New Forum Style Changes at Midnight EST

[Lightning]

At 12am EST we will be changing the default theme of the MOS forums back to the new style we had a few months back. This new theme is mobile, tablet and desktop responsive and has many new features that are in tuned with the new era of websites.

The generic theme called “Default” will still be selectable for a limited time at the bottom of the forums.

The new theme is called "MOSGRID" and we encourage you to start getting familiar with it. There are many videos showing how to navigate through the new theme here

Looking forward to the updates. Anyway to fix the links on the pages? Like earlier I clicked a link DLD posted for DLD tunica blasters and it took me to a LM in the MOS store.

I love this new platform I think everybody’s going to be very happy with it.

 

[Lightning]

There will tweaks we will be updating as we come across them, like font and color changes here and there.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Looking forward to it very much.

 

[Lightning]

It's active now by user choice at the bottom of the page in the footer. Tonight it will be the default.

 

[REDZULU2003]

It looks so much better!!

First impression of the new theme has been wow.... then I started navigate the forum with it and few things did annoy me:

1. Too much eye candy animations when hovering the mouse... At first, it is awesome but quite rapidly, it becomes dizzying...
2. I found the navigation harder by not having the current forum link at the top of every thread pages (SEO term for that is breadcrumbs...). The only way that I have found was to go back home and navigate back into the forum of interest...

DAYUM, it threw me off, I thought my ZOOM level was wrong at first...
...then I notice the Big Advertisement was gone at the top of the page

I LIKE

Some animations were turned off.
We are adding bread crumbs as well.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Tons better. The date/time thing would be good, and I notice the grey bar on the page has been fixed.

 

[REDZULU2003]

Not sure what this next feature was called, but it would simply show your avatar against the avatar of the thread creator, IF, you had posted in that thread at all.

This made it easy to track which threads I myself had not posted in before even opening them, just by glancing at the avatar.

At the moment this has gone.

 

[DLD]

So far so good

I also noticed when I click the button "Jump To New" in a thread, the site doesn't do this.

It should jump to the end of the thread now.

Yeah, that is only a desktop feature and I disabled that. It looked really cluttered when let's say DLD created a thread and then replied to that thread, it would show his avatar twice like a system error. Since he created a majority of popular threads and replies to most of them daily his avatar is all over the forum homepage.

If people really want that, we can turn it back on. Let me know.

Still not working...Can others here in the forum test this feature to see if the "Jump To New" button takes you to the last and latest post.

Are you on mobile? Have you tried a thread you haven't viewed?

Desktop...let me test a new thread that I have looked at before...Stand by...

 

[Haursen]

@Lightning

Okay tested it...When I hit the button, it takes me to the page where the latest post is at however it doesn't bring me to the actual post and I would need to scroll down to the actual post.

Is this feature how this is supposed to work or would the feature jump me straight to the post?

No problem. I can get around it with the date + time.

Noticed the ability to add tags has gone since the change.

Still feeling it out
