Title: Kiss it goodbye!
Post by: Grant Lamontagne on July 13, 2016, 06:08:37 PM
This is it- we are on the cusp of launching an all new forum look!

In a mere 24 hours (or so) the forum will be forever altered to a new theme- and this is not simply for aesthetics!  The new forum is reactive, which means no more need for Tapatalk or a stripped down mobile version!  The forum will automatically reformat itself to whatever device you are using, and you will have all the options available on your tablet or phone that you would have on a desktop or laptop! 

Even better, this is just an update to the theme of the forum, which means we will still be using the same software we have been using for years, just with a new, more functional coat of paint on the whole thing!  All the photos, the function, the history, everything will be the same as it was before, just look better, load faster and work better all around!

The fine folks at Leatherman have offered to help us with this change by giving us a special Multitool.org Edition Coyote Tan OHT to give away!

(https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7247/27450791393_1de3b900f0_k.jpg)

So, post your farewell to the old forum look here and be entered into the draw- as long as the old forum is active, you still have time to enter- once it's gone we'll pick a winner ASAP so we can all get on with exploring the new look and new functions!

Thanks for the giveaway.

It is time for the discontinued model to sail off into the sunset while people stock up on them and make them shelf queens. In the meantime, the new model is upon us to ohh and ahh's. How long will the new model smell stick around? How long will we find ourselves fiddling with it randomly? We will find out tomorrow  :whistle:

Will the mobile version via browser (Firefox) keep our PC Desktop signature, or can we select a separate mobile signature?
Won't miss Tapatalk... thank I've only manned to start one thread from it and can't recall how I did it.

This is it- we are on the cusp of launching an all new forum look!

In a mere 24 hours (or so) the forum will be forever altered to a new theme- and this is not simply for aesthetics!  The new forum is reactive, which means no more need for Tapatalk or a stripped down mobile version!  The forum will automatically reformat itself to whatever device you are using, and you will have all the options available on your tablet or phone that you would have on a desktop or laptop! 

Even better, this is just an update to the theme of the forum, which means we will still be using the same software we have been using for years, just with a new, more functional coat of paint on the whole thing!  All the photos, the function, the history, everything will be the same as it was before, just look better, load faster and work better all around!

The fine folks at Leatherman have offered to help us with this change by giving us a special Multitool.org Edition Coyote Tan OHT to give away!

I really like using Tapatalk, but you have to love a website with responsive design!!  I can't wait to see what it looks like!

(That Leatherman is super sweet too!)

We will continue to support Tapatalk for those people that prefer it. 

I liked it a lot in the old days, but as they started adding features and other strangeness it became less and less user friendly so I gave up on it.  I hear it has gotten better again, but I see no reason to go back to it.  Of course, that's just my opinion and if you prefer Tapatalk then by all means use what you like!

A forum would be a very boring place indeed if everyone agreed on everything!

I opened up that email and had two thoughts.

One. Oh crap, something really bad happened to Def and he's closing the clubhouse!

Two. He wasn't dead when he posted that. Not yet.

I hate UI changes, I won't lie. BUt the current layout is showing it's age, and maybe the mysterious outtages that have hit us the past couple weeks will poof away with the new look.

And if the new layout sucks and everything is broken, I'm not blaming Kirky.

Can't wait to see the new look and try it out on my mobile.

Awesome news! I use the mobile version of the site all the time, since Tapatalk got rid of the paid version of their app (I would much rather pay for an app than see advertisements) and started making you sign up for their account. IMO the existing version was already good, so the new site must be amazing. I work in the web development space, I know that stuff isn't easy, so thank you in advance for all the hard work! :salute:

Also, thanks to Leatherman for their generosity! I already have a tan OHT, so I'll sit out the giveaway. It's a nice model, I'm sure it will serve well whoever wins it.

What a fitting 10th birthday gift. Long live :MTO: :multi:

True, posting pics is easy in Tapatalk, but it seems to slightly reduce the quality or sharpness/detail of my pics.  They look better when I view them in my gallery.

If you have an Android, try using AVG Image Shrinker.  It's what I use.  I'll use it to shrink the photo, then I upload it to Dropbox and attach it to the forum from there.

