Dashboard commands changed and unfriendly
-
The dashboard commands for Page/Copy, and Page/All are giving a very different display from that in the past. I can no longer get Copy to work, and All displays the information for the various Pages in a very strange format.
Has something been changed in the last month or two?
Help, I liked it as it was!

Thank you for your very prompt and comprehensive response.
I switched to Google Chrome from my usual Firefox and the display was AOK. This morning after reboot of system both Firefox and Chrome gave proper display! So a temporary problem with Firefox.
One glitch remains: Page/Copy consistently returns Page/New. Please check your end for defective Link.
Thank you, Don in Canada

Hi all, sorry if i’m interrupting this topic but i think it is better to ask here and to don’t open new.
Are you changed something to pictures edit options? I don’t have resize options anymore. Only have manually resizing, not how much procents i want to resize. Second problem is that More read tag is always go on the end of post.

I think I have solved both problems.
The suggestion to try another browser worked. The pages were displayed correctly by Chrome. In fact next day when the computer was rebooted they were displayed correctly by Firefox, suggesting a temporary problem with that program. The problem has not returned.
The issue I raised with ” Page/Copy consistently returns Page/New” has an explanation. It now appears that the user is expected to first open the page to be copied before hitting Page/New. This is a change from the way Page/New worked when I used it in November 2013.
Then and on previous uses Page/New opened an empty New Page, with above it access including search to All Pages. Clicking on the required page caused it to be copied into the New Page below.The new scheme works well, but it would have been nice to have a word of warning. But perhaps this was buried in the Help section and I missed it.
Thank you for your prompt and helpful responses. Please keep up the good work.
