Voltron Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 I just cannot see being upset by such a thing. It might make viewing a little more work but people over there are claiming that there will be a mass exodus if Jude doesn't change it back. Give me a break.
ojnihs Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 not that big of a deal for me either, using a 19 inch monitor with my 13 inch macbook. macbook screen relegated to iTunes duty.
laxx Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Not an issue for me: dual 24" monitors. Hey, one is dedicated for iTunes or foobar. Very similar, I use a 24" and an 18", the latter dedicated to foobar.
swt61 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Am I the only one not bothered by the change? Seems pretty fricken benign to me although I can see why it would affect some more than others. No it doesn't really bother me either.
Smeggy Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Posted March 19, 2008 The hindrance is related to screen size/rez. Bigger monitors will have no problems, many of us with smaller screens makes navigation and reading a lot more mouswork. Oh well, it's his site and he can do whatever he wants with it. I'll just stay away because the site is now impractical on my machine.
Knuckledragger Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 It doesn't bother me, because I hardly use Head-Fi. Two years ago, I was still viewing Head-Fi at 1024x768. It was difficult to navigate at that resolution. I went to 1280x1024 shortly thereafter, and it became much more usable (the layout at least, the content continued to decline.) I went dual head a while back, which is handy for putting two web pages opposite each other for quick comparisons. None of this has improved the signal-to-noise ratio on HF. Lastly, the Great Crash of 2007 fucked up all Head-Fi bookmarks, and I swear the search function still haven't recovered. Anyone seen that massive Sennheiser replacement cable roundup thread?
deepak Posted March 19, 2008 Report Posted March 19, 2008 Doesn't bother me. Full screen Firefox and my laptop screen resolution is only 1400x1050.
en480c4 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Well, I can no longer visit the -fi on my Motorola Q when I'm on the go, which was a majority of the time I actually spent there. So I guess until Can Jam is done and things go back to the way they were, I'm done. I definitely won't continue to scroll right for every thread I click in. As if browsing on a mobile device wasn't hard enough...
Fitz Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 I said fuck it and went ahead and installed the Remove It Permanently extension for Firefox. Could Jude possibly be anymore blatant than this?

GPH Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 I said fuck it and went ahead and installed the Remove It Permanently extension for Firefox. Could Jude possibly be anymore blatant than this? I've been looking forever for an extension like that. No more sponsors.
Salt Peanuts Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Too bad I don't like Firefox all that much for Mac.
grawk Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Too bad I don't like Firefox all that much for Mac. I don't like firefox 2, but minefield/firefox 3 is good
Dusty Chalk Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Could Jude possibly be anymore blatant than this?Blatantly what? (Not arguing, I seriously don't know which of several directions you were going with this comment.)
ojnihs Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Too bad I don't like Firefox all that much for Mac. safari is king in my book
grawk Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 I was a big safari fan, but since switching to minefield, i have tried a few times, and can't switch back, I'm too used to the stuff I like about minefield (command 1/2/3/4 for tab selection, mostly)
Smeggy Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Posted March 20, 2008 Firefox is pretty good for PC. Lots of nice extensions for all the crap I want to avoid out on the webz. Haven't had a Mac since the OS9 days so never tried safari.
Spiug31 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks Fitz, RIP is a great find (I can browse the HF for sale forums again \ )
justin Posted March 20, 2008 Report Posted March 20, 2008 Too bad I don't like Firefox all that much for Mac. I immediately installed FireFox once I got a Mac, since I've used it for years on PC. It seems to crash at least once a day, especially opening pages with embedded videos I'll go to Safari if there's add-ons that let me do gestures to open links in new tabs (foreground or background), and also saves tabs when closing/crashing. Does it offer these features?
Smeggy Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Posted March 20, 2008 That's unfortunate, Firefox PC is pretty stable. I wonder what they screwed up.
