That could be a cache problem. Hold down SHIFT and reload the browser.

It works!

Go to Rack edit and uncheck the checkbox for 1U Tiles.
Normal Eurorack modules are 3U heigh. 1U does not mean one row. It is the size of the small utility modules that are available.

More a bug test than a comment ...

Content Security Policy (CSP)

This is a security feature which prevents Cross-site Scripting attacks.
Browsers will only execute JavaScript from trusted sources and reject to execute inline Javascript.
The XSS attacks are not a fantasy scenario, ModularGrid is probed by lots of bots every hour.
We had a self made protection from the beginning but this is the official solution.
Side effect: lot's of JavaScript had to be moved/rewritten, so it is possible that one or two functions are broken.

So wouldn't it make more sense to default it to unlisted?
-- reidv

We have that now.

• Make "Show other/unknown Modules" unchecked by default
  -- nutritionalzero

We had that some time ago with the result of users uploading duplicates because they thought the modules where not already in the database. Since we now also have an auto-module search in the upload form, it's worth to try again: I have unchecked "Show other/unknown Modules" by default.

but then one runs into the issue of modules that are definitely available but not labelled as such.
-- Lugia

Yes, that is a problem because we added that label late. Clumsy named: property unassigned shows the modules witch don't have a Product Lifecycle assigned. A thing to fix in cold winter evenings.

Nicer Screenshots

The old screenshot server based on a semi-custom deprecated technology. New server should be a bit faster, makes better quality images and relies on standard technology (Node/Puppeteer) and for that reason is easier to maintain.

PHP7

More server updates. This time moved to PHP7, everything should be faster again.

HTTP/2

Sorry for the hickups, I upgraded the server today. We have HTTP/2 now, it should make the site load a bit faster.

To make that secure from both sides the escrow must handle both the money and the modules which means double shipping costs. MG is in Germany, so that would not work in the US. We don't have a stockroom and I think people would not pay for the additional fees. They are to high in relation to the cost of most used modules.
May be there is a third party service users can use?

It does however look like doepfer use differnt colors than the colors in sketch a patch; http://www.doepfer.de/a100z_e.htm Also the sketch a patch cables seem to have a maximum length, it cycles through colors until they hit black, then stops.
-- clnclnclncln

Top right you can select the color scheme in the Patch Options
There is Doepfer and Stackable, I guess you had selected Stackcable.

Feature idea for unicorn accounts; Patch cable length calculator. Connect two points on the rack and get a recommended minimum length for the patch cable.
-- clnclnclncln

The patch cables change color when you drag them. The color represents the original color of the necessary Doepfer cable. Doepfer cables are color coded by length (at least in 2014 when I build that patch tool).

Check for duplicates on module upload

I have added a realtime search for modules on the upload form. That should help to prevent the upload of duplicates.

I hope this hasn't already been requested, but I'd love to see negative filtering on module functions. For example, I want to search for Attenuators that aren't Polarizers, so I don't get attenuverters in my searches.

If there's already a way to do that, I can't find it.
-- Oldstench

Not possible right now. Workaround:
If you search by function you can set the result search order to Number of Functions ascending. You will get the modules with a single function first, in your case modules that just act as attenuverters and nothing else.

Is there anyway to stick modules together when optimizing the rack space?
-- asdfqwer

Currently not, but someday there will.

And not show any modules.

There is a preference for that under Privacy->Show My Modules
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/users/edit

And why these two out of all the others? Thanks!

The Collection is a special favorite like function.
If you click on the suitcase icon on modules in the module browser that module will be added to your collection. To not have to search for it every time when planning different versions of your modular the modules of your Collection are available under the tab menu My modules.
I guess you clicked on that suitcase icon of the 2 modules not on purpose.

Unicorn users (You, thank you!) can also add every module of a rack to your collection. (Top left navigation: Edit->Add all to My Modules)

What's bizarre is that I've watched it display properly, then not, then properly, then not again for a couple of days now. Tried emailing ModularGrid but no response yet. I mean, it's no big deal, just a little irritating.
-- thelowerrhythm

Cannot reproduce it and still have to check it.
Do you know about the Panel Selector mode? If you enable that top right there appear small arrows on the modules where you can select different panel versions.
To pin down the error: are you using that mode?

