i will make the patches clickable.

thanks for the feedback.
"Theme" should never trump interface/useability, ESPECIALLY when it comes to getting surfers to the pages where they pay. We're not here to make things pretty and artistic, we're here to make money. I can't tell you how many times I've wondered why a site isn't converting and then when I look at the design, flow etc. and it becomes painfully clear. If experienced webmasters like us have an issue getting to a join/signup page, then there's a real problem. Designers make things pretty. The vast majority have no concept of sales, traffic flow, useability etc. "Above the fold" is the most important area of a website. There's no way someone should have to scroll down to see all the join buttons.

Just some food for thought for future designs.
