Argh double post, sorry, you can delete this one.

So, if I watch a video in HTML5 and full screen, everything works fine while the video is playing but once it's over, all I get is a black screen with the red play button in the middle of the screen. If I lost the focus on the windows (for example doing something on my other screen while watching the video) the only way to get out at the end is to either click play and then the full screen button or click anywhere on the screen and then escape. The video will automatically restart when I click anywhere on it.

It's not a big deal but it's really annoying if you are only watching html5 videos in fullscreen like I always do.

I've been having a weird issue with the embedded youtube player on the site for a little while. When I watch a video I can't access the controls at the bottom. It's like if the videos is too big for the spot dedicated to it on the webpage. The only way I can control it is if I double click the video to make it full screen. Then I have access to everything but if I exit full screen I will still be stuck.

Since youtube is the only reliable player option this is quite problematic when I watch content!

@soup_menu: Great app! I just got an iPad a couple of weeks ago and I love the app for my GB needs on the go.

The only thing missing is a Random quicklook button. Something similar to that would be amazing.

Keep up the good work!

Why is the new layout not showing up for me? I'm a premium member and everything.

Renaming Browse to Wiki is a good idea. Having a larger search bar is a good idea. It seems they got rid of the Friends Online, and User Level identiers, which is a bit of a shame. I don't understand the need for two Store links however. Either keep the one on the bar, and remove the one by the logo. Or keep the old logo one, and swap the bar one back to being Help.

The layout itself is nice.

Oh wow you are right I didn't notice before. This is incredibly stupid. The first thing I ALWAYS do when go on GB is check who is online and then click on the "Following" button to see the latest site activity for the people I follow.

It's not gone! You get that by clicking on your profile picture in seaserpent. It defaults to showing activity from <user name>'s Friends, instead of <user name>'s Activity.

edit: I should have said, Friends Online does seem to be gone, but the shortcut to activity by followed users was just moved not removed.

Yeah I noticed that afterward. I didn't see it at first because the twitter integration is working again and the site activity was lost in the middle of all the tweets heh. Now I wish there was a checkbox to hide my friends tweets. I'm already following them on twitter so I don't need to see them there. I looked trough the options but couldn't find anything.

I like the overall look of the new site but I'm seriously disappointed with the video page.

For a website revolving around its video content the page dedicated to that sure is lacking in the feature departement...

I guess it's just really disappointing to see that some features that have been asked by the community for years are still missing after a full rebuild of the site. Here's a list of what I could think off the top of my head:

• Tagging/Filters to split videos in categories. For example the option to see all Racing Game quicklooks or all Fighting Games quicklook etc.
• Search by date or date range.
• "Play next" on endurance run videos.
• Showing the date posted and video length on the video page (on the page itself or when you mouse over the thumbnail for example).
• No way to only show the GB Original Content and filter out the PR trailers
• Would be great too to have an option with the video search to only search in the current category. For example if you go in the quicklook section (so you only see ql videos) and you search something you will still get results from Trailers, live shows, etc.

To this days there's still a bunch of videos I have no idea how I could search for them and I'm forced to go browse the list manually until I find them. Especially in the features section (How to build a bomb, how to move, office tours, etc).
