You may notice that the Greenfoot Gallery has a new look. All the work was done by JL235 with a couple of tweaks from me (for better or for worse). All the same material is here: the activity tab is the main page, and scenarios and discussion are still here too. Our intention is that the new design is less cluttered and a bit more up-to-date than the old look. We'll be continuing to work on it over the next few weeks, eventually merging the main Greenfoot website (which is really in need of replacement) and the Greenfoot Gallery into a single cohesive site. Please let us know if you experience any problems with the new site design.

In my opinion the old concept of dividing the Greenfoot homepage and the gallery was better. No the Gallery is a bit hidden I think.

The new look is much better, I think! The green background makes it a little bit more friendly and its easier to find the buttons, etc. now!

Now you just need to make a mobile site optimized for smart phones/iPads as much text from embedded code is cut in half (on an iPad)

Where can you see the ranking of the members? And if you take a look at the most popularest scenarios, and you want to see the second page... it changes to the just updated scenarios...

The links on my headers (on all pages: Activity, Overview, Tutorials, Download, Scenarios, and Discuss; and the Greenfoot Title) are not visible until my mouse moves over them. Also, the 'code' text in discuss is to large (font size) for the lines allotted them. 
//Example code showing the font size being to large
// for the height of the field.

Now, the header is visible on THIS page ONLY. All I am see in the header area is the search-bar, the star (for notifications), my icon, and the twitter button. When I click on the star, I see the icons other members, but do not see the words informing me from where they replied (unless I pass the mouse over it). The header is basically WHITE. I do not see the image of a green foot, either.

Thanks for all the comments. @danpost: can you tell me which browser, version and OS you're running so I can replicate the problem and fix it? e.g. Firefox 3.5, Win XP

Small issue, just a typo... In the overview page, you mention Greenfoot hubs and this doesn't sound particularly correct... 8 Several places around the world provide workshops for teachers, face-to-face training and support. These are the Greenfoot Hubs The "8 several places" part...

nccb, I am using IE 8 in Win XP Pro. If you need more specifics, let me know how to retrieve that info, thanks. Oh, and did we lose the members link?

Thanks danpost. It was a strange little Heisenbug that took me a few hours but it should be fixed now. The members link still exists, but currently it's not shown anywhere, it will be back soon. I'll also get working on the other issues everyone has mentioned, thanks for pointing them out. Edit: all the other issues mentioned earlier in this thread should now be fixed, too. Let me know if you spot any more problems.

Let me know if you spot any more problems.
The hyperlink to the members list in your post is barely distinguishable from the other text (Safari, Mac OS X). It is slightly bolder, but it is the same colour (black) as the rest of the text and lacks any other distinguishing feature (such as underline). :) While on the topic, usernames in the discussion are in a really spidery font. It's really too thin, barely a solid line.

I have been having problems with the 'Info, Followers, Following, Likes' section of member screen. Nothing is being removed and member icons are not displaying when changing between the four selections.

When I am not logged in, the Scenario and Discuss links are overlayed with the Signup and Lost Password links. I am running Firefox 5.0 on a Windows XP system with large fonts (125%).
There are more replies on the next page.
