[center]Okay, this is the gayest thing ever. I reinstall StarCraft, now I'm back to v1.04 and now I gotta download the patch up to v1.2 which includes all the other updates and takes me like four hours.[/center]

I don't get why all you guys have to reinstall SC. I just dl the patch in 2 minutes and I'm done. 
On another note, the friends button does make the left side a bit cramped... just like the password recovery and email buttons at the login screen. I think the mini-map ping would be quite useful so you can show the stupid newb to stay EXACTLY there because if they go too far they die.
On the other hand, there's the previews. I think Blizzard dealt well with the previews working only with Meelee. Considering their past record of laziness on Broodwar(*cough*WWIII&WoW*cough*, you wouldn't expect them to actually put effort in making a preview optional or make it like a "trailer" preview did you? Making it that the minimap is not on UMS is good because it keeps the map from crashing when it has extended players (Yay extended players!), and if they did, they would probably make it such that EVERY ums map would have to have a preview (which is bad for rpg maps and maps with surprises and such)
All in all, I think its 1 step forward in the direction to the Brood War industrial age.
(yet I still think the friends button cramps the chatting screen
)

hmm, its finally out... expect it to be patched within the next few days if they really care about us . Seems the group really excited about this patch would be the Koreans. Maybe they can make map makers happy next with a higher string limit patch .
Oh yea to answer:
Yes, it has always been like that, you never took screenshots of channels that were really full before just to prove your channel was that busy once? .

Here are some screenshots. Is it just me or was it always like when you press CTRL+Print Screen in a b.net chat channel it actually ASKS where to save it?

Is that possible without huge changes to the game engine or how it works or whatever?

little thing i noticed watching a replay (pretty sure this is new) if you click on a gateway (and i assume everything else that makes stuff) it will make a click thing at the rally point if it is on the screen.

It killed one of my maps... it made it crash on entry
Edit: I think it killed the use of extended units. (the extra units you place in starforge) for example unit 2008.
ReEdit: After checking the Uncloak DT expermental map, the uncloak DT trick doesn't seem to work too. I will be testing cloaking units later.
PS: This patch sucks.

Which map crashed? Yeah, extended units are gone, but I'm not sure about Uncloak/Cloak DT... Some of the extended players still work... maybe the effect has just "moved" to another player.

Btw, the map preview isn't JUST for melee. DK and I found out it also work on capture the flag. I'm sure there are also other gametypes that work just fine with it but the fact that UMS isnt one of them is upsetting.

No, they havn't. You're just probably noticing how it changes every time now because before you weren't paying too much attention. They change every time you load the map or create a unit.
And I remember everyone CRYING like BABIES because "OMG MAP PREVIEW WILL SCREW UP UMS GAMES!!11O1enoneeleven//seizure". Turns out, I was semi-right.
There is also a new bug introduced. You can hide yourself from your friends' friends list by using the square ( ) character. Also, when using it, or any colour codes, your text will appear invisible.
So you may also add under the first post "Non-stated changes" or something like that.

Before people start spamming "how do I type it?" just hit control backspace and it will appear.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by hide your self from your friends' list by using []... Yes, I know thats not the correct character, its just I can't type the real one.

Read my post. Basically if you join a channel with [] or make any game with [] in it you will show up as a blank line or won't even show up at all if the person viewing it is in a game in the /f list.
