I'm pretty sure alot of people have done this... Considered a bit of kit and searched it in google for some harmony central reviews. Almost everything has reviews up about it but now whenever I click a link I get nothing

For example if you search "Harmony central verbzilla" for example you get what looks to be like a standard link to the review but no... Dragged to a main menu of sorts.

Ah well... There silly comment censoring was pretty bad anyway...

Whoa... Now it's definitely weird. I don't like the look of it and now it's harder to use (I sound like a cranky old man).

WTF?

beta or not it look's so bad. I can't even find reviews I'm after!

It's like Facebook, they're always updating things - if it aint broke, why fix it?

That review sections interface is dreadful indeed.
Try looking up an LMB-3 for fun:

- filter by category
- choose bass, another window pops up
- choose bass amps and effects, another window pops up
- choose bass effects, another window pops up
- choose bass effects pedals, another window pops up
- choose compression and sustain
- scroll through the list with all related products

How dumb is that?!

There was a lot of negative feedback from members over there when this was proposed looks like their fears were realised..the old HC reviews were perfect and easy to get around...i left a few lately and they never even got posted...i have the funny feeling they lost or can't be bothered linking back to their older site....

That is a shame as it used to be a really useful site. I was pretty disappointed though when they didn't publish my review of Laurie's HZD pedal and never even acknowledged it.

Hopefully, they will change it back to what it was.

Maybe all of us who have a HZD should post a review. That might help it get a spot? It is a great pedal and deserves some recognition...

+1 on the changing it back. It's no longer useful to me because I just can't find anything easily anymore.

At another look they've either changed something or I didnt pay enough attention the first time. Pretty easy to find things using Products > Company name. Still the old one was still 10x better.

Ewww

It seems like the entire site has been redesigned for advertising and google SEO/adwords. Which actually isn't that surprising HC was always a bit of a scam site really anyway, but it was a scam with occasional information....now not so much.
