So I've brought a couple friends from elsewhere to D12, and a near universal complaint is that the shop is difficult to find. Maybe add a link to it on the UI to the left of rank upgrades?

The shop can be find by clicking "Upgrades" in the navigation bar. I am afraid I can't make it much easier than that...

On a second thought, maybe we should create a better starting page for the shop, with a quick explanation about what the shop is, with links to the different parts of the shop. We can then just rename the "Upgrades" link in the navigation bar to "Shop", would that help?

Ah...I knew about that, just thought we were talking about a different "Shop".

One thing that has always perplexed me is that the ONLY place I have found to see my ranking is on my Upgrades page. I would have expected to see it either on my user page or my dashboard page.

I agree with that (the user page; never thought about putting it on the dashboard page).

There's two problems with it though:
- The user page is used for public information - your rating is a secret.
- The user page is quite full of information already - where to put it?

How about just adding it to the user name in the nav? e.g. "You are logged in as: dough_boy (####)" Keep the name as a link and make the (####) show a tooltip on over that it is their rating.
