This new dashboard is a giant step back in terms of usability. In particular, I now have to click twice to log out.

What about people who deactivated Javascript? How do these people log out? Please think about returning an easy to click "Logout" link.

Cheers

Each time I access one blog from the Subscriptions tab, I have to close out of the browser to see anything again. Only works the once.

I don't have a different browser (I might be the only one who doesn't).

Hmmmmmmmmmmm - will try again and report back. It was like this before the update of the Dashboard - so the update is not the cause! I was rather hoping it would have fixed it though.

Have you logged out, cleared your cache and cookies, closed your browser and then logged in again? Did you maybe try in a different browser? Is your flash player updated?

When is this likely to be fixed?

Please do not tell me it is only IE9 - I do not like Firefox at all! :)

In particular, I now have to click twice to log out. What a PITA!!!! One of the cardinal rules of usability is not to make your users have to click any more times than is absolutely necessary to accomplish a task. Please fix that soon!

It appears the font has also changed. It is now smaller and harder to read. You had a well-designed and user-friendly dashboard. Why did you take this giant step backward? Have we WordPressers done something for which we must be collectively punished?

Consider why this phrase became a cliche: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! You had a great dashboard. Please bring it back!

Can't see Freshly Pressed, Tags, Subscriptions etc.

When I FIRST accessed the page, it was OK. Clicked on the Subscritions tab and that was OK - Clicked back to Feshly Pressed - and from that moment on, all display ceased.

IE 9, Windows 7

The Subscriptions hasn't worked for me since I joined - I've always had to go to the tabs on the main WordPress page. Although I do wish My Subscriptions would just go straight there instead of the intermediate click required.

IE 9 is better browser by far, with better security and support for standard web coding practices.

There's no deadline to upgrade, but it's recommended.

I use IE 9 from time to time when I need to pull my PC out for debugging, but I prefer to use Safari 5 and Firefox 4 on my Mac.

Any chance this is a problem only for Mac users? Nobody has indicated which OS they use in in the above complaints.

Just want to mention Mac, that my dashboard is working just fine but none of my main tabs on the main wp.COM page are doing anything for me. I'm patient though, I'll check back in the morning & I can't wait to try that new full page posting feature! YAY!

Changes like this are actually part of the core WordPress software and go through extensive testing between both us and eager self-hosted WordPress users before being rolled out here.

These days, you just can't account for every possible scenario until 18 million users get their hands on it.
