    Okay, this is REALLY fucked up.

    I had succesfully found my galleries after clicking on the Gallery tab and then there was a link to my own galleries. Now the links are still there but for me are invisible unless HIGHLIGHTED. WTF...

    This. I will volunteer to pop a few sodium valproate and brave the seizure inducing adds to copy/pasta the 'Schiit Happened' updates back here...

    It looks like SBAF members are putting together a guide to navigating Head-Fi. Who would have predicted this? :)

    This gives me an idea. I think there is a neat way to get Jason's updates here without needing to copy/paste stuff...

    I certainly like the idea. One less reason to visit over there! But, I suspect it might be a good idea to ask Jason about this first. That content, at the very least, needs to have his permission to post here.

    What a horrible new design. Looks like someone bought the domain and installed his own forum software without any experience.

    The software is clearly XenForo, same as SBAF. The config and the ads, though...

    The ads are so random. I'm getting an ad for the movie 'Demolition' that I think came out 2 years ago at least, and two of the same ads for a mortgage bailout, among several others.

    Oh dear lord! I had to reset my password before I could log in :mad:. Does anyone know if there is a way to mark all posts as read? I can't find it on the new version.

    Argh!

    I found that switching it to the mobile skin makes it a bit less loathesome, on a desktop. It's still glaring and bright, but there's less clutter.

    uBlock Origin does a good job of blocking the ads...including the stubborn Noble & JH Audio ones.

    That ad is somewhat like watching a Z review. Gotta take a motion sickness pill first.

    It's a bloody mess. Half of it's broken and the other half is ads.

    And, boy, are the natives restless.
