head-fi. That enormous Noble audio one to the right is particularly obnoxious.

I got on after password reset but logged off and the same thing again.

I can't find a way to search within a thread. Maybe my eyes are still adjusting. Anybody see a way?

 

[FastAndClean]

can those ads pictures be shrunk to smaller size.

no, you have to start buying

As best as I can see, this update is about the forum owners making more money regardless of how it affects the members. The owners should not forget that the members make the forum, not the other way around....

Well, not really. As someone that works on a bunch of forums, not this one, nor am I angling for a job, the platform this site was on, Huddler, announced to all their site owners that they were getting out of the biz. They provided a very basic backup of the database to site owners leaving them on their own as to what platform to chose to migrate too. Due to a lot of crap years back in the forum software space that left pretty much the base software this site is now using as the only decent alternative. Other sites going through this are AVS forums, Backyard Chickens, Epic Ski, Home Theatre Forums and Makeup Talk have all have to quickly move. This is a new platform for the admins after using something totally different for years.

I find it hard to read anything with the animations going on in the wall-to-wall adverts top, right and bottom!

The Massdrop, Noble ads I can understand. But large ads enticing me to find a Russian girlfriend or Chinese Lady Date are not going to go down well with Mrs Jellofund....time to find a good ad blocker.

Looks like a couple of days worth of conversations have gone missing too

It's quite possible that there were broken things on the back end that we're not privy to. I like to think that if you can ignore all the missing functionality for a second, it's kind of exciting that a new platform will allow for a bunch of NEW functionality that might not have been possible before.

We're working on it as fast as we can. Bear with us, guys!

 

[posnera]

Can someone explain how to get to subscribed/watched threads?

 

[Mr Rick]

Change, change. No one likes change.

There is no justification for this amount of space on each page being taken up by advertising.

Watched threads only shows unread posts, it does not function the same way as the subscribed page used to. Also we no longer have a means of selecting what we are looking for, like articles, posts, etc. Sorry but this is is a FAIL
I wonder if anyone QA'd the new site comparing old vs new functionality.

Well looks like we are beta testers for the new site then. Hopefully the community can come together and fix this site in the upcoming weeks. Since the layout sucks so bad right now we should just use this time to experiment anyways.

 

[NightFlight]

Well the frame items were easy enough to add to ABP. *shrug* Kind of necessary to stop the eye bleeding.
Hopefully the new platform will eventually include some options to customize the themes.

I lost some PM's for sale transactions, which was kinda of bad, but I have to admit, it wasn't like there weren't warnings. Fortunately for me we finished the transaction via paypal, otherwise I would have no record of who I was even talking with.