If you have an iPhone I can't help you because I know nothing about them.  :D

I just change the size in settings on my camera before I take MT pics, that way they save smaller and upload quicker, I upload them in the Photobucket app and then can go to either the website on a phone, tablet, laptop or desktop to get the link code for it to put on the forum :cheers:

That's another good way to do it.  For non detailed photos (like the bottle opener challenge ones) I just take the photo at minimum resolution on my phone (2.1 megapixels, 1920x1080) and attach them directly to the post since they are small enough files already.  That might be the easiest way.

I'll allow you to proceed, but we warned, if there are alarming new palettes, unfamiliar buttons, or massive layout upheaval, I will be complaining, possibly in ALL CAPS.

I used to use Photobucket, but it didn't always want to cooperate.  Once I discovered doing it through Tapatalk, I stopped.  Plus it was a bit inconvenient to have to upload pics whenever I took them, and having to access a separate site to post them.  It may work better now that I'm in my own home with better internet.

Not long now!  As Inky would say, hang on to your bloomers!

I've asked Micah and he doesn't anticipate any down time- one minute you will be looking at the old version, and when you load a new page it will be the new version!  It should be that painless!

If you want in on this OHT, better get in now while you still can!   :pok:

I for one welcome our new high contrast overlords.


I'm not sure how it's going on everyone else's machines, but it looks like Fora for the Vision Impaired to me?

Lots of white, and the QUOTE at the bottom of each post is sort of just floating there as random text.

Sig blocks have turned unwieldy.

I'll get used to it, but I intend to honour the old gods with an appropriate amount of surliness and grumbling until I do.

Not a fan of the mobile version as the avatars are way too big. I think I'll stick with Tapatalk.

The spacing looks better now, at least on a tablet.
Also, the empty space on the left of the avatar is now less, on a tablet.
Some things, on the signature line, look out of place.
It is a bit bright.
The likes are gone.
It was nice to see post counts - it encouraged competition.
Quick reply works now.

The post counts are still there- just to save bandwidth and space they are hidden by default.  Click on a user's icon and all the info comes up.

Don't worry, I had to be told that one too... :P

That is actually a totally separate problem. 

Most forums purge attachments after a set amount of time in order to keep their databases from becoming unweildly.  Since much of our info is not available anywhere else I have always been against doing that, and as a result, our database is HUGE.  Like, Micah complains to me about it on a regular basis kind of huge because it is a pain in the bum to manage. 

To combat this we have set limits on the size and number of uploads.  As a consolation to that I have also started a gallery that stores images differently and offered free accounts to anyone who wanted to use it.   :pok:

Trying it on a PC, and I hate to say it, but I don't like it either. :(   The mass voids on the left with the user info, the missing post count (I know, not a big deal, but it's something I enjoyed seeing quickly), the space where the signatures and badges are just doesn't look right, and the mass amount of white space makes it look like a sterile environment.  The top menu bar looks out of place, and unpolished.

I hate to be the negative Nancy, but the old forum just seemed to flow and look much better.  Many people seem to like this though.  I'm just very big on looks, and flow, and if I don't like it, I tend to not frequent it.  The Jeep Forum changed drastically, and I went from being on it almost as much as here, to now not even remembering the last time I visited it. :(  Tapatalk is fine though, so I have no problem using that to visit here. :tu:

I know, and I really do understand the incredible amount of work that would have been put into this new setup.  I'm just one person that happens to be VERY stuck in my ways with somethings.  I say, as long as the majority like it, that's all that matters.  Switching to a newer, faster setup is the right way to go, and I applaud you and the others involved for making the switch.  Deciding to switch from something that worked well (at least from the users perspective) for 10 years could not have been an easy decision.

I agree with Dmac, just doesn't flow well and the white background is really hard on my eyes. If it was greyer with some darker contrast around the edges it would be much better. Also not a fan of the dark red lettering on white on the main menu.

The Like button and the photo resizing were both modules that are not compatible with our new theme.  It's possible in the future we may be able to find replacements, but for now they are indeed gone.

The background color is something I think we can address- I have been using this theme for weeks now and while it does seem bright, I got used to it and don't mind it a bit, but I can certainly understand why you say that, and I think it should be a relatively easy fix.

