Although, if that's the case I'd hide the Sell button and make the Buy button bigger. Myself being a happy Fidelity customer it was annoying to spend time trying to get used to Vanguard's tricky UI. :D
I wanted to tell you that there are other ways to get there besides the pop-up menu under My Accounts on the main page.
My favorite way is Cost Basis, because I usually check something there before I make a trade anyway.

When you go there to look at the unrealized gains of your current holdings, notice the Buy | Sell links at the far right for each stock or ETF, and Buy | Sell | Exch links for mutual fund shares. If you click Buy, the ticker for whatever holding you clicked on will be filled in for you, but you can always write over it to buy something completely different. Very convenient.
