These are some of the ones I gathered from afew different places. It might be easier if we just list things in one place.

3. Screen shot gallery
4. No password reminder to be found
5. Forum posts links broken
6. Issues concerning the associates forum/navigation

I'm becoming rather boggled by the choice to switch blog/forum threads to a paged layout... there are several issues and no clear benefit.
61) Followed/read links should change color! And if (when!) the "Mark all read" comes back, all links should show in the followed/read color.

60) The "Add Your Reply" is always at the bottom. Initially this seems convenient, but it also looks like you're at the bottom of the thread! (The confusion on numbering above was caused by this.)

62) The initial forum post should be formatted to appear as a forum post to clearly differentiate forum posts from blog posts.

64) Related: If there are multiple pages, show all available pages. I don't know how many times I've clicked on the "7" thinking that was the last page, only to discover there were actually 9, 10 or more pages.

63) If you must continue with the paged layout for everything, you absolutely must include buttons that will take the user to the very first or very last page.64) Related: If there are multiple pages, show all available pages.

65) The fixed width is becoming annoying. Do not enforce expectations on the user's window width. There are times I will slide it off to one side so it's somewhat narrow (like 500-600 pixels wide) but I still want to be able to read ALL the text sans horizontal scroll bar.

67) When you go to edit a current blog post, all current tags are replaced with the word "array", and this happens each time you press the edit pencil.

68) Blogs or Forums to be read in one continuous length like the old site. Paging 1,2,3,4 to read is too much

seeing your comment posted to the page you were just on.
71) Initial blog is taking up the same space on every page, instead of just once, on the first page

On the HOME page as your 4 images Cycle and the button changes with them I see no text on those
buttons.
But on My P.C at home I can see text on those buttons as the images cycle.

73) no way (or not obvious) to be notified when people add comments to blog posts, including your own.

75) When pressing "back" to return to the list of forums (from the list of forum threads), the forums list tree is collapsed. Please either remember the nodes that were expanded, or always expand every node (so all forums are viewable).

76) My issue will own yours all: When purchasing Torque X Platformer Kit, an error occurs. I tried three times, and the same error occurred all three. When I checked my credit card, it was charged all three times, and the product is not on my account to download. How about that?

78) It looks like the Google search appliance is not being used anymore. This is too bad.
79) If forums aren't going to be categorized more, at least provide us with the ability to tag threads and posts. Heck, provide both for ultimate navigability.
80) More profile customization (I've mentioned this before)
81) Too much wasted space in the header(This is my personal opinion)
Actually, I have no use for the header. I don't need any of the stuff up there. I know the link for TDN, search (even though it isn't helpful right now). I guess just not the account link.

77) Following the issue 68, the site lacks the ability for people to choose how they want the website to work. People should be able to choose whether they want one long page or a bunch of different ones. Also, If a new What's New page is developed, please let users the ability to drag n drop different content they are interested in and the order. Give users options, otherwise, they will not think of GG as a home like they used to.78) It looks like the Google search appliance is not being used anymore. This is too bad.

83) Following up on the "no links to see users posts, blogs, threads, tools" and "Torque and forum personnel need another name other than 'Torque Owner'". It is rather hard to see who is who around the forum, and we seriously need the ability to view the users' posts and all by clicking in their profile.
84) RSS feeds for watched topics.

82) a suggestion: when you buy a product and go back to the product page, instead of it saying "buy now" it should be replaced with a "download now" allowing you to acquire the full product from the product page.83) Following up on the "no links to see users posts, blogs, threads, tools" and "Torque and forum personnel need another name other than 'Torque Owner'".
