These are some of the ones I gathered from afew different places. It might be easier if we just list things in one place. Do not comment below please to keep it clean.. just post things noticed or issues for the GG people(save them the time of going in a bunch of different directions and having to sift through stuff).

1. Constructor forums gone
2. Edit posts/blogs ability missing
3. Screen shot gallery
4. No password reminder to be found
5. Forum posts links broken
6. Issues concerning the associates forum/navigation
7. Sales report page gone
8. Check box for blog notifications
9. Being able to mark all items as read
10. Recent forum posts listings requested back
11. Blogs.. seems to have a 100 word limit.. if so not nearly enough
12. Pop-up formating window gone (shows how to make links.. etc)
13. Page listings at the top as well as the bottom of posts/blogs

This was already listed in Andrew Brady's opening post, but this is a HUGE usability issue. Almost every other forum in the universe lets you quickly check what's new rather than wasting your time fishing around.

I don't understand why my account was working then all of a sudden I can't even log in.

50. Cannot remote login to TDN. I can't believe Garagegames did this change without some general email to the mailing lists, all my bookmark are broken. (they took months to collect)

All I get is "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" when I click on login from the TDN page (http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=&fulltext=Search&needLogin=1)

I can login to the new site (shows me all the products I have bought, but no blog access for some reason) but the old site (TDN) is broken for me. What makes this even more frustrating is that I cannot find any OFFICIAL response from GarageGames saying "Yes we aware of the problem and going to fix this by blah blah"

42. The "My Watched List" roll-out stops growing at 10. 11th thread & up that gets the "Notify me of new replies" check doesn't show up. If you have more than 10 then you have to unselect one or more of the old ones to get the newer ones to show up.

5?(4) - 55 - 5?(6). Access to the Media Kits seems to be missing. These were the logos/splashscreens that the EULA requires us to use.
