I have no idea what the "lock project" button does.
The new layout for the My Stuff page, with the projects in a vertical list and only 9 per page is terrible.

Kevin, it seems that you are trying to hijack the thread here, shame, shame! But, while we are on the topic of complaints with the new layout, we might as well try to be specific. What don't you like about it and how would you rather see it?

Well, on the plus side, it does make the page load faster for those people that have lots and lots of friends. Where is this Lock Project control anyway?

I am not picking a side, nor causing a debate; but what exactly is the problem that Kevin Karplus is supposedly doing?

Kevin is changing the topic of the thread. The thread name is "Lock project" but Kevin is suddenly talking about about other aspects of the web site change. It is something that he, as a moderator, is continually pointing out in others (and rightly so!). I'm not being overly serious here, just joking around. Actually, the Lock Project is part of the whole web site change so it's more a case of expanding the topic rather then hijacking it.
I think Kevin, and all the moderators, do a great job.

Ok, I was just a little confused.

Apologies.. It was an experimental feature that shouldn't have been released. The goal was to have the ability to disable/enable comments on a project.
Lock has been disabled now.
As for the changes to the MyStuff page the idea is to avoid loading lots of elements at once to make the page load faster. Could you articulate more about what you don't like and why? My impression is that finding your friend now it's harder perhaps because you have to click on "See more" under the friends section? I am thinking about having the "See more page" a page with a list of all your friends instead of having to browse. What do you think?

Well before under galleries there would be an X for deleting/unjoining on gallery's i did not own but now its on gallery's i own and not on the ones i dont own! so now if i want to leave a gallery i cant remove it! same with friends ( not that i would want to get rid of friends ) Also when i click on add projects to gallery only some project come up not all of them!

I appreciate the ideas behind the new layout, but I'd rather have it show projects (my own ones and the ones I've favorited) in a couple of columns again. Right now they're lined up in one very long vertical column (I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.11 on a WinXP here at home), which makes the "my stuff page" really awkward to look at and to navigate around in.

I think that is a great idea, it would be way better that way!
Also, where says 5 recent friends, it would be nice if it also said the total number of friends.

And I like the new layout in some ways. The pages do load much faster!
Offline
yeah, I noticed that too, on galleries

The galleries for some reason won't let you be able to see all of your projects. I think the reason is negative side-effects of the scratch team changing everything, and, judging by the comments I've heard, subsequently made it worse than before.

One of the main problems for me before was that pages loaded so slow, and froze up my computer. That has been fixed now!
I do not think the changes were bad, except for the friends.
But what do people mean about the "My Stuff" page being in a column?

I found a bug in the new system:
I wanted to add a project to a gallery. I clicked the "add projects" button, but the list showed only six of my projects! Those were in fact my oldest projects.
