I've answered some questions on this web site and also put in a couple.

My comments:

On the home page the bold words "Can you help" are good.  What is missing is 
"Ask your question"

I would remove the shaded tabs (which don't work as I would expect) and 
replace them with plain text links.

Best regards, Eric.
