Oh, and I also have the direct URL to the image seen in the left-hand column:

Steve,

I've emailed you privately. I've managed to come across the design as well. I've screencapped it, copied the source code from the main page, and saved the stylesheet as well.

Please don't be shy about posting the apology once you receive it.

Oops, forget that. I've got the full URLs.

It personally looks to me like it's just a test, as it's not hosted on the WordPress.com servers.

Hmm, it looks to me like it's not even being generated by WordPress at all any more.

If possible, can you post the full URLs to the CSS and image files please?
Also, do you have any cookies for themes.wordpress.net?

Can you upload the HTML and images too please? I'd love to try and reproduce this.

Also, with regards to Lloyd's post, Matt Thomas is currently doing the design for WordPress.org and may not have mentioned this.

if you do in the future remember this as a valuable lesson .. document everything and don't take anything for granted. I probably could have saved myself a lotof grief :)

Drat it, now I can't see the new version. I only get the old theme viewer. But anyway, I'm pretty sure that I saw this theme before anyone had blogged about it, I wish that I had broke the news :(. I've always wanted a bit of controversy on my blog :-)

I recon they're probably doing some sort of A/B testing of a new design, only showing a certain small percentage of viewers the new design. They've probably dropped a cookie onto your computer when you saw it the 1st time, which is why you keep seeing it while others don't.

Awesome! Although I wasn't publicly chastised, probably because I didn't go public, I can't help but feel vindicated as well. At the top of that screen shot you can see the choice to select different view options that I mentioned earlier over at WeblogToolsCollection. How could I possibly know that? Oh, I must have been in cahoots with you. ;)
