having trouble installing the new beta client.

I am running Windows 8 Release Preview (build 8400) and when I run the setup.exe and it reaches 100% (115 of 115 MB downloaded) it prompts me with the message:

Cannot Start Application
Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.
It has 2 options, OK and Details...

When I click details, I see an error log that I have attached as a photo below.

Edit: I have tried running it using compatibility settings, run as administrator etc, etc but nothing of that works...
Hope you can help

The Sneak Peek client is not currently compatible with the Windows 8 Release Preview.

Filtering: Split cards are considered colorless (even if monocolor)
Viewing: Split cards are considered to have 0 manacost
Double Face cards are also considre to have 0 manacost

Example:
filter by "Green and White and Colorless", all split cards appear
sort by "CMC" split and double face cards appear among the lands

Clicking "Go to the next game" hangs the client after loading settings and selecting a deck.

My first 2hg has just finished. The following things went wrong:

1) while filtering for games, the game showed a deck under "invalid decks" and "modern decks" but not under "classic decks". The classic game I joined readily accepted the deck (which is in fact legal for classic). Appears the filter is not perfect yet.
2) Play order is bottom-left, bottom-right, top-left, top-right. The positions of the teammates are horizontally mirrored.
3) I had to search my deck and the deck window did not appear. I moved my teammate's floating hand and suddenly I see the deck window moving in sync and coming up from outside the viewport!
4) (minor) F8 does not work, but selecting "no possible play: yield all" (only possible if you actually have no plays) works, however only for exactly one turn.

The back side of a double sided card has the CMC of 0. The "problem" with the preview version is just that now you see the other sided in your collections (before you just get to see the front sides).

The article advised us not to use the Go to next game option since it will crash the client.
