Where did the grading and coin value pages go?

Maybe it's just my computer but there use to be links to grading and coin values in the upper right hand area of the screen. They aren't there anymore and just wondering if they have been eliminated?

The software is often used to do an overlay to confirm a mintmark position for a variety.

Here is a LINK http://www.maddieclashes.com/one-cent-overlays/ to coin overlays at MaddieClashes.com.
In the case of die anomalies showing up on a coin, it can be used to confirm a die clash.
