Can I change my default font? I'm not a fan of this...courier new. Greatly prefer a cleaner font like arial. Thanks.

If you're okay with doing it across your browser, you could try this:

(I didn't test it myself, though, so I'm not sure if it changes all fonts.)

The "Click to expand..." option in quotes is hardly visible due to the blue on grey color scheme (same goes for followers on profiles) and sometimes it doesn't show at all.

This is in our list of planned changes.

When I mouse over on the forum header there is no option for NEW THREADS, this is much more useful than the NEW POSTS option which already is there. Could this be added please?

I'll bring this suggestion to our development team. In the meantime, you can locate new threads using the advanced search. https://www.head-fi.org/f/search/?type=post

We're looking into possible font changes.

Noo! Cute colorful symbols and the like don't show up on profiles anymore; only boring black ones.

Also: I just turned 30!

Time to slow down a little bit. Looks like many smileys have sizing issues.

I noticed the thread starter label shows in the first post of a thread, but not in any subsequent posts by the thread starter. It showed sometime after the site update, but stopped showing again.

I also noticed that the field for text on profiles is thinner now. Wonder why...

Yes, this was helpful.

Fonts and color schemes look much better now. Thanks!!

Any idea how we search threads? There used to be search tools.

The daily digest was a feature created by Wikia for the Huddler platform. We don't have anything similar on the new platform, but we've received other requests for this to return so it's on our list of possible additions for the future.

Thanks!

Head-Fi even has measures to detect out-of-date browsers and inform you of that. I discovered this today when logging in on an old computer.

The light blue quotes are pretty.

In the search box at the upper right select 'Search this thread only'

So far I'm liking the new color scheme and return to a sans serif font by default. Things are looking good. The banner still doesn't fit; however, I trust the design improvements will continue alongside the bug fixes, so I'll just wait for whatever the final result ends up being.

The breadcrumb bar at the top and the second to last page icon are back to being cut off, though. I seem to remember these issues being briefly fixed. The former only happens when you click on a thread in your feed that has updates (i.e. it's in bold text and takes you to the first unread post). If you go to a thread that doesn't have unread posts, you're taken to the first page and the breadcrumb bar is intact. You can navigate to any page thereafter and the bar will stay intact.

Significantly, the URLs are different:
https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/new-head-fi-update.845500/page-93
https://www.head-fi.org/f/threads/new-head-fi-update.845500/page-93#post-13509444

The second one has the cut off breadcrumb bar. It seems that appending a specific post number causes the issue somehow. Clicking on the first link above (which has intact breadcrumb bars) and then clicking on a specific post number will reliably create the issue.

Ah that makes sense. I must've missed that white text on a light gray background because I use that search bar often and never noticed it was there. Thanks!

Thanks, and we're still refining the look. I like where the design team has gone with the new font choices.

Yup. This feature is mostly about bringing possible browser security vulnerabilities to the reader's attention, but outdated browsers can also break the formatting that we've been coding. Some older browsers don't support HTTPS, for example.

The light blue quotes are pretty.

They're also easier to read than the dark gray we were using previously. I prefer the blue as well.

The banner still doesn't fit; however, I trust the design improvements will continue alongside the bug fixes, so I'll just wait for whatever the final result ends up being.

We have some new banners in development that we'll be rolling out before long. They match the feel of the site better than the current ones do. There's still some more work to be done on them, but once they're ready we'll push the update.

The breadcrumb bar at the top and the second to last page icon are back to being cut off, though. I seem to remember these issues being briefly fixed.

Yup, it was resolved briefly, but after we fixed another bug this one returned.

It seems that appending a specific post number causes the issue somehow.

That's exactly the cause. We fixed it once before, so we shouldn't have too much resistance doing it again.

Keep up the good work!
