Dashboard Navigation issue

[James_W]

I'm having a bit of trouble with my dashboard - I just can't get it to work for me:

1) Apparently there are another 7 Pages of threads on my dashboard - I can't see them whatever I do.

2) I can't sort the threads by name or number of new Posts - would be really useful.

Anyone got any ideas? - The dashboard shouldn't be limited to 10 threads.

(Using I.E.8)

Click manage subcription

and then click 

subcription and book mark

In the bottom select subscription threads

Now you can click next...next and go on viewing your threads.

That's helpful, it looks like you've shown me a backdoor hack.

I would very much prefer to be able to navigate in the dashboard popup window - Why is this denied to us/me?

The dashboard is so good at providing a useful info summary in a small window (when it's not incorrectly telling me there are 30 messages in a thread I have not read when I have read all of them).

I suppose that is the onlyway avialable now. I felt the sameway when i found this way.

Another place that you can see your subscriptions is at the very bottom of the main forums page (forums.ni.com).  If you are signed in, you see some subscriptions and then a link to manage them.

The dashboard does not provide that much functionality.  Do you use it for anything other than viewing your subscriptions? In a future version of this platform, the dashboard will go away but the subscriptions and bookmarks modules at the bottom of the page will be much more useful than they are now and I think you will prefer to use those.

Sounds good, I won't miss the dashboard. When does this new platform debut?

I too very rarely use the dashboard anyway.

I use the dashboard, but I only monitor a few boards not individual posts. I found very early on that putting to many bookmarks on the dashboard and it becames un-useable. Also you have to remember to refresh the dashboard if you have been answering posts because it doesn't refresh immediately a post has been cleared.

The current position of the subscription is pretty useless and it's only available on the top level (NI Discussion Forums) not in individual boards which is why I make use of the dashboard.

So lets hope the new system is more useable.
