OT: The Thread About Nothing 203

[My3Sons]

Pickle Rick!

My oldest son waited almost two years to see that episode. It was funny but I don't get why pickle Rick has taken on a life of its own.

Ads are so omnipresent on the internet they dont even bother me, honest-to-god I virtually instinctively tune them out I'm so used to them, so I dont even run an ad blocker.

But are there ancillary benefits to running ad blockers, like does the prevention of certain ads displaying speed-up load times? If that's the case I'd consider it.

Basically all IT Security professionals recommend ad blockers because of the tracking cookies/other malicious code some lesser vetted ads can spread.

Also, the less that has to load on your screen, the faster you'll navigate.

Forum looks a bit different.

Definitely an upgrade and looks like they have a layout of proper ad space for programmatic advertising.

For those of you out there that dislike the new style here and all the bright white space you can download stylish for chrome https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish-custom-themes-for/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe/related?hl=en and then go to https://userstyles.org/styles/148793/bba-hfboards and download the theme there.

Here is what it looks like after installed

What the hell is this, took me hours to get logged back in lol, gonna take a while to get used to it. Needs more of a delineation between posts and quote boxes need to be grayed out as well so you can see them.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Absolutely abysmal update.

 

[Brodeur]

I suppose I'll get used to it over time. Certainly too bad that the layout hadn't really changed much since the previous update in 2002.

HF is now blocked on the wi-fi network where I work because of "Adult Content".

Maybe ~10 years ago, I got the same warning at work. I liked to think that my IT kept track of those warnings and kept thinking like "Man, this guy keeps trying to look this stuff up at 9am."

 

[Its a Trap]

Half of the thread photos on our board have Pickle Rick there for different people. What is wrong with the universe...

I've turned myself into Pickle HFDevils, I'M PICKLE EDDY!!!!

Are you sure you didn't just turn yourself into a pickle to avoid the update?

Hugh Hefner died, he's probably the only person who did not go to a better place when he died lol

At first i was like Hitler? Then i got the joke.

No doubt.

Man at least give us like a theme option to go back to the old site, or at least change up the color scheme ourselves. It is also hard to tell what threads have new posts or that I have read everything.

The bold thread title is unread/new posts in a thread. Wasn't the old site the same way?

Ah yeah true my bad. I think I am also just not use to the font.

I can't be the only one who has to sign in every visit on an iPhone, right?

Can only assume HF contracted with Adidas in some capacity during this website overhaul.

Functionality is okay, but colors/aesthetics need some serious work to make this easy to navigate and differentiate posts.

 

[The Devil In I]

My biggest issue isn't the appearance, something's different on the new host where now the f***ing site is blocked by my works IT system. Its now considered "mixed use/potentially adult". Been on this site for 7 years at this company without any issue. And I cant possibly be the only one with this problem.

 

[Darkauron]

Also, finding IT jobs in south jersey sucks.

 

[None Shall Pass]

Seriously, this design is making me less inclined to read things here. Awful.

 

[MartyOwns]

this layout is terrible, but a silver lining is Saugus being listed as a notable member

 

[Scorcho]

what part of south jersey?
and basic IT or Dev work?

That's all well and good but.....

He's referring to the "skin"(or the old format/appearance prior to the unwanted change).

I was once part of a wrestling forum that changed its appearance(and looked horrible) but gave users the option to get back that old style again.

I really wish they'd do the same here.
