WotC themselves have said as much - the magazine staff has mentioned an overhaul of the archive system being high on their list, but also hard to tackle since many of the current problems are tied into the existing architecture of the website, itself still a holdover from years and years ago. Which means in order to improve one area, they would need a complete rebuild of the entire website. I believe they've mentioned that they hope to look at doing so in 2012 - but nothing is guaranteed. It remains something I am hopeful for, though, since it is quite desperately needed. It might be easy to dismiss "two clicks instead of one" as a minor issue, but it is actually a pretty big deal in website design. You get a pretty substantial drop in interest between something you can reach in a single click, and something that requires drilling down through multiple levels.  And, in this case, it can take quite a bit to get where you need to go. From the main page of the D&D website, it will take at least 4 clicks to get to an article or issue, and that is knowing exactly what you need to do and what article/issue you are looking for.  It does get the job done, and organizing data like this can be a tricky thing. But it is certainly something I would be glad to see, and I don't think there is any real fault in that.</blockquote>
