Description
The left-hand column is going to be the one that people notice and click on first. But it has the least information, at least at the moment -- it's always the same project ("Dvd4hope"). And clicking on it takes you back to the page you're on.
The best thing to do, I think, is to remove that first column from the table, at least until you have multiple projects going. And at that point, you may want to have a separate table for each project rather than mix them together.
But if you don't want to remove that first column, at least switch its place with the issue summary, which is currently the second column. That's the one that people will want to click on.

I've fixed the links that pointed to the tracker listing:
http://dvd4hope.tv/node/1/revisions/view/27/29
The difference is between the list of all issues from all projects:
http://dvd4hope.tv/project/issues
and the list of all issues from 1 project
http://dvd4hope.tv/project/issues/dvd4hope
But since we only have 1 project so far, it makes sense to link to the second item.
However, I may soon introduce a second project. It depends which technical implementation is used to put those who have DVDs and those canvassers who would need those DVDs.
The project_issue module (used here) does not yet allow to reformat the table (to move the columns around, as you suggest). When project_issue uses views, it would be possible, but it won't be soon.
We'll see how best to circumvent the problem you pointed at when/if we have more than 1 project.
This is fixed for now. Thanks for reporting.
