The New Dashboard is HORRIBLE
-
-
I really, really don't like the look and feel of the new dashboard:
text size
color scheme
layoutIt hurts my eyes (no, seriously -- the old dashboard layout was soothing and well-organized, and I find the new color scheme much more difficult to read). Would it be possible to enable an 'opt out' feature for the new layout?
-
the new dash is terrible
-
pizzadiavola - You can switch the color scheme back to the classic by going to users > my profile and selecting "Classic" admin color scheme and then clicking "update profile."
-
the original was faster, the original didnt change my font sizes or the look of my blog post, the original didnt give me popup script errors.
this new dashboard is going to hurt my viewership if this isint fixed soon.
-
this is what happens when i try to do ANYTHING in dashboard:
-
Ok, people.. It takes a little while to get used to... I hated it when I first saw it too.. But now it's not as bad. I would still like to have the old one back though....
-
^it may work fine and dandy for you but i cannot edit ANYTHING and whenever i do i get those script pop-ups, and if i do edit my blog post it comepletely changes the font sizes of my blog! this is not good, it may work for you but it's giving me horrible issues.

>>>this is what happens when i try to do ANYTHING in dashboard:
That has the odor of a Javascript problem. Do you have the latest version of Java?
-
Bad, bad, bad. I want the old one back. What's that old saying, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ORIGINAL....
and no my javascript is fine, i have the new version and everything... this problem occured when i was working on this 'new' dashboard! i agree hoopscoach, if it aint broke.. leave it alone! thesacredpath, i run windows XP i dont want to mess with anything and i tried looking for the cookie/cache folder i cannot find it.

In Firefox, it's Tools->Clear Private Data.

I KNOW!!! I cam here just to start a similar thread. It is not sooting and it hurts my eyes too! I had just figured out how to do some things and not those buttons have moved. ex- my drafts no longer appear listed above where I write so I can choose one...instead there is a TEENY tiny button hidden on the bottom right hand corner that I have to click on and THEN choose on. no likey. ALSO, and this is a big one, I can't edit comments now in the COMMENTS section...I have to go to the comment on my blog to edit it. That wastes a LOT of time! Hey wordpress, can you add the edit button back please?
I think the new layout is harder to navigate and not as intuitive. -
Please Change IT Back.

I thought something was messed up on my computer that made the dashboard change. So, is this the new image for it? I believe some of the options are gone (like presentation) and it looks shifted and I keep thinking I'm missing half the page (I keep looking for a scroll at the bottom to try and see the rest of it)
-
dustry - presentation is still there but now it's called Design. Click on it and you'll be on familiar territory.

thesacredpath:
okay, i did what you said i went into tools > clear private data, i restarted my computer and i tested it out, im still getting the same problem when trying to edit a blog post, this is getting really upsetting as i like to get fresh news out there for my viewers and i cant now because of this.
-
This dashboard is AWEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder if they had anyone test this or use it before DUMPING this mess on us!!!!
-
I agree!! It is HORRIBLE!!! I have a hard enough time seeing anyway, and you just made it ten times worse..
-
Please change it back. Why can't you offer us a CHOICE between the old and new?
-
Why did it change? Why didn't they warn us? I thought I had been hit by some horrid virus and now find out - it was done on purpose. I hate it. I can't find my blogroll - it isnt intuitive... ugh!
-
I like it.. I find it's a lot better organized. Links are links, and there isn't a random Blogroll tab out of nowhere. I can see everything I want about my blog right away, and on switching the colours back to classic, it seems perfectly appealing to me. Give it a chance before you bash it, take at least a few days to try it out.
-
HORRIBLE. Agree. MESS. Not half so 'user friendly' - and half the stuff doesn't work, inserts don't work, type categories don't work, widgets on templates incomprehensible. MESS. PLEASE 'go back' before you lose the special 'thing' that you really do have ... Best, C

@infolution
I don't know what to tell you then since I can open my published posts and edit the with no problem.
It looks like you are on FF, what version are you on?
Support is open the whole weekend, you can contact them and perhaps they can help.
Include lots of detail such as operating system, browser and version, and describe exactly the steps you are going through to try and edit and save a post.
-
i did really like the old one much better.
-
should provide a choice between new and old version. personally, i prefer the old one
-
Actually, I like the new one better. I'm more used to the old interface, but the new one better displays information and simplifies things.
-
Right now I'm just not familiar with how everything is laid out, but I'm sure I'll get use to it. I am new to WordPress and was just getting use to the old dashboard, but I did find things about it to be confusing or redundant. Maybe this new dashboard will be better after I figure out where everything is.
