This issue is relevant to clarity in the My Account tabs and settings that each member can access for their account, and also affects other interface elements.
I find the whole organization of the site very confusing. For example, when I go to the home page, how would I find this forum topic? How would I get to the SWNI Server Management Team "home page"? How do the items on the "Quick Links" menu relate to the general organization of the site?
