    I've only seen the mobile version... looks like it's a site from 10 years ago... terribly cumbersome as well.

    Man your eyes dart around for awhile until you finally see the thread's been wiped :D it's ad-blocked, and this pic isn't even animated

    not that my acct would work on HF anyway, but visiting there was the worst 3 minutes of my day.
    clearly the new site exactly mirrors Jood: short on actual content, and high on maximizing $ in hopes of propagating a (false) extravagant lifestyle.

    It's lost in the negative space (in-joke for designers ... not a very good one).

    In fact for the sake of transparency we should all be typing it 'heAD-fi' from now on.

    Well, when things get slow in the SBAF space, leave it to Jude to provide for some short term distraction. But who are we kidding. He's just going for a more efficient money grab. Make it rain, head fi members.

    Just notice that the previous "Likes" disappeared. For example, Jude has 1. I think he had more than that before the site update.

    I can't even log in there now. Also is this site glitching now too? The text is all over the place like it's not loading properly.

    Seems fine until I log in. Then the text goes weird and things overlap, wtf?
    Edit: Cleaned Chrome browser and it's fine now.

    It looks like the old rep system has been replaced by a like system. Of course no dislikes allowed on HF.

    Your avatar correctly sums up my UCLA experience.

    Also, apparently no one is allowed to get their umbrella out. Make that shit rain.

    The place had some redeeming qualities....Jason's blog....baldr's blog.....some of the people.......a few of the threads.....

    But I am willing to give all that up if the forum format and function isn't improved dramatically.

    Nope, too busy I guess. They just deleted it, no PM telling me to knock it off.
