Great Mystery
I have a simple, serious question. It is a great mystery that seems to not have an answer: Why do web sites not tell you how to access the functionality provided?
The title of the page is "PHP Forums". Ok, good. I want to post a question and get an answer. So how do I do that? It doesn't tell you. The FAQ just says what to do when you're already there. I poked around (almost gave up altogether) and found that if you click on SEARCH there is a link PHP Forums Forum Index, that doesn't even look like a link. I just happened to see that it was.
If you're going to provide all of this nice software and somputing time and space, why not have a link on the 1st page that says "Click here to go to forums"?
Why?

I think you've got a point. Regular visitors have their own internal map of what's what but newcomers don't. Since the forum is the meat and veg of phpdn, it possibly should have a "weight" in the layout (position. size, colour etc) which reflects that.
It's not that the link can't be found, but it makes you work for a it a little bit.