In Chrome 68.0.3440.106 I find that if I'm in a rack view and click on any module, keystrokes are no longer accepted by the browser window. Can't reply to posts, can't hit F5 to refresh, can't hit F12 to bring up the dev console.
-- Oldstench

It's a kind of a bug. It happens when the mouse hovers over the rack. Move the mouse away from the rack and the keyboard will work again as expected.

Reverb.com listings

I now we have a lot of ads already but I think this one makes sense:
Reverb.com is a commercial place to buy and sell used gear. They offer some kind of buyer protection, which ModularGrid does not. Their listings for used Eurorack modules are now integrated in the ModularGrid marketplace list and can be searched and filtered like the normal offers.
Any commercial Reverb brand new offers are filtered because the MG marketplace should remain exclusively for used modules traded by private people.
There is no tracking Javascript so they cannot follow you around and you can disable all Reverb offers with a new fancy sliding button.
If you buy something on their site through a ModularGrid link, we will get a revenue.

There seems to be a bug in the module search form.
When you search for modules available in a particular marketplace, the "Secondary Function" field is ignored. Or rather even more complicated, only one of the "Function" fields work.
-- amethyst

Indeed that was broken but should now work again. Thanks for reporting!

And btw. ModularGrid supports PNGs with transparency, so there is no need to add white lines as top/bottom borders.

Regardless of their name 1U tiles don't necessarily share the same height. ModularGrid uses the specs from PulpLogic. They differ slightly from Intellijel 1U modules. For that reason the module graphics for Intellijel must be padded top and bottom in an image editor before uploading them to MG.

E.G. an Intellijel 1U module graphic must be cropped like every other module. After that the image canvas height must be multiplicated with a factor of 1.082.

It seems that Intellijel has uploaded new versions of their modules without the needed padding. I hope that will be fixed, until that you can still use the old images by using the Panel Selector feature:

• make sure Panel Selector is active in the top right action buttons
• hover over the modules and click through the right and left arrow buttons to browse through the available panel versions.

I do not see that option.
-- mikeleebirds

Make sure Panel Selector is active in the top right action buttons.

Something is wrong with the rendering on all the 1U tiles.
-- johnnn

1U tiles don't share the same format. ModularGrid uses the specs from PulpLogic. They differ slightly from Intellijel 1U modules. For that reason the module graphics for Intellijel must be padded top and bottom or the modules will look cropped.

@noeticsound
The issue is fixed.
You will see the right expire date on the receipt if you still support us next year :)

Small fixes

• Top Modules and Popular Modules statistics now contain the Manufacturer names
• Wrong expire date on Unicorn receipt as discussed here

I got the info from the renewal confirmation email. See screenshot.

Thanks that is helpful!
It's like I thought, the value is saved correct in the db but the output in the email is just "today +1y".
Will fix it soon.

You provide an awesome resource for free and a useful set of enhancements for next to nothing. I'm extremely satisfied.

Thanks for kind words!

This is an embarrassing bug I thought I had already fixed some time ago.
Strange thing: I have checked your account. It looks o.k. to me, it will expire on June 27.

I processed my renewal and discovered that my unicorn account is now valid until June 21, 2019

Where did you get that info?

I think (well, kind of hope) it just displays the wrong date but enters the right one in the database. Of course I don't want to cheat you guys.

Thanks for supporting!

You can use Ctrl + C / Ctrl + V to copy and paste between racks on different tabs of the same browser. :)
-- ParanormalPatroler

It's just c and v without the Ctrl though.

I don't interfere with the manufacturers decisions but in this case I have reverted the wrong power specs, because they are potentially harmful.

@modulargrid can we please also edit this https://www.modulargrid.net/e/tiptop-audio-uzeus just because it's no longer available it should not be hidden.
-- ParanormalPatroler

I also have listed the old uZeus again, because I don't think TipTop has unlisted that on purpose. I have sent them another notice.

TipTop has set the manufacturer lock.
I have sent them a message that they should fix the wrong power specs and should revert the image.
If you find other issues: everybody can contact them with the Message button besides the Manufacturer Approved Stamp.

General Data Protection Regulation

I did some changes to better comply with the General Data Protection Regulation GDPR everyone is hammered with these days.
We never have actively collected user data but we use services from Google Analytics and other third party companies I have no idea what they do with the data.

So we have

• a privacy policy
• a link to that privacy policy on every page
• an email setting, where you can turn off the pm email notification
• anonymizer settings in GA and scripts where possible
• the Cookie alert I thought we will never need

To counter data abuse of third parties in the first place I have deleted the Facebook and Twitter social plugins from the homepage. These are just links now.

