We're Moving!

Post by MoT »

Hi everyone!

MoT's will be transitioning to a new host by April 1st, and over the next couple of weeks, I will be slowly making the transition.

What does this mean to you? Not much! Your login and all other info will remain the same. There could be a couple of hiccups with plug-ins and other things here and there, and there will be occasional and hopefully short downtime on the 30th and 31st of March, but I hope to make the transition as smooth and fast as possible.

Starting today (March 15) the attachments system has been disabled. I have been having trouble getting the attachments to sync with the posts on a test server properly, so they all appear broken in threads. For now please self-host, hot-link or use the Imgur upload ability (the "i" icon in the below screenshot) to post your images.

Thank you all for continuing to make this the best place to find and share watch deals, and feel free to send me a message if you have any issues or comments.

I’m assuming you’ll update us, but just saying I have no image hosting so I’ll be mostly sitting out till the move is complete. Thanks for everything, including the hosting of images.

You mean I may have a chance to win a month?

I don’t know. Folks are pouring it on right now.

I’m also trying to change jobs, possibly move again, etc, so it’s a good time for me that MoT makes the move now. As Arnold says, I’ll be back.

No whining….I’m in the middle of a job change, career change (mostly), relocation and likely knee surgery and I’m posting deals as fast as I can + new releases + WRUW + car **** (truck actually). LOL

I'm going to get things rolling tomorrow. Expect the site to be up and down throughout the day.

Fingers crossed everything goes smoothly and the downtime is minimal!

Thank you all for your patience.

We've Unpacked!

Moving day is done, and it went off without a hitch (mostly). There are still some issues with previously uploaded attachments syncing properly, so they may or may not appear broken. The attachment system is live again for those who like to use it.

Thank you everyone for your support and your patience! Now let's get back to those deals and sharing everything we love about watches!

This morning (March 31), when I try to access the site I get this error in my browser

Image

I'm using Firefox v124.0.1. I checked some of the security settings in the browser, when I disable this setting now the web site loads

Image

Is the error temporary? I never had issues with manontime loading until now.

It should be temporary. I had to reinstall a security certificate, and it should now be valid. Users having issues may need to clear cookies and cache before it will access correctly.
