I agree.

I also think there is an overuse of these "...more..." things all over 
the site.  I don't think this is a great UI technique, and involves too 
much clicking.  I'd rather just see either everything in one HTML file, 
or a bunch of hyperlinks linking to the individual things (news, FAQ) 
not this "...more..." thing.

I'd also really like to see a phpbb (http://www.phpbb.com) forums system 
instead of the current forums.  It could be customized to our current 
colour scheme.  It's probably fairly easy to install.  Features that I 
like are, ability to see headers only be default, and ability to receive 
emails when someone replies to a thread you are watching, and many more...
