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

18. You drill down into a forum, press back, and your at the top of the forums and have to drill back down.
19. Going to TDN give 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found error'.
20. Nav Banner now showing on all pages, only way to nav is 'back'

Last I checked, there's no support for deploying TGB on Linux, 360, Wii, or the web. And to deploy for the iphone you need to buy a different product. I guess two and a half out of seven ain't bad.
If anyone actually went to that page and clicked "Buy", they'd get something *very* different from what's advertised
31b. Similarly, if you go to the Torque 3d page [which currently sells you TGEA if you were to click buy], there's a large feature list of stuff that's supposedly in Torque3d and *not* in TGEA. For example, "an abstracted C++ Physics API [... and] samples include PhysX, ODE, Bullet"

31. http://www.garagegames.com/products/torque-2D look at the cross-platform bit. It's listed as TGB supporting "PC, Mac, Linux, XBox360, Wii, iPhone, or the Web".Last I checked, there's no support for deploying TGB on Linux, 360, Wii, or the web.

34. i'm surely just missing it, but where is the "what's new in all watched forums" section of the old site ?

33. user profiles no longer link to the threads/resources/etc posted by a user; they just tell how many of them there are.34. i'm surely just missing it, but where is the "what's new in all watched forums" section of the old site ?

I purchased TorqueX but when I try to log into my account, this site just does not find my account. There wasn't a "lost password" link anywhere.

39. Another thing.. avatars need added back in if for no other reason to break up the white. Employees, associates, owners etc NEED designated under their names in posts.
40. The forums.. if I have the garagegames section open, and hit refresh.. does it really need to collapse itself back down so I then have to go through and open all the drop downs back up?

38. something I've noticed.. yea I know its only been a day. But the site seems.. over-simplistic now. Like.. the forums seem to be reduced down and compiled into to few sections. The depth of the site.. its character I guess is somewhat missing as well. No screen shot gallery.. no .plan section.. no pics seemly of any kind really make the site take a hit on a "homey" feeling. Seems very sterile now. 39. Another thing.. avatars need added back in if for no other reason to break up the white. Employees, associates, owners etc NEED designated under their names in posts.
