  Hello

  I am seriously thinking about changing my theme. For this reason I have been spending hours in the Themes Showcase website. But now for some reason some of the links come up with the following announcement : “The blog http://themes.wordpress.com was marked private by its owner. You need to be invited to view this blog. For more information about blog privacy settings, please visit our support site.” which usually comes up when a website comes up as private. What is going on?

  Here are the links for which I see that, could you check for me if it is my browser or if there is a problem. Just a few exampls:
  For Headlines : http://themes.wordpress.com/themes/headlines/
  For Digg 3: http://themes.wordpress.com/themes/digg3/
  For Coraline : http://themes.wordpress.com/themes/coraline/

  etc

  Cookie dance required?

  Yes I noticed that too. I assume that Staff are working on the themes. I’ll flag this thread so it gets Staff attention and we get an answer.

  Well I tried the links again and they are no longer set to private. All 3 are accessible now.

  Hi sunnisme,
  The URLs you mentioned above might not work correctly because the subdomain for the Theme Showcase is singular “theme” not “themes” — if you see a link to the former please let us know so we can fix it.
