Why 'Library of Leng'?

Originally, the site was created specifically for Magic: The Gathering decks created for MTGPlay (an online player). 'Library of Leng' is a card from that game. I chose it because Libraries are repositories of knowledge; in a sense, this is to be a 'library' of decks. Out of the Libraries in the game, I liked this name (and art) the most.

Does the Library of Leng only support MTGPlay?

For the original version, this was true. However, the Library was updated in March 2005 to allow exporting to Apprentice, Magic Online, and OCTGN 1, then again in 2008 to support OCTGN.net.

What do the Privacy Levels on the Deck Submission Screen mean?

When someone submits a deck, they can assign it a Privacy level. By default, decks are Public, but there are higher privacy levels present, as described below:

  1. Public: Anyone viewing the Library of Leng can see this deck.
  2. Members only: Only logged in members of the Library of Leng can see this deck.
  3. Friends Only: Only members of the submitter's friend list can see this deck (friend lists are a new feature being worked on).
  4. Private: Only the deck's submitter can see it.

The site looks weird. What's gone wrong?

This could be one of two things. One possibility is that you have accessed the site during a style update. The other possibility is that your Browser does not fully support CSS. The site is designed to be reasonably accessible (I'm still learning though) and works perfectly well in Firefox 1.0+. Here is a list of known problems:

  1. Internet Explorer(Windows, version 6+): Card Previews do not appear on rollover of links.
  2. Safari(Mac OSX): Login form background images do not appear.
