So i have been hearing different opinions regarding this. Some members said the forums are nice, and others are finding the forums "confusing" and find it hard to find content/trainers.

Nothing is strongly on one side though so i am kind of confused here. The reason i switched to forums was mainly because of google not indexing and ranking us high on the store page. But it is turning out to be counter-productive now since people are finding it hard to find trainers lol..

The traffic has increased indeed but it might be to do with people now visiting one site than two, you know the store page and then forums separately, they are now on the main forums.

So help me take a decision here, i obviously want to choose something that you people find easy and would want to see. The result with majority will win or if someone suggested something that i really liked would win as well.

keep the store integrated with the forum, just use neuxus or something like that so all of the purchases are all in one place!

Forums, cause i love the option to give feedback and ideas about trainers - and also developer's oddly funny persona! :P
I haven't had much chance to get familiar with the store -  MW3 trainer is my first experience with team dEViATED - and after i gave my feedback on  store, the site went down - i couldn't even review my feedback. So... perhaps i would love the store, don't know... :(

FatSlob: The forums will stay at forums.deviatedha...  subdomain, just the store will serve as main page.

In my opinion you should try to link the store in some way to the forums. I don't know if there are any plugins/mods for this forumsoftware wich will do the job, but i am sure it can be achieved somehow.

I googled this shop mod thingy and it looks like nexus is a good, but expensive solution. Dunno how much more work you have to do by running 2 systems, but nexus is worth thinking about.

Alright, things should be back to like before with updated content. The profile pictures data got messed up due to update but just re-upload or refresh the content (CTRL+F5) to load it fresh and not from cache.

The skin would be back as well. I gotta sleep now tho.

You did that to mess the poll right ? Because you wanted store too!! :D.

Too late. Phew, i need to focus on training more, all the web stuff has taken so much time and still a few things to do here and there.

Forgot to mention if you face any issues with the forums, please let me know.

Nah I'm all for forums, don't see the point of having two when one will do fine.
