multiple card decks to emulate dice rolls causes complete crash

So here is what I have done: I've created several decks, each representing a type of die: d4,d6,d8,d10,d12 I've chosen a 'card back' as being the highest side on each die and created 'cards' with pictures of that die showing each of the die faces and naming each face '1', '2', '3', etc. When I enable all the decks and draw from any of them, the whole screen freezes and I can no longer select or interact with the campaign at all. Logging out and back in and it is still frozen. I have the idea that the problem lies with my naming each of the cards the same? For instance in my d4 'deck' I have named the cards 1,2,3,4 and say in my d6 'deck' those names are repeated: 1,2,3,4,5,6. Please help?! The campaign is crashed and I can't do anything with it. I'm running Chrome (latest release) on a Ubuntu linux system.

One idea might be to copy the campaign with the decks deleted. That of course should be a last resort if the developers are unable to help you. - Gauss
That did the trick. I'm renaming the cards now to see if that helps.

Happy to help, although really I was suggesting a last resort technique. - Gauss
Renaming the cards did not help. I can 'deal' out 1 die just fine, but if I try and 'deal' a die from another deck I get the error "it looks like you are at the end of the deck..." then it freezes.
dang...even without the error it's not doing what I want. It cycles through the numbers before repeating them, so you can't draw the same card that has already been drawn until all cards are drawn. grrrr. Many games now require you to roll dice, then keep them on the table to show different things. Using the deck feature seemed to be an excellent way to do this, since it places a die token on the board or in a hand with the number rolled visible (each card has a picture of each die side). Well, back to the drawing board. Also, it seems that if I shuffle the decks first, the error does not come back or freeze the screen. EDIT: Yes, the error does not reappear if all the decks are shuffled prior to use. Another problem has cropped up where I get 'phantom dice' in the hands. If more than one deck had dealt to a hand and I try and collect the dice, they do collect, but images are left in the hands that you can't get rid of. And it seems if I shuffle the deck after each draw I can get a true random draw, but this takes a lot of mouse clicks. Maybe having a 'shuffle after every draw' button on the deck properties would be nice ;)

Sent you a PM Bert - Gauss
Is this on Dev or the main site, Bert?
Main site. And again, it seems that if I shuffle the decks before any draws are made, everything is fine.
