It appears the site has been updated because all the buttons are moved around and there are several new ones i.e. "Open Buddy List"

I always thought the home page was a bit too full of fluff. The Image gallery and recent activity is nice, but the page goes down forever. Are links to White-Papers, CD-Swap and the helpful links on the homepage necessary? These really lengthen the page.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great site, well designed. I just feel like the homepage could be be organized to utilize space a bit better and be more user friendly. I introduced a bunch more people to the site this year and it got me noticing these things...

I want someone with appropriate web coding skills to make a CD version of Let Me Google that for You.

I second this motion. I know where it is, but I still lose it whenever I want to search.

Just in case you didn't notice, the picture is actually a joke pointing out that the search button does in fact exist. I'm not actually commenting on the layout of the site, it is fine the way it is.

I really think the OP was trying to emphasize the importance of using the "search" capability before posting. Although putting the "search" button in a more prominent location would indeed be helpful.

For some of you, the front page is cluttered with advertisements and when you search, you have to verify you not a spam-bot. You can solve these problems by becoming a CD supporter. Click on "Supporters" on the "quick links" pull-down and donate to CD via PayPal!

It could instead ask you if you have conducted a search every time you start a new thread. I think this would be collectively less annoying that folsk asking someone if they have searched.

For those who think searching "SEARCH" button on CD is difficult, probably we should have a floating search screen that follows cursor!
