Reduced the filter to 25%. That should bring the color back in your life! For every new member complaining I add additional 5% until we hit 200%
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
Since I guess there will be some problems and issues let's discuss them here and not in the change log thread.
The new Page Layout, while in darkmode, applies a filter: grayscale(50%) on every image. Is this intended?
Because it makes the page and especially the module pictures and your rack look really washed out.
-- temp_hill
What do you think, should that be reversed or tamed down?

Hey @Modulargrid,
The new Page Layout, while in darkmode, applies a filter: grayscale(50%) on every image. Is this intended?
Because it makes the page and especially the module pictures and your rack look really washed out.
-- temp_hill
Hey, yes that is intended to tone the contrast in images down. I am collecting some more feedback and then maybe reduce the filter/find a better solution..
Edit: made a new thread for discussion: https://www.modulargrid.net/e/forum/posts/index/9974
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
We have updated the page layout slightly. The CSS is modernized and the page should look better on mobile devices and on very large screens. We have tried to keep the bootstrap look and also kept all the buttons on their sometimes weird places.
The homepage, rack view, rack edit and user view changed the most.
Data on the module detailpage is restructured and includes ideas from Roey from Play Think Make.
Top requested and finally here: Darkmode exchanges the bright white background against a darker tone which might be more pleasing to the eye, especially on late evening module research missions.
On most Apple devices darkmode can be switched on and off in the System Preferences (General -> Appearance on MacOs), so if you have darkmode enabled for your OS it will automatically be enabled on ModularGrid too.
Of course it can be manually set in your user preferences (https://www.modulargrid.net/e/users/edit)

We don't change data when the lock is set by manufacturers. But if the manufacturer does not respond I will remove the lock.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
Mostly. There's still issues, though, most notably when a manufacturer discontinues a module and they don't bother to come back and change that module's MG listing. [...]
-- Lugia
Sure Lugia, I am aware of the problems. What users can do currently if they see a locked module with off specs:
Click on the Message the Manufacturer button besides the manufacturer stamp and remind the manufacturer to refine the data or unlock the module.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
I have added Dannysound to the manufacturer list and reassigned the modules.
would it be possible instead of only adding manufacturers when they request it to also allow the addition of Manufacturers when requested by a user
-- JimHowell1970
Sure that is already possible. The only reason I prefer manufacturers to register themselves is that they can get a manufacturer account and set the Approved by manufacturer lock which mostly improves the data.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
Not sure if it will work with the height but you can try.
Whatever you do please set the Do not list this module flag when uploading.
Mods will delete the "modules" if they appear in the browser.

Some users didn't like the ads and I understand that.
Unicorns now have the option to hide the ads.

Everyone has an opinion about advertising. This opinion strongly depends on the role in which one encounters the topic.
We tried to make the ads as relevant as possible but we understand that some users don't want to see it, especially those users that support the site with the Unicorn account.
I have deployed a new option for Unicorn users to disable and hide most of the ads:
Unicorns can chose to display/hide the ads on the user settings page.

Multiple systems on one page will not come for several reasons.
But maybe as a workaround you can open two systems in different browser windows and use c und p shortcuts to copy/paste modules from one browser window to the other.

Just a reminder that ModularGrid is not the place to discuss politics. The new UK Option is not a political statement.

You cannot rate random people anymore by accident, you have to send them a message or have received a message from them.
UK is not part of EU anymore.

United Kingdom is now a new option in the marketplace selector. All existing UK offers are moved to the new option.
I hope it will work with the Reverb offers too, that needs a couple of hours.

Did anybody else have messages disappear from their inbox?

There is a bug that might "hide"messages when they appear on the second message page of the pagination.
As a hotfix I have extended the display of messages to 500 per page. Does that help you?

