  WordPress has changed the Dashboard and made the look at other blogs a tabs thing – so if I now want to see the latest blog postings I need to click “Latest” – OK so far – BUT when I refresh the screen the view goes back to News and I now need to click on Latest again to see the new posts – A great leap backwards in ergonomics (I would call it stupid actually) – I like to see the latest posts.

  Please make the tabs remember what they were when the screen is refreshed – and add more posts to the list.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  @auxclass
  I have searche my dashboard and concluded that it has not changed. Either that or you are describing something I cannot find on mine. :(

  I’m confused. Would you care to expand on this so I know where to find these:
  “look at other blogs tab”
  “Latest”

  Just to be sure, are you referring to the “What’s Hot” box in the Global Dashboard?

  Ah, looks like the “What’s Hot” module in the Dashboard got a makeover. Rather than being one long list, it’s tabbed with:

  • WordPress.com News
  • Top Blogs
  • Top Posts
  • Latest

  It would be nice if that new module would remember that last thing we were viewing and keep that as the default till we changed it.

  The definitely sounds like an idea worth perusing. I’ll pass it along.

  Yes the What’s Hot thing – make the settings sticky – I use that section all the time.

  those tabs are cool. They have reduced the page size of dashboard. But there should be an option that we can select the tab which we want primarily.. As a suggestion, I think <b>freshly pressed</b> should also be included there.
