No way to quickly add friends in new design
-
The notification drop down menu used to let you add followers when you check your notifications. That option was not included in the new design. Now I have to go to their sites and hunt for the “add” button.
This is just one of the many gripes I have with the dashboard and site layout. I Personally, I feel that the move toward a new “simple and clean” design has dropped some of the convenient features of WordPress. In the quest for simplicity, more advanced options have been completely dropped and the user loses out while trying to hunt for features that have been hidden to get them off the dashboard or taken out altogether. There is a roundabout way to continue using parts of the old dashboard, but it’s equally convoluted to access the old dashboard and who knows how long it will remain available.
Please allow users who want more advanced options but who don’t know HTML a way to access the old dashboard.
Thanks.

@Timethief I was using my smartphone and it made it very difficult to find threads. I did not see the thread that was posted before.

Aha! Now I understand the duplication. You can click the member link under your username to find all threads you have posted into. That’s the same page you get to when clicking the Welcome alannalp link found on the top right hand corner of every forum page.
