is there any way to ditch the ugly orange background that's been showing up since a few hours ago please?
 

 
I'm colorblind and dark blue on orange is barely readable to me, I can't find any way to change the color theme in my profile options either

Seems like promotion, so your best bet is contacting an administrator, although I doubt that'd do anything.

Hi, I accessed head-fi today and got the sudden urge to vomit, could someone please do something about http://cdn.head-fi.org/7/77/77f955f4_jhaudio-100812.jpeg please? Turning off all images on cdn.head-fi.org until then. Thanks!

edit: at least something like

The new background is also making headfi basically unusable from the IPad on Safari.

On mobile devices, it significantly slows page loads, scrolling, and use of the comment field.
 
703 KB is a ridiculous size for an ad banner. Some mobile browsers will not cache it, so it gets re-sent from the server on every pageload, which can clobber mobile network bandwidth.
 
Also, touch too close to the edge of the screen, no matter where you are on the page, and the browser starts loading JH Audio's facebook page too.
 
I will not visit head-fi from a mobile browser while this banner's running. That's not even by choice, unfortunately. The site's become nearly unusable and is actively hostile to my data cap.

I'm finding the same thing regarding mobile functionality, guys. I've submitted a ticket. Sorry about that, guys.

To wear my developer's hat for a moment, I'm gonna point out that the image is practically optimized for inefficiency. Most of the pattern is hidden by the content foreground (a box with a minimum width of roughly 1,000 pixels).
 
By replacing that hidden area with a flat color field, the ad would look exactly the same as it does now, but would compress much more efficiently, and be considerably smaller and easier for browsers to render.

Hasn't seemed to bother my android phone today.