Not sure about it. I only ever access MTO on a mobile and what I loved about the old site was that the main landing page used to display the most recent post under each sub-heading, so it was really easy to see at a single glance what was going on, now it seems I have to click on each sub-forum to see the most recent posts?

I appreciate it's a free to use site and a lot of hours & hard work have gone into this for our benefit, but if it's no longer so easy to just see at a glance what is happening on each forum from the main page, I'm not sure I'll be able to check in as often.

Ps, there probably is a way to see all the most recent posts displayed and I just haven't found it yet.

OK. First off, let me say that I appreciate everything that is done to admin this monster. This place keeps me sane-ish a lot of days where I really do feel like arguing with a freight train, and it is a lot of work to admin something like this. Def, you and the mods have a created an amazing space, and the members keep it that way. THank you.

No it's time to get the poking stick. THere will be no appologies.

One, it's too white. It reminds me of ipads, ipods, iphones and toilets. I know some poeople probably didn't like the old grey background, but it gave this place a less sterile feel. Think not so much an old gentleman's club, but that space behind the garage where a couple of mechanics and their buddies might hang out on a Friday night. This... this feels like a medicinal. I really don't like it. Can we please get an option for night or dark or stealth or whatever we want to call it? This kind of contrast just has too little contrast, too much white. It won't make me leave, but it doesn't make me want to stay and prowl the back posts or the subforums that I normally wouldn't care about (like Gerber or SOG). This is really hard on my eyes after a long day, when I just want to be a troglodyte and sit in my dark apartment.

Secondly, the gutter down the left. I haven't tried this on my phone yet, maybe it is amazing on a tiny screen. But on my normal monitors, it's a quarter the page and it is just wasted space. Visually that makes it feel like we just slapped a kit into place and didn't tweak it. If we are going to have that huge space, maybe we could move the merit badges over there rather than cluttering up everyone's signature area. Also, I miss the post counts and our tag lines- get suppressing them for bandwidth, but we keep the badges? That seems backwards to me.

Finally, this is a big one.

When I went back to see how something I had posted was displaying, why am I looking at my IP? Look, I know, it's easy to get an IP. But really, just leaving it flopped out there like a dead fish on the beach? I'm a little bothered by that. And it doesn't seem to be effecting most people.So who'd I piss off now?

And now that I've read some people's comments, we will need to do something about the photo resize thing. There are forums I go to that are nigh on usable if some dumb slob posts a huge photo because it doesn't rescale, while others force everything to be itty bitty and useless for anything with more detail than hello kitty. Is there any way all we can get a comperable function for the new look?

I think it would go along way to add the contrasting colors or shade scheme of the old . Like the sticky threads being one color and the borders and every other post being a different shade as well all add up to being easier on the eyes.

Ya not a big fan of the new look.  Jars on my eyes.  Feels off.  Maybe if the colors were back to what the old forum was the rest wohad not feel so different.   Maybe I'm too old to change but I prefer coke classic.  :D

Sometimes, perfection only needs a tweak....
The trick is knowing when to stop.

I've visited quite a few forums over the years. Yet for some reason the ease at MT"o was soothing in comparison.... like coming home.

Way way too much white, had to reduce my brightness down to minimum first thing this morning...Arrrgh, My EYES!  :ahhh
And the whole look has no resemblance of old. I don't doubt the huge amount of work that must have gone into bringing this. But I think it's lost a lot of its character.

Still early days....we'll have to see  8)

so much white!  blindingly bright.

I keep my desktop as dark as possible, and even enjoy Blackle for searching since my screen is darker (http://www.blackle.com/)

Trying it on a PC, and I hate to say it, but I don't like it either. :(   The mass voids on the left with the user info, the missing post count (I know, not a big deal, but it's something I enjoyed seeing quickly), the space where the signatures and badges are just doesn't look right, and the mass amount of white space makes it look like a sterile environment.  The top menu bar looks out of place, and unpolished.

