Anybody figured out the new site yet?
- Thread starter Whitetriton
- Start date
Subscribed threads and forums are both separate. You can access the threads via the shortcut in the top right. To access subscribed forums: click on your avatar to access your profile and then click the larger icon (left) to get access to your account settings. Alternatively, you can access your account settings via the Quick Navigation Menu (small horizontal lines next to "Home" above). From there you can click the link that takes you to the watched forums.
Or you could make a bookmark here: https://www.head-fi.org/f/watched/forums Note - the only difference between the URL for threads and forums is the last word in that string.
We're working on a couple of things in the Head Gear section at the moment. As soon as we're able, we'll re-enable the button to add new entries. Apologies for the inconvenience while we're making our adjustments.

Three questions:
1. How do I search just a sub-forum or thread? I see the big search bar at the top but that searches everything. For example, I was trying to find the Sony NWZ-ZX1 thread but most of the results are for people selling their ZX1. And I can't find a way to search within a thread either. I would have searched for this and the answers to my other questions...but can't?
2. Is there a mobile version I can turn on? It's really annoying trying to navigate this site when everything renders like it does on desktop. And yes, I have "request desktop site" turned off on my phone.
3. Can the site be adjusted to render properly for different desktop monitors? I often view this site on a portrait monitor and the top right corner, where the user details are, is too far over. This also happens on my Surface, in landscape (widescreen) mode - i have to scroll over to see the top right corner.

You can use the advanced search (https://www.head-fi.org/f/search/) to search a specific sub-forum to find a thread. At the moment we do not have searching within a thread active, but it's something we're working on implementing.
There is a mobile version of the site that you can access by clicking "Head-Fi.org Mobile Site" in the bottom right of any page. We're currently working on improving the mobile experience, so there might be some errors when using that version.
We're currently testing adjustments to the layout that should improve the user experience when using desktop view.
I used to use my email to see which of my subscribed threads had been updated with new comments. That functionality is now very spotty, and mostly my email doesn't update as it used to. I'm lucky to get 1 or 2 posts on my email per day from the Head-Fi link.
I remain unable to edit my community profile or add my reviews or lists of my gear to my signature. Am I missing something here?

Yes whats up with the the Subscribed threads?
Again, in the upper right hand corner click on "Unread" and it will take you to your "Unread Subscribed Threads". By clicking on "All" in the upper right hand corner it will take you to "All" of your threads. Also, while you're in your "Unread Subscribed Threads" you can access "All" your threads which is located right below. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, but this has been mentioned numerous times, just try reading through the thread before repeating the same questions and you'll find the answers.

It also appears that when in "ALL" view (or maybe that's the "Unread" view) any unread or new post is indicated on the far left of each threads listing with a blue asterisk-like symbol in the little box.

When you click on "Unread" it takes you to your "Unread Subscribed Threads". Clicking on the blue dot (•) next to the left of the "Unread" thread takes you to the last "Unread" post in that thread.

Is there any plan or discussion to increase the limit of "New Posts" that show from 200 to something significantly greater? @AxelCloris

I notice some users have 50+ showcase items while myself and others have 5,9,12....for example
How is that possible??
Is there some way to get back the reviews. I cannot get how some folks have their showcase/reviews up to date and others do not.
