Or, perhaps not, but the behavior is odd...
Is there a particular reason that once you click on the "STORE" link in the main navigation bar you are no longer able to jump to any of the other "main" sections (PATHFINDER, GAMEMASTERY, etc.) without first exiting the store by clicking the the "PAIZO" link in the same navigation bar?
Perhaps I'm not explaining this well, but--as an experiment--try this:
- 1) go to Paizo's splash page and click on any of the "main" section links except the "STORE" link (i.e. PATHFINDER, GAMEMASTERY, etc.). Notice how the graphics and navigation bar color at the top of the page change to show that you are in a different section of the site?
- 2) now, click on "STORE" link. The color changes to purple to show that you are in the store... That's great.
- 3) however, when you click on any of the "main" section links now that you are in the store, you stay in the store rather than going to the "main" section's page as before...
The question: is this on purpose? And if so, why in the world would it be?

The graphics shown depend on your path, yes. Back in the magazine days, there was probably a good reason for that, but what it might have been frankly escapes me. There's actually quite a bit about that sort of navigation I'd like to fix, but since the issue is minor and the solution is a bit complex, it never makes it anywhere near the top of our to-do list.

Sounds like you need another IT guy to help Gary out!

Yep, minor... Got fixated on it and it began to bug me... I'm over it now... Glad it's on a list somewhere, even if nowhere near the top.
All-in-all Vic, great work on this behemoth of a site... For all of its complexity, it runs pretty smoothly.

Yes! Yes, we do! Thanks for asking!