I hate to be the negative Nancy, but the old forum just seemed to flow and look much better.  Many people seem to like this though.  I'm just very big on looks, and flow, and if I don't like it, I tend to not frequent it.  The Jeep Forum changed drastically, and I went from being on it almost as much as here, to now not even remembering the last time I visited it. :(  Tapatalk is fine though, so I have no problem using that to visit here. :tu:


I hate to say it, but I also very much dislike the new look. I have visited other forums in the past with a similar look and hate it so much I usually never return. I agree with all in bold in the quote. It was basically what I was thinking. Another issue is now I have the same look on my tablet. I used to view the entire site on my Ipad, but now am stuck with this. The white is terrible and makes me not even want to be on MTO because it makes my eyes hurt looking at the screen. I just do not like a single aspect of the new look. I feel terrible saying it as i'm sure yourself and others have worked very hard on this. Please do not take it as me bad mouthing the forum. Its just my personal opinion on it. I'm probably in the minority on this one,

Is there no possible way to view it in its old form?

While I'm griping,

I've gone this long without an Avatar, and now I've got some default goober.

You're really twisting my arm on this here, now I've got to find a picture I like to represent me.

And my playlist just ran out of songs and restarted from the top (probably not MTos Fault, but I'm still unimpressed)

I liked the older better, but that's just the shell, it's what's inside that counts, so I'll stay here and get used to it.
Congratulations for all that worked for it. I know what it takes, we changed software for Cloudy Nights a couple of years ago, people didn't like it (most astronomers are grumpy ol' men)  and changed it again. There's initial resistance in every change proccess.

We are just a bunch of grumpy old men.....   :D :D :D  Traditionalists. I still use classic XP, the look/menu, on some PCs...

Maybe the youngsters among us will like the new forum look more..     :)

You do get used to it, slowly.

Lets see if we are still unhappy after a few days, when some adjustments have been made.

I've seen about five members say the new look is too bright, and I agree.
I do not know how many people worked on this, but it is surprising that none of them thought it was too bright.

I think Def said it occurred to him, but he got over it.

It's not too bad with the brightness turned down on the monitor.

Anyway, it's early days, give the Dev team time to capitulate and acquiesce to our demands  8)

Title: Re: Kiss it goodbye!
Post by: Megan on July 15, 2016, 03:41:09 PM
It's a work in progress!

Micah and the team has put a lot of work into this (me excluded.)
Our old theme was heavily out of date. Some features weren't going to be supported anymore.
As much as we love the same old, same old- it had to be done.
I really appreciate all of the hard work Micah has put in to this so we can keep on going for another decade. Remember that your fellow MTO members and friends are volunteering their time to make this work for all of us. It's a big job and it takes time to get it right.

I can see that Micah has changed the background colour to the same grey tone we had before. I like that change too! Nice and easy on the eyes.
I also noticed that this new theme is super fast and isn't using as much data as before on my devices. That's a really nice change.
Over the coming days I'm sure we will see lots of little tweaks based on all of our constructive feedback.

A few things have changed places and not all of us are tech inclined. I get that changes like that take a day or two for us to adjust!  :ahhh
Don't forget that our Mods are here if you have any questions. Feel free to send any a PM if you have a question about anything.

This is like breaking in a new pair of boots. They fit differently than your favourite pair at first, but give them a bit of time and you'll break them in- and then they'll be super comfortable.

The forum may look a little aesthetically different- but it's the same forum. The same topics. The same people.

We do have to remember that the old forum was 10 years worth of tweaks, and little changes.

I know over time the new will be as awesome to us "old farts" as the old was. I have no doubt about it!!

I look forward to the subtle changes, and will enjoy being part of the rebirth.

LONG LIVE MT.O!!!

Speaking to the "brightness or too much white" issue. The thing I had noticed and one of the aspect that was so great about the old theme was that the posts alternated from white to light grey, so did the quotes. So it was very easy and quick to navigate and visually separate between posts from one to the other, made it all very easy to scan and read through.
Yes, this was my other issue that I couldn't remember when I commented.  The posts are less distinguishable than before.  Probably just something I'll get used to though.

These two things right here. And something I have notice, this man does not get enough thanks. So Micah, thanks again for helping keep this forum running on the tech side. We would not be here with out you. Also, Megan said the biggest thing of all, "The same people". This is what matters. It may need some a few adjustments here and there, but it just got revamp. I remember all the bugs and mishaps when MTO was just a baby. It will all work out. IT'S ALL GOOD!

