It's hard (and wrong) to redesign something without at least analytical data considering your users and your objectives.
I thought it might be fun so I give it a try, but please mind that I made many assumptions on what your site should do and where's the problem right now.
What I did is:
1) I separated high level pieces of content (questions, tags, badges, users, FAQ) from low level elements responsible for specific content-manipulation (sorting and filtering questions); there's one exclusion - 'Ask Question" button should be visible from every site of the service as a main functionality
2) I combined "search" and tags as two ways of quick browsing of content for people who are looking for specific topic
You can have a look on the project here. If you wish to edit it let me know.
I think 2 The two Menus should be Merged.
1) Add Hot
, Week
, and Month
to the Questions Menu
2) Remove the Redundant Unanswered
3) By Default go to the Questions-> Active
option clearly showing it selected.
