It has been moved to the help page, we ran out of room on the new navigation.

That is a bad idea moving that from the menu bar, you can much rather swap the about with the store page link, alternative you can have a drop down menu, which works better, hiding away the store page on other pages especially for new users not aware of the store, is going to affect traffic drastically.

You already have the features page, do you really need the about page on the same menu bar, those could actually be linked on a single page.

For me it was the most important link on the menu bar, used most second to "forums".

It was moved at the request of TGC as they wanted the current items on the top level menu, I have passed on the concerns and will see what they say. I also agree that it should be pretty easy to find.

TGC have opted to put the link back under the about dropdown, is this easy enough for everyone to find?

Why can't features and about be under one heading and the store be separate or be under products, gives it equal footing with TGC additionally about is found at the bottom of the page as well, store should really be under it's own heading, about and features under one, it really does need to be two separate headings as it's already found on the bottom of the page.

I rarely click on drop down menu's unless every thing is on the drop down menu, I am not going to click on the about drop down menu neither is any other register user unfamiliar. any one unfamiliar with the layout is going to look or find the store link under about as it is an odd place to put it.

I would suggest sending an email to Lee he has ultimate power to change the links on the site.

How about as a clickable store icon of the store logo up with the social media links to save menu space?

I'd prefer it be one of the most visible items in the list. Thanks. Not within a drop-down....


There is a reason why its at the top of the page on most if not all engines that have an asset store/marketplace. Examples:

https://unity3d.com/
https://www.unrealengine.com
https://www.cryengine.com/

Thanks The Next for listening to our concerns

Personally I would rather just click a store button rather than hunt for it .
I do look quite often at what's new.

Yes, Please.

Seems like there's plenty of room left on the nav. bar...


Under "About" is kind of odd, IMO... If anything, the About dropdown should have Features and Tutorials since those are the active links on that page. Tucked into the Help section is odd too.

Yes, I want. I go to the store on a regular basis and just because TGC no longer makes any money (that's my understanding anyway) on the assets doesn't mean it should be hidden away from new people. Especially for those who are not model makers or lua script writers.

I agree the store button should be visible, not something you should have to find.

You want to make as visible as possible the things that will bring in the money. I imagine a lot more has be sent on store assets than GameGuru itself?

If I was new; I would have no idea that the store access was in the dropdown in the about section. Doesn't make much sense. I would think store sales would suffer, as a result.
