Paradox store is hard to find on forum site

[wukk]

I don't know if it's just me but outside of the times that something is on sale I find it too hard to find the paradox store on the forums site.

I check the forums probably once every two days to see if my favourite game has some relevant new forum posts or if some new game is about to be published. I never go to paradox shop as my first location when browsing paradox pages, it's always the forums.

Now my questions is: If there are no new releases or there is no sale ongoing, why on earth is it so hard to find an easy link to go to the shop? If there is a new release or sale, usually the forums have an add (on the carousel) with a link that is semi-easy to find (a buy button) but other times (like just now) there is literally no link anywhere to click to go to the shop, or it's just so well hidden that I cannot find it.

Is there a button that I just cannot see?

If not could you add one so it would make my shopping easier?

You can click the platypus in the upper right to go to the main Paradox website, which includes the store:

It's being worked on . We intend to add a Store button in the top bar (next to / before) Support. I'm also working on a specific forum that is sharing all announcements we make (including sales) and watching that forum will ensure you never miss a thing .

Thanks for the quick answer, good to know! Makes me happy.

Please make the button easy to see!

What's the reason the button was removed in the first place?
Either way I think that readding that button is a really great idea and I've been missing it quite a bit of times.

watching that forum will ensure you never miss a thing .

Except that watching entire fora doesn't show up in your subscriptions page after the migration, but only is showed on a separate page which makes it more invisible. Quite a shame.

Oversight I think, I wasn't here for the migration and to be honest I always thought it was there ><. Having it bookmarked means I never had to look for it but hopefully it will be sorted, possibly this evening.

First off, I'm impressed at your use of "fora" ! Not many people get that right !
Secondly, I'm actually in the other camp. I quite like having it on a separate page as it makes it easier to see what's new in each forum instead of having to waddle through other "subscriptions" as well. But I see your point though.

I think you misunderstood me. I'm not talking about having the new threads of subscribed fora be mixed with your ordinary subscriptions. What I mean is that when you subscribe to a forum it'll show you if there's new posts in said forum. In the old forum that happened beneat your subscriptions, whereby both at a quick glance telling you whether anything new had happened, and giving you a neat hotlink to the specific fora. After the migration things were the same, except that the list of subscribed fora had been moved to a new page thereby removing the possibility to at a quick glance see whether anything new had happened.
It was that change I'm sad about, since that new page ends up making it a bit invisible what happens in your subscribed fora.

(Has the subscribe to forum feature been changed so that the individual threads in the subscribed fora are now shown in a list like the subscribed threads list? Otherwise I'm not sure I understand what it is you dislike about the how it used to be.)

I agree, I think a rather large number of regulars had the usercp as a landing page, I know I did. Still one of the biggest things I miss from the Vbul days., You can get something close in the Watched forums tab, but I would agree it is not as good a summary being only that.

By usercp do you then mean the subscriptions page? If so then I agree that most regulars probably went straight to that when loading the fora. I at least did.
Heck I still have the subscriptions page as my default forum page.
