I was working thru the site and then it changed.... and I rebooted my computer.... un-installed Add Block, changed browsers... and hit the forum to find this post. I love it!! Much easier to get around on and I love the bar at the top. Well done.

+1 for Aphrodite's picture. It;'s just bad caching though. Had to clear the file and cookie cache to get rid of it.
What's the X for at the upper right? I would think it would be to get rid of that bar but appears not to do anything. Using firefox 3.6.12 on Windows 7 for reference.

drmike,
that 'x' is to close the google search which shows a popup when you search the site. Tis a bit confusing when not actually doing search. Took me a minute as well.

Well been back for 15 minutes and all I'm seeing are:
The page you are looking for is temporarily unavailable.
Please try again later.
errors. Took about 10 minutes to answer one single question, having to wait for the server to respond.
Also it seems like the site now has lots of target="new" tags. Answering an AIO question got me 6 new tabs. That's really an issue considering I already have a couple dozen tabs open trying to answer other questions and it makes things hard to find. Gotta admit I'm not really happy about that.

Well, the site just ate two of my posts on another thread and this one thanks to that timeout error. Hopefully I can remember everything in there.
-1 for the new plugin pages. I seem to recall the folks here begging you all for a simple list of plugins. That way we can find stuff quickly. Now we've gone down to only 12 plugins per page. A big -1 for that. Now we (well at least i do) have to flip between pages back and forth looking for a plugin when someone asks a question? They're in no order that I can tell either. Makes answering questions harder since we have to dig just to find the files to begin with.
re: drmike's comment on usability, I'd love to see a plain text version of the site with all plugins & links to download on 1 page, or, even better, an svn repo. I understand why you wouldn't want to make the trunk & nightlies available, but a repo of latest stable releases + trac would rock.
I've also noticed a drastic slowdown with the new theme. Happy to provide debug info on that if you'd like.

I think we've asked for the single page list as well, was told that it would be considered and that's the last I heard about it.
James is aware of the slowdown. I emailed him bugging about it.
Can you tell I;m in a bad mood today? Sorry for taking it out here but my time is very limited (and bellringing starts in 2 weeks. My own clients are dumping stuff on me hoping to get it looked at before I spilt.) and not being able to help out is frustrating.

Hiya guys,
Thanks everyone for feedback. I totally agree drmike. I love having a page where all plugins are listed in order to keep from scrolling. You want my *top secret* link? http://premium.wpmudev.org/wpmu/
Only WordPress, not BuddyPress, but still pretty stinkin' good.

Yes, it does help. Not in any order again that I can see but I can live with doing a CTRL-F to find stuff. (edit: Of course I have to remember to find the link....)
It looks like the buddypress theme page has been updated to show all the themes. That was an issue previously where the drop downs up there didn't list all of them. Can we please double check that all of the major themes are found on those pages please?
And I haven't seen any time out issues in the last few minutes. Hopefully that's a good sign.
I;m seeing buddypress plugins on the wordpress plugin page. Should that be?
Seeing the buddypress terms of service plugin at the upper left there.
The wordpress chat plugin icon is rather scary.
There's no alt tags on the images. Not sure if that's a concern but I would like to see them. (edit: I stand corrcted as I was looking at the links. The alt tags are in a "project-129" style. Maybe changing them to be the project names would be a good idea.)
The installation links are opening in a new window while the Forum and ebook links open in the same window.
Whoever has fishyblogs.com has a spammer at cheapestsebagoboatshoe on their site. (It's listed on my user profile page on the backend.)
Heya Drm (and everyone else) thanks for the feedback.
The forums are next on the list for a revamp, with url, version fields and other cool stuff on the cards - we'll definitely be seeking your serious input into the process!

I would like to repeat my request for url and version fields in the create a new thread form.
