Comment:

 We've taken a pretty deep look at stats for the new theme directory. By
 all accounts, the only stat that is lower than the old directory is page
 views for the commercial themes page. Every other metric is either up or
 even to where it was previously.

 Moving the location of the link can only do so much, as evidenced by the
 stats we've gathered and the various changes we've made (three, so far).

 It's entirely likely that the image-heavy (instead of text-heavy) design
 is causing people to use the directory and not click on sublinks as
 frequently as they did with the previous design. We're satisfied with this
 result.

 Closing this ticket as fixed, based on the three changes we made
 (ultimately settling on the subnav option as most effective).