Before I forget, Hi Megan, long time no see. Hope things have been well for you.

OH! New color scheme! Much better, liking this much more. Someone is off my smurf list! I no longer feel like I'm reading something scribbled on the underside of a toilet seat and lit with an arc welder!

I can see that Micah has changed the background colour to the same grey tone we had before. I like that change too! Nice and easy on the eyes.

Darn kids.

I remember before we had likes! (and we liked it!)


I'm imagining Def having fits, kicking his tools around, and throwing things down the driveway, muttering about the damn ingrates on his site, he puts all this into it and they "don't like the new colours" wah wah wah, and then settling down in a huff not talking to anyone, so Megan has to come and play nice and tell us all to stop picking on the Dev team and be more appreciative.

Goodbye old Forum.
The new look is good.
Thanks for all the hard work that you do for us.

But:

That Likes deleted (not transmitted) were
has me very disappointed.

I appreciated the option to reward good postings without comment.
"I like" - comments are friendly, but if at any posting five such comments come,
makes the thread not better. (This is my opinion)

I hope that the likes coming back.

The new theme is so... new and different. It is a bit uncomfortable to navigate at the moment, namely the muted colors. It makes the background looks like an endless streak of white. I like the old color scheme better, and yeah the "like" button.

I'm getting used to it.  It loads so quickly on my phone now, which is great.  Pic posting doesn't work well for me though.  I guess I'll have to stick with Tapatalk for that function.  I still will browse/reply this way, but if I need to post a pic, Tapatalk will be used.

like button was really useful not to clutter threads with "+1, like, thanks" and so, but still showing approval easily...
i don't think the "like count" under profile meant much, but the like count on liked posts was nice and useful  :pok:

  Is taking a while to grow on me... Whoeey did an great job on his fixings of things. :drink:

  Ditched Tapatalk last night. Zoomed links and numbers are working better. Tabbing to a new link is iffy still, as when taping and holding a link there's no indication in the CSS script to show if a link was pressed or if its empty space... using Firefox phone browser.

  Have yet to create a new post on phone. Been either busy or in pain from recent toof issue.

  Can I say I do miss the old forum for desktop, but like the newer version for other electronic devices without being :pommel: ?

I got used to it and I find it quicker, helping me read and post between work tasks. I don't mind the lost likes, since I had few (revenge! :viking:), neither the post count. I can always check it on my profile, because I should do a GAW somewhere at 5000 or 6000 posts.
I don't like the Olive Drab and grey colors on the other hand. Are they customisable?

I really like using Tapatalk, but you have to love a website with responsive design!!  I can't wait to see what it looks like!

(That Leatherman is super sweet too!)

We will continue to support Tapatalk for those people that prefer it. 

I liked it a lot in the old days, but as they started adding features and other strangeness it became less and less user friendly so I gave up on it.  I hear it has gotten better again, but I see no reason to go back to it.  Of course, that's just my opinion and if you prefer Tapatalk then by all means use what you like!

A forum would be a very boring place indeed if everyone agreed on everything!

Def
I agree, it started to get really bad for a while!  Some of the bloat is now gone and it's gone through a huge redesign which made it much easier to use. That being said, it sounds like you're getting by fine without it!

Pertaining to the first part, you said.

Now for the second part. You said.

If the old mobile version was much better than why does the new theme make the mobile surfing quite pleasant? Would it not of been more pleasant on the old mobile version as it is "much better"?



Does all this make sense or should I just check myself into a institution now?

Now see, to an Englishman that makes perfect sense and whilst probably incorrect to grammatical purists would be quite acceptable to your average Brit. Simply read "as" as "that".

A pretty common thing over here I'd say.

My understanding is that to your average brit,

"Bag" means "Fine clothes suitable for formal occasions"

"apples" means "series of small platforms suitable for ascending or descending levels of a building"

Ah now.....

"apples" I know about - that's from cockney rhyming slang - as in "apples and pears" = "stairs". So that would be local to a few blocks in East London only.

"Bag" - that's a new one on me!
