Concise description:

Create a Tools tab inside "The Game" tab





How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
thousands of users dont easily access some amazing tools avaliable. we should have an intuitive place to have those tools organized in a very simple way and properly linked to that forum.

This is something I wouldn't feel comfortable submitting on behalf of the tech team; I think a better approach is to post ideas in that forum for how to better organize it.

I would echo this sentiment here. It's something that may be better to contact the Tech Team directly about. It would probably help if you had specifics that you were concerned about and had suggestions on what to change and how to change it.

This forum is pretty much a mess. Tools are spreaded allover.
It need a cleaning and to be organized better

Tools more accessible to more users

could you be a little clearer with what you asking for?

You guys are right, that should have been adressed to tech team.So ive just edited the topic, because this is my real point.

Just happened that i was looking for a tool that i allready use and i really struggled to find it. I consider my self an experience forum user so i can just imagine that most users would never be able to to get there.
Yeah, i know you guys all are..me too...but we are a minority in CC.
My suggestion is thinking on the "other"people.People who have limited time. Who cant bother to through the zillions of posts about just everything.Its just very difficult to find things, and its understandable, a forum is not supposed to be an archive, or a website. But we can do somethig to improve that.And those tabs allready created are a very nice development in CC experience
So i believe it will definitly benefit every one.

I like the idea of making tools and scripts more accessible. But I think the problem is that tools and add-ons are neither developed nor supported by CC. They're created by users for users, and they often break when updates are made to the site. Maybe there should be some kind of stickied post in the Third-Party Tools & Enhancements forum that lists all add-ons known to work with CC? Just a thought! Surely we can find some kind of improvements. :)

I just wish they could be supported by CC. There are so many people that contributed so much to CC that i believe they should be "rewarded" with CC supporting them
