Number of clicks

JayEss

A long time ago when I did a course In web design I was told that you need to make sure that key information is easy to find and that users should not have to click more than three links to get to where they want to be. 

Getting to the search page for CLs just took me four clicks not counting the sign in prompt which took me back to the start. 

Is there a way to speed the process up a bit and make it easier?
