Funny, I obviously missed that.

Lots of people can, but there are very good reasons why it is where it 
is at the moment which is why it hasn't been moved.

The whole home page needs a redesign, and I don't really want to start 
fiddling with little things like this when we should be doing the job 
properly.

There are also issues with search at the moment which mean we don't 
actually want to make it too prominent.

Since the SOTM advert has been removed it should now be on the home page 
for most people anyway - the main problems come when there is extra 
stuff in the sidebar like the SOTM ad that pushes it below the bottom of 
people's windows.
