Missng my Home comforts.

I am delighted to see a big demand in readers tonight. However I think it may be at the expense of the usual functions on the homepage, i.e recent comments, search function. Do I need an upgrade?
This seems to be occuring more frequently, is this wonderful site getting too popular for its own good?
It may be I have just been too spoiled for choice.
