    This is idiocy. The editorialized content sucks. HF is about quantity over quality. Why would they move to a layout that makes all you can eat consumption harder?

    If they are trying to kill head-fi a-la Mel Brooks' "The Producers", they are doing a good job.

    That is such a nice, non-totalitarian name for your cat. My bad for mentioning the war.

    "Welcome to Head-Fi.org" is in such a ludicrously small font in comparison to the 24/7 Vegas on coke theme. It looks like a cry for help from the last sane person in an asylum.

    One thing less to worry about.

    Home Page:
    What a ridiculous downgrade. I was busy with other stuff, just got there. Try to log in, it accepts username/pass, sends me back to the home page with the login button. I think I'm giving up. Update: gave up. Life is too short to fight hostile sites. Re-update: Oh the idiocy: it logged me in, but the only way to discover that was to scroll down to the bottom and click on profile. No way to find out what's new in my feed. I've seen many bad redesigns, but this one takes the prize. Re^2-update: Truly give up on Head-fi. No easy way I can find to go to my watched threads. Confusing profile page.

    It is gone now.

    Edit: Did you get the "I hope you understand..." message @TheIceman93 ?

    Wow! It's really quite an experience y'all! You should try it. I went to check on the latest shipping and serial number updates and ended up ordering a Russian bride. Fantastic!!
