Request: Put "My Pathfinder Society" to the quick links on the side of the page

[eddv]

Apologies if there was a better place to put this.

I realize that it's already there as "Register a character" which is useful for new players, but for established players that only rarely check the site, it's the main page they are going to want to look at for say checking their reported scenarios and it's not instantly clear how to get there from either the main society page or the quick links toolbar since its present at both as a character creation button.

It's come up with a number of players of mine at least once trying to navigate the site.

I for one would love it if the Campaign Clarifications and Additional Resources links would be much more obvious, like one of the blue boxes on the main PFS page rather than the tiny text links further down the page.

Look at the gray bar at the top of the Pathfinder Society page. There are links to Campaign Clarifications, Additional Resources, and My Pathfinder Society.

[Nefreet]

I just have it bookmarked in a "Pathfinder Links" folder.

I agree, it's not straightforward to navigate to "scenarios that have been reported". But to be fair, I don't ever use any of the quick links under the left. Just the banner icons when I want to switch forums. (and incidentally when I want to click additional resources/campaign clarifications/scenarios that have been reported I click on the PFS banner to find what I'm looking for--though at this point I can just type 'add' in my address bar and it finds the url I want for the additional resources).

I've been here long enough that I mostly know my way around, but when I want to explain to someone else it's never straight forward.

Did this link get moved with the update? I no longer see it in the top menu when I'm on the PFS homepage. Actually, I think several links are missing from that menu that used to be there, though I couldn't tell you what they were.

It's still possible to access My Pathfinder Society by using the Create a Character link.

[Hmm]

They seriously rearranged the website. Hopefully we get that link back soon, because I miss having it somewhere easy to access.

Hmm

The top menu is now acting like it should have been since implementation of the "new" format of the page. We're not sure about adding even more links to our sidebar, but we will be taking a hard look at those links because we have a whole new game to plug there. I'd expect to see some more shuffling and refining of the Organized Play section of the site as we get closer to Gen Con. If there are suggestions folks have, we're happy to hear them!

But how are we supposed to get to "my pathfinder society" section now without the link at the top?

[claudekennilol]

But seriously, how do I get to it now?

[Markov Spiked Chain]

@claudekennilol, I got there by clicking the blue "Create a Character" button which takes you to the normal My PFS menus.

I strongly urge the site team to return the "my Pathfinder Society" link to the grey bar at the top of the Society page. Getting there by clicking "Create a Character" or some other workaround is counterintuitive and...well, rather sloppy, sorry to say. If there is a more obvious way, please let me know.

Two ways:

1) Click the "create a character" or "create an event" link on the PFS landing page. Both take you to My Pathfinder Society.

2) Go to the "My Account" page and hit the "Edit" button in the Pathfinder Society section.

[Hmm]

Go to "My Account". Within My Account, click on "Pathfinder Society." That will get you to "My Pathfinder Society."

EDIT: Ninja'd by Slothsy, with a much more complete answer!

Hmm

[mellowgoth]

Thanks, all.

[claudekennilol]

Why do I have to "create a character" to get to see my current characters?

[Hmm]

Chris, my biggest suggestion is getting links to 'My Pathfinder Society' (you could rename it 'My Organized Play') and to Additional Resources. Having those two links be easy to find would be very helpful, both for helping new players get started and for getting new GMs up to speed.

Hugs,

According to my local Venture Captain, the missing link is tied to a planned update to include a n Organized play link of some sort, which will likely include Starfinder Society.

In the meantime, my simple fix was, once I managed to access it from another route (which have been already discussed here and elsewhere) I simply drag & dropped the webpage link (up top) to my desktop and created a shortcut that goes directly to the My society page. It could probably be bookmarked as well, but mine are full.

It's an option until things are back to "normal" on the site. (I just wish they could fix the lag problems. this site is pretty slow at time, especially in the downloads section, but this is a topic for another thread)

Just wanted to bump and +1 this - I've been quite lost a couple times trying to find the "My Pathfinder Society" link. Both Create a character and Create an event work, but as above, are counterintuitive. Going through My Account should certainly be an option, but shouldn't be the only sensible way.
