I'm really not happy that over 35 resources I had spent many many hours wading through other junk for no longer work.
The new site , while much cleaner looking, has crappy navigation.
Resources are not easy to find. And even though the search has been reworked does not mean that I'm not going to have to spend an hour trying to find each one again. I use these all the time.
This is also going to put a big hit on the forum responses. While it was easy before to help someone out when you had a bookmark for a resource, when they are all gone, not many are going to spend the time looking for a resource that was on the old site, but may not be able to find here.

also what happened to the whole unread/read all forum post thing we had before? made it really handy to check new posts and then mark them all as read and check back later when new posts were made.
personally thats a must have forum feature for helping others, and getting helping. a big giant forums with thousands of posts is not useful by itself, need to be able to just look at recent or new posts since last visit.

ugh no kidding after spending countless hours sifting through resources and linking them to help others, for personal reference, to get to later on for comment or to use on your own product.also what happened to the whole unread/read all forum post thing we had before? made it really handy to check new posts and then mark them all as read and check back later when new posts were made.