Now someone tell me I have to send an email to the 38000 MG users ...

No public name calling, please. I have sent you a message.

Since today, all my previous racks are just showing empty cases.

They look ok in command center, but when i choose 1 for viewing/editing,
the racks does not show any modules anymore and i cant edit them. (data sheet is still there)
The top buttons-row for editing just don´t work, except for command center.

Any ideas whats wrong here?

Add: just tested, via mobile seems to work, but via PC won´t.

-- anticitizen1

Your data is still there.
Maybe you have Javascript disabled on your PC? Or some extension that blocks Javascript?
Which browser are you using? Try another browser to check.

I'm unable to find the TrueGrid chickbox. Has it been removed?
-- mortarm

You are the first who recognized it. A change in the current chrome browser made TrueGrid next to unusable.
The TrueGrid project was way too ambitious and the user interface never worked very well.
Since there are tools like https://vcvrack.com/ I thought it did not make enough sense to put more developer effort in it ...
TrueGrid is still there but it is hidden.
If MG users protest I will bring it back, but that did not happen yet ...

Fix: it's possible to delete 1U modules again. This was broken by the zoom button.

One person suggested that maybe it could also be implemented "outside the rack", re: on the list of modules.
-- ParanormalPatroler

Yes, that would be cool, I look into that. First I have to fight the bug that it is now impossible to delete slim 1u modules with the mouse because the zoom button pushes the delete button away

[...] I like the purple colour on the button.
-- ParanormalPatroler

Haha, thanks, I am no designer. So I just rotated the primary blue color in Newtons color wheel by 120° and hoped that the miracle of numbers will get a pleasing result :)

Zoom into Modules in Rack View

We have zoom function in Rack View for single modules. And a corresponding shortcut.
Hover over a module and press z to zoom. The idea came from joem in the MG thread on Muffwiggler.

All messages which are listed in your outbox are in the inbox of the recipient. Even if the recipient did not get an email, he will see them when he logs into ModularGrid.

A missing feature of the ModularGrid Messenger:

It's not possible to reply to ModularGrid messages from your email program. They go to noreply@modulargrid.net, which is a digital trashcan.
You have to log into ModularGrid and use the messenger there.

Request your username

Besides the password reset function you can now retrieve your username with your email address.
Pretty standard, but it was missing.

A lot of people forget their usernames, not sure if that is related to modular abuse.

Select and Copy Entire Row

Are there any plans to address and add this feature?
-- GRK_Astronomer

Currently you can only swap entire rows. Group select is on the list but won't come very soon.

so that we can have non-rackable modular items/accessories outside of the "modular grid case" (clean this mess up!).
-- Trinniti

It won't work well because outside of the rack, modules don't stay in place after a page reload.
The database is modules only. I see that it is a nice touch to track your cable hangers and such, but if we open up the db for things other than modules the database will be full of dreamcatchers, Lucha Libre action figures, japanese maneki-neko and what not.

ModularGrid serves the images in two resolutions depending if you have a "retina" high DPI screen or not.
All images are converted to png, maybe that is the step where loss in clarity occurs.
You can try to upload the image as png to prevent the conversion. Opacity will be preserved btw.
The module does not look too bad for me on my computer.

@EmilAxing
You can search in your collection like in the ModularGrid database. If you reset the search form, you should see all modules you have added.
You can also add all modules in a rack automatically with the Edit-> Add all to my modules drop down.

Being able to search for people‘s real names would be a great addition.

We don't know the real names of the users so this will be a problem...

Did you know we have a user search function?
If you click on Messages there is a link Find Users. You have to know their MG username though...

I only searched for this on the detail page of a module and these options are not there. I wonder why one can only do this in the module list view.
-- mikeleebirds

That is possible now. There should be a button Add to Collection beside the Add to Rack button on the detail page.
Thanks for pointing out.

We don't have social media functionality on ModularGrid, but we think about at least to add some kind of friend list.

Ah, only if I use a computer?
-- sislte

I thought it works everywhere, but I was wrong:
Rating on the mobile detail page was disabled for mobile phones.
I can not remember why, so I have enabled it again, should work now.

Yep worls alright hovering. It's c and v though, not p. Which I am used to anyway. THx!
-- wiggler55550

Of course it's v! Thanks for correcting, it was even listed wrong in the shortcut descriptions
