- ad-trap - I am sorry, but it is an only word describing the page now, I have switched the ad-blocking plugin back on for the head-fi and it is not going away anytime soon, I am sorry
I agree with most of the comments that the new layout is pretty awful. But two things in particular bother me:
1. The ads on the former site seemed to be mostly about audio gear; the new site seems to think I need a date or want some kind of crazy stones. I actually looked at the old ads; I will block these, assuming I still use the site at all.
2. The email notification system used to send you every new post from the subscribed threads, regardless of whether you visited the site in between postings. This was a great feature! The new system, however, requires that you go to the site to view the post you just received via email and then go on to read any other new ones. If you don't go to the site, no new messages. I assume they did this to force you to go to the website to see the ads, but see point 1.
If the email notification scheme doesn't return to the old method, I will probably be spending far less time on Head Fi.
