Guests View First Post Only By Omniscient
Guests views. We have recently seen this in the news already, but the change has now been reverted to no longer allowing them to view threads. This change has happened due to the number of bots crawling threads. We at the HF News have noticed a very large number of threads getting 100's of guests views which raised questions around the change, but this has been reverted now due to many reasons mentioned within the thread.
Upload Images Testing By Omniscient
Over the last few weeks, we have seen a new feature added to the website around the new encrypted images being used, and this thread has been the testing ground for the new feature. From everyone testing the images on site, the feature seems to have been implemented well and everyone seems to be enjoying the new feature. If you are wanting to check it out or have not tried it yet, be sure to go and see what all the hype is about on the thread.
Profile Redesign By Omniscient
A change people have talked about for a while now is the current profile design. We have currently got two profiles on the site. One for the general account and one for the market side of the website. Omniscient has stated they are looking to make a change to this by bringing them together in some way to allow these to all be on one screen instead of having two separate profiles, which can cause confusion between members on the site. Many members have pitched in a few different ways to make this happen. Go and see if you like any of the current ideas or maybe even share your own.
Member Contest Rules & More By Mix
A new thread making the Member Contests Rules much clearer has been published this week, which has made the pinned threads a far less of a mess and made everything a lot more clear for members who are looking to host or enter the new contests that have been popping up as of recently. With this new thread, it has summed up around three threads into one, and kept things short and simple to allow members who don't want to read too much but to understand the rules for the contests. If you have not seen the official post yet, be sure to check this one out.

Why Small Habits Shape Your Future
Big goals often feel overwhelming, which is why many people struggle to stay consistent. The truth is, success is rarely about one big action—it’s about small habits repeated daily. Every time you choose discipline over comfort, you are shaping your future self. Whether it’s studying for 20 minutes, exercising briefly, or limiting distractions, these small actions build momentum. Over time, consistency turns into progress, and progress turns into results.
Advice of the week
Don’t focus on doing everything at once. Focus on doing something every day.
Quote of the week
“Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements.” — John C. Maxwell
