New Website
I assume these are just initial glitches, but just in case you're looking for feedback on the new website (all of this with FF 3.6.18 on Linux):
- Clicking on the column headings in My Library doesn't sort
- Clicking on "Edit" for an individual item results in two read bars "Something went wrong but we don't know what" and then a blank field in the middle (where the citation data is usually displayed)
- the Start a new discussion button on the forum is mangled (the two red fields overlap, "discussion" covers most of "Start a new" up.
But concept etc. is looking very good, this is exciting. Also seem very fast.

This discussion has been closed.
- there are some dead links at http://www.zotero.org/support/
- below the forum comment text box, the "Text" and "Html" (which really should be "HTML") options show up arranged vertically below "Format comments as"
- below the forum comment text box, the buttons "Add your comments" and "Preview Post" have black text on a dark red background, which is unclear (also, it should probably be "Preview post" for case consistency).
Keep the issues coming.
* The Message Center is a bit messy. The pages http://www.zotero.org/message/inbox and http://www.zotero.org/message/sent have different formatting:
- http://www.zotero.org/message/inbox doesn't show the "Inbox"/"Sent"/"Compose" buttons
- http://www.zotero.org/message/inbox uses a grey background for posts, while http://www.zotero.org/message/sent uses alternating white and grey
- http://www.zotero.org/message/sent doesn't offer the ability to delete sent posts
- when selecting an sent message at http://www.zotero.org/message/sent, the Inbox button gets highlighted
* https://www.zotero.org/settings/commons is the only page of the settings pages showing navigation buttons instead of links.
* pages like https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys and https://www.zotero.org/message/inbox have no white space between the page content and the grey banner. This is confusing.
* the links on the right at https://www.zotero.org/rintze/cv ("Curriculum Vitae", "Library", "Send Message", "Report Abuse") are now arranged horizontally, which is unclear.
* on my profile page (http://www.zotero.org/rintze), the "Groups" header and listing are positioned next to my followers, instead of below them.
This is all with Firefox 5.0 on Windows 7.
And related, but perhaps bigger, I'm not a fan of how much vertical real estate is wasted by the current library design; particularly the header (but also the footer). On one hand, it's a lot of space. OTOH, the only search field available is for the whole site, which is definitely not very attractive to me. If I'm in my library, I want it to have the entire focus, which includes a dedicated search field.
* Obviously, the column names in the Library Settings dialog should be spelled out, but you're probably aware of that.
* People category links don't work, e.g. https://www.zotero.org/people/Aeronautics
* Library views don't offer item counts anywhere, except for Tags, which display it in a hover tooltip. Would be nice if collections behaved like Tags, and if total item count were visible somewhere.
* items in Trash can be "Moved to Trash" but not permanently deleted
* attachments moved to Trash keep showing up under parent item also (confusingly)
* toolbars in Trash same as elsewhere (not context sensitive) — makes it seem like it is possible to delete Trash, rename it, add a subcollection to it, or create a new item in it.
* it is in fact possible to create a new item from the toolbar in Trash, but the item is added to My Library.
Mendeley (http://www.mendeley.com/import/) and EndNote Web (http://www.myendnoteweb.com/help/en_us/ENW/he_capture.htm) offer similar features.
When I click on the "2" to get to the second page of the results, the results are appended on the bottom and another numbers bar is added next to the first one. Clicking on the "3" a third numbers bar is added.
Hard to describe - here are the three number bars next to each other:

Are you still getting issues with editing items as in your first post?
