GG Homepage Flash Banner Fail

I guess that you're tinkering with the site recently, but I thought I'd just point out a few issues I'd noticed. There are various issues with the Flash banner on the www.garagesgames.com homepage.
1. The first frame (T3D) has a link that directly downloads the T3D demo ... all 1.3 gigs of it ...
Visitor: "Hmmm, let's click this for more info on this Torque 3D game engine thing --- OHGODNOSTOP!"
2. The mouse over info for the first frame proclaims that "FPS Tutorial Coming Soon" rather than, "we've made it and it's been here a while now".
3. All other frames link to the Zombie Pack Combo, not just the frame about the Zombie Pack.

Lets also add the screenshots within the store either don't load or you get one on the bar and the rest are just white space.

Clear your cache on that one, Ron. That is most likely a problem with the JQuery version that was pushed on Friday.

Ah. This topic was about the front page. I missed it on the T3D page. I'll create a ticket to update that on the T3D page.
