  Where to moderate comments in new dashboard? Luckily the last comment I got for this one was small enough for me to read off of the notifications panel, but that is too small to use for longer comments, which I may get.

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

  But once the classic dashboard goes away, how do we get to there? There should be a comments button on the new dashboard don’t you think? Or a way to get to there without switching to the old version.

  That’s what I wanted to know. One day the old is going to go away. That’s how these things always work. One day the classic goes away. So I always find it best to try to ask how the new way is supposed to work before I lose the old way to get to it. Just in case a comment comes in before I learn how.

  It seems like a bad decision to default to the new dashboard if they haven’t put all of the necessary functions of the blog onto the new dashboard. If going to the classic dashboard is the only way to access the manage comments area. Just creates a bad first impression of the new dashboard. And first impressions can be hard to overcome.

  It seems the classic dashboard will not be taken away right away. Therefore the link I provided will be the one you can use for moderating pending comments in the interim.

  Alright. So bad company decision then. Got it.

  Have to go to the classic to access site function. Which means I’ll just go to the classic dashboard every time and just work from inside the classic dashboard going against the purpose of defaulting to the new dashboard which is to get us used to it before the classic dashboard goes away.

  I much prefer the classic dashboard anyway.
