Who are the current What Hi-Fi

....reviewers and do they/will they ever participate on the forum, offering advice?

The days of reviewers making countless posts a day are long gone, fully appreciate that.
Nevertheless, it would good to read the occasional post from those who keep the mag/online reviews rolling out.
Just a thought.

He's not directly employed by What Hi Fi. Future has a dedicated community team for running forums of brands owned by Future Plc. (Like Tom's Guide) In fact, if I'm not mistaken, Steve Haines lives in the US.

The structure of how the forum runs makes it unlikely for dedicated WHF staff to be having within their job plan to visit the forum.

Actually I have no idea as to who does the reviews these days as I rarely read the magazine.

I believe it’s really about site navigation/search. Because I check the-dedicated Advice tab/section every day…:

Truthfully, if we’re serious about discussing forum-community/culture, it’s good (from one extreme) that enthusiasts get their answer/solution (and enjoy their Hi-Fi) but not visit/contribute again?

Vs. (the other extreme) frequent members who… let’s just say will definitely tire (if not despair) the-reviewers.


Personally, (I won’t tag him because he may well be happy, being away, enjoying his Hi-Fi) matt-piano might be right… I'm thinking a Winter/Summer break…
