Another bug I think - when I am viewing screenshots on a product page (Baldu's Gate for example), there doesn't seem to be a way to close the popup screenshot image.
There may be some secret way to pop it back down that I am not seeing...

Yes, external links were set to _blank and now they're set to _self. apparently Pretty damn annoying to click a link and go off site instead of geting a new window. Don't know if it's a bug or a new feature though.

seems that links to the gog downloader have been removed from the shelf page

The GOG downloader has been retired. A new one is apparently being coded.

Yeah, someone from staff said they'll be bringing it back, although no time frame was given i think.

Pages: 1.2.3.4.5.6...etc

Page links at top of thread links is fine - .../page2 ... /page3.... etc
Page links at bottom of thread links are still coded to point in the Beta-fashion
.../_/2 ..../_/3 ...etc

I sure hope it's a bug. Regardless, they need to revert it back to the way it was.

New users' avatar setting is wrong, they point to
/upload/www/default/-img/new user_big.png
but should be
/www/default/-img/newuser_big.png

Also, the string breaker is bad, it cut off the code for the last link between [/ and url] before I edited the link text to be slightly shorter.

I'm really hoping it's a bug or an oversight too. It's very annoying to be taken off site.

Whatever you guys changed, it has quite frankly ruined the rep system. The earlier system: one point for each day you post, 5 points for solving something, a point for an unknown number of positive votes, etc. almost made the rep system meaningful, in that it was for all practical purposes, an indication of the quality of a particular poster's community contributions. Now it seems to be little more than an indication of how often you post, not how well you post. This will just encourage spamming, which is what we have all feared from the start of the rep system.

EDIT - Only 30 minutes on the site today and I've already gained another 3 or 4 rep points. Rep used to be a challenge to get, which is what made the rep of users like Rallack so impressive. He got his high rep through very significant and extremely useful participation in the community, now it seems that just showing up here gets you more rep per day than Rallack was able to earn on a weekly basis with all the technical help he has provided to so many people

Also, it appears that when rep updates, it only updates in the most recent post, all previous posts by a user still reflect whatever rep they had when they made that post. This is a huge step backwards for the GOG forums, since they long ago eliminated that particular bug.

At least four people cannot access their game accounts at all. Can I get a short confirmation from the team that someone is looking into this?

I hate pulling the "best customer" card, but it looks like the "best" customers of GOG are locked out of their accounts due to a bug in the site code. :p

I hope this can be resolved today because I don't know if GOG team works on weekends and I'd hate being unable to access my purchased games for a full week, I have a lot of downloading to do... :p

I don't think you actually gain 1 rep every time you post. Since the forums came back up my rep simply rotates between 729 to 733. So unless you're losing 1 rep every time someone down votes (without the post even indicating Low rated) then something is seriously screwed.

I agree though, before whatever changes were made, the rep system was working as well as it could. Now, it may as well just be your post count.

I know how you feel, but it is entirely possible with the large influx of users that is why Rep has been bouncing around.
Not just the new system.
I have made multiple posts to that thread that I cannot find either. :(

If you change your avatar after posting, the post will still contain your old avatar. Please change that, GOG.

This particular bug is a throwback to the early days of the GOG forums. When GOG first started, nothing in your user profile on individual posts would update, only new posts made after a profile change would contain the new stuff. It seems they have brought that back now, since not only are profile pictures not updating on old posts, neither is rep or forum titles.
