I'm late to the party (and on my lunch break at work) so I don't currently have time to read all of the pages of this thread. If I repeat something (which I most likely will) I apologize in advance.
*There needs to be a subscriptions sub-tab when we click on the top right tab. I think this is an absolute necessity.
*On our accounts, we need a "reviews" tab which takes us to an index of our reviews.
*Product reviews need to be organized similarly to the older site. Most popular reviews on top (based on feedback) then descending down to the least popular review.
*The overall feel of the site is that community and user input has taken a back seat to banners and ad space. This is based on not only my own, but also other's impressions.
*I have lots of log-in issues with my phone. It's hit and miss in terms of whether I get on, or the site is identified as malicious.
*My wife accused me of watching porn before she realized it was Head-Fi. This is because of the dating site adds featuring pictures of sleazy girls in skimpy clothes.
*I can't search for things because I get a prompt stating that there was a security error.
*I know the amount of work needed to get a new website of this magnitude going, so I don't envy the people working on it. What I will also say is that Head-Fi needs to keep its roots as a crowd/participant driven website. I know ad space is important, but shouldn't come at the cost of what made the website so great. If Head-Fi loses focus, which I consider to be the ease of use, and availability to engage in interactions and make contributions in the form of thread posts and user reviews, they could lose a lot of loyal followers to other audio sites.
Just my two cents for now. Please take all of this as constructive.
Cheers
