    We’re excited to announce some big changes coming to the site! Starting July 4th we’ll be updating our homepage and adding some new features for you to enjoy. Don’t worry, we’re keeping all the parts of our community website that you’ve come to know and love as is, just adding a few new elements to make our website more functional and intuitive. Here’s what you can expect.

    You’ll be able to…

    BOOK 1-on-1 lessons with Frank and others
    You can book lessons online or in-person so that you can get feedback wherever you’re located!

    GET MORE with our new subscription service
    It’ll now be easier to manage your subscription and gift subscriptions to others! You’ll now be able to update or cancel your subscription directly from your account.

    I should also mention, pricing will not be changing at all, we’re only moving in order to have access to a more modern system with better features for all of you.

    Have access to everything going on across the site
    This site has grown to have the community, articles, videos, a shop, and more, so it only makes sense to have a page where you can see everything going on and have quick access to all of it.

    The HideTV Creator Network
    We’re also starting a new system where anyone can create videos on HideTV and earn money from it! More details to come soon, but if you’re interested, PM me!

    More updates to come so keep an eye out on the Hide!


    Here's a rough idea of what the new homepage will look like, excited to roll it out 😁

    The decision to go with white text on a black/dark grey background is a mistake. A huge mistake.

    It is well-documented and well-understood that white on black is the worst way to generate reading text. This combination creates accelerated eye strain, reduced letter perception resulting in slower reading speeds, and is especially troublesome for people with astigmatism. Text is best created with dark (grey/black preferred) letters on light (white or off-white preferred) backgrounds. If you doubt this, a quick look-up will generate pages of research and case-usage proving this fact.

    Now I get people think the black background creates some kind of hip, cool look. But it is functionally flawed. And this is a group that consistently strives to place function over form. If this was a a Fast n Furious fanboy site, maybe there would be an argument for cool. Not here.

    So please, PLEASE, change the font back to something readable. At least create the option for us to select which font colors we use.

    Scroll to the bottom. Click here and change it. I like dark 2020 because it doesn't blind me. I also use dark mode elsewhere when I can. Wife would also kill me if I didn't when I am browsing at night before bed.

    Please answer the question-does snipers hide go away and we have to pay for snipers TV?

    Forum? No.
    Training and other stuff like live? Might go through there.
    Hide related video hosting? Might be hosted there. Idk about under the hood.
    Having to deal with PayPal? Completely gone.
    Merch? TheHide.Tv

    If you go there and click around on links Article, Forums, and Resources they all link here.

    So I may be retarded...

    But do I need to change anything with my subscription? I've been a paying supporter for over 2 years. Do I get a 40% discount on my monthly dues? Then there's the 15% off I am seeing now.

    So what's the deal? Do I just leave my PayPal subscription and pay through that? And no discounts for paying membership but newbies get a discount?

    Spoon feed me please.

    I would say yes.
    PayPal payment is going away. I would switch.

    So I can switch to " hide tv" and pay the same and get less then what I got as a supporter on snipershide. Or I can pay more and get the same that I get as a supporter previously??

    Really starting to feel like a boomer now...

    So sad. I was on the old Snipers Hide under a different log in starting around 2010-2011. I had to start again the system changed. I love the
    Information I get from Snipers Hde, but cannot afford and do not need or use Snipers TV. Yes I am a Vet and 81.

    The I.T. migration seems to be going fairly well from the view of a supporting member- it's easy to change the color theme back to light, and the forum looks the same. My renewal payment went thru fine. Thank God we're doing a hard disconnect from that anti-gun PayPal.

    Sorry to dig this thread back up but is anyone else still getting double billed after signing up for HideTV?

    Hey, happy to help with this! Moving to HideTV does not automatically cancel your PayPal subscription, but I can take a look on my end and get your subscription cancelled on the PayPal side.