If we could have a "date created" for builds (ie: the date when the build was started with an empty rack) along with the "last modified" date, that would be a big help in going back thru older builds I've got to clear space.
-- Lugia
Sadly we don't store the rack creation date, and I guess it is a bit late to start with it :(
However we have the Rack Id which kind of mimics creation date. I have sorted the racks in descending order by id in the users view https://www.modulargrid.net/e/users/view
And I have added the modified date to that table, i hope that is a good compromise.
@lugia -- I remember a long post you made a while ago called something like "Why you shouldn't get into modular". This should be a sticky in the forum. Does that count as a feature request?
-- the-erc
I have stickied that thread. Happy new year everyone!

That is more a Safari bug than a ModularGrid bug, but I have made a walkaround so that it is possible again to upload module, pedal images and user avatars in Safari 14.

We now have the option to disable the shortcuts entirely. Find the button top right where you can enable/disable Popovers, Space Guides, Panel Selector.
Message me, if it is not working for you.

There are some nice keyboard shortcuts like copy, paste, duplicate, etc. in the planner.
But unfortunately users reported issues where the shortcuts interfere with the search form.

I keep an eye on that Kosmo format and also the AE system. It's quite an effort to create a new format in the planner, so there must be more than just a few people to use it.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
The , and . move module functions are quite nice. And copy/paste even works between browser windows so you can plan 2 racks at the same time. But unfortunately there is an unsolve problem with the focus of the search input field that can cause mixed up racks and swear words.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
How about that option of disabling all keyboard shortcuts except the copy (Ctrl-C) and past (Ctrl-V) options as the only two?
-- GarfieldModular
I think the option should disable at least all destructive shortcuts. Paste and cut belong to it.
But I am in favour to just disable everything. It bugs me a bit that I never got it to work reliable.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
O.k. I look into it.

In the Edit menu on the rack planner page is a new entry called Clean up the mess!.
That function indeed cleans up the mess by deleting all modules that are placed outside of the rack.
It's a requested feature by a heavy user who was tired to delete the modules one by one.
Beep, Bopp, Bleep: info@modulargrid.net
Yo I am no official speaker, but the feature of having multiple frontpanels consolidated into 1 module is already
included on modulargrid funnily enough.
Yes, we have that Panel Selector. It steps through all uploaded panel versions of a module.
Maybe it should be more prominent.
When you upload a new photo it will replace the old one, but the old one still is not lost.
For every upload a new version is added.
Other people who have set their module image to HEAD version (default) will see your newly uploaded image.
HEAD means: always show the newest image.
If they switch to an older version it will stick there, newly uploaded images will not affect their racks.
Is there the possibility of adding a class to the taxonomy of modules, where one module becomes the 'parent' module
-- aarontw
We also have a consolidation feature for modules for moderators, which adds up all ratings, collections, marketplace offers...
But the problem is the image versions of the module that gets consolidated will be lost so consolidation must happen early. It's difficult ...

On the rack builder page there is a new tab menu entry Builders's Notes beside the Comments tab. This is a private text area where you can add and edit notes related to your rack build. Builders's Notes is a Unicorn feature.
The Sketch a Patch section has a new cable color system available: Rainbow
The color of the cables is not defined by length like in the Stackable and Doepfer systems.
Instead the colour is assigned automatically in order one after another in series as you lay them out. 12 colors are available.
This should make it easier to follow complex patches.

The images in the module browser are now in WebP format. That should decreases file size and load time by more than 30%.
WebP file format is supported in most browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Edge). Browser that cannot display WebP (Apple Safari) will get jpgs as before.
If everything looks good we will probably also change the modular builder to use WebP images.

It looks like the transfer went well!
I am still fighting with some compatibility issues of the new database software but it should be quite stable soon.
I do have one hiccup to report; may or may not be related. I've been using the Pedal section as much as the Eurorack lately but I can't seem to create new pedalboards now. Once I enter the specs and click "Save", I get the message "An internal error has occured".
No doubt you'll get it sorted, just wanted to let you know! Keep up the great work!

Today 29.06 ModularGrid will move to a new server. I set the site to "read only mode" so people can read data but not write into the database to prevent any data corruption during migration.
IP address will change so it might take up to a day depending on DNS cache to see the new site.
I try my best to not screw it up. Wish us all luck.
