Help using decks better

My party and I like the deck system or at least the idea of the deck system. But its always a mess when we try to use it. We are using a sort of event deck (the shadowfell D&D cards) and well I  put it on infinite cards so it would never get used up, but still thee is something wrong. It seems like its all the time running out of cards anyway. The players aren't getting cards in an even manner. Getting rid of cards is hard. I can't take the cards from players. And people are having trouble zooming in on cards and viewing each other's cards.

Help please.

Can you post a screenshot of your deck's configuration?  That will help in tracking down what might be the issue.  Some of the other problems are probably more along the lines of just the way the user interface is setup.  Are you trying to gather all the cards, or just specific ones?  In my games, I have the players drop the card on the table to get rid of it, then I just delete it (though I suspect with recent changes, they would be able to do the delete themselves).
What do you mean by configuration?

I think this is what Aaron is looking for.

For the 'infinite' element, I have found that the cards aren't classed as always in the deck, I assume to prevent the same card showing up many times in a row for a smaller deck... however, when the deck has run out, or even when it has run out of the ones you want, a simple 'shuffle' of the deck will restore all of the cards that have been used thus far without undoing any of the ones that have been dealt out yet.

To view cards you should just be able to click on the players 'hand' then click on the card (making sure to avoid the centre where the 'steal' option lives) and it should put an enlarged version of it on the screen in much the same way as pressing 'z' does for a token.

If the cards have been played onto the table top then the 'z' shortcut or 'ctrl(cmd for mac)+z' DM shortcut should work?
