Looks like the move is inevitable, so I'm gonna talk straight about
the new site... no pulling punches because I know you guys can take
it.  :-)

. The text is FAR too big on my browser (Firefox 3.0.10).   A whole
lot of scrolling just to get to the 5th message.  I have to drop down
a text size just to get the menu items to fit on one line.  Likewise,
the news items on the side just stack up on top of each other because
they don't have enough room to breathe.  It seems that the column
sizes are exceptionally narrow (it's only using a 1/3rd of my
screen)... a combination of widening the text area and dropping down
the text size on the headings would make the whole page a lot cleaner
and easier to read.  An auto-sizing page would be ideal.

. Is there a way to migrate the files en masse to the new site?  It
would be a shame to lose a bunch of the useful ones just because
someone wasn't around to help out with the move.  Of course, the list
could also use a bit of pruning...

. Now that I mention it, it would be helpful to add a "Grasshopper
Challenge" section where people who are looking for help can post
their broken files.  We don't want a whole bunch of "how do I loft 3
shapes together" files clogging up the examples section.  :-)

. Check out rhinoscript.org -  there's not a lot of material, but they
have good ideas about sample files and the layout is pretty clean...
It would be helpful to have 1) an option to upload a JPG that can be
used as the patch's thumbnail, and 2) a field where the uploader can
add which version the patch was created in, especially because future
releases have the potential to cause incompatibilities with older
files.

Anyway, I know you've guys have got your hands full making the actual
program better every day, but these improvements would go a long way
to creating a rich user forum experience.

Sincerely,
Marc
