As a member, when you log in, or whenever you visit the homepage after you are logged in, you should now see something quite new!
The aim of this is to:
- Allow you to easily access all of the stuff you get as a member
- Manage your account, profile (you also now have a profile!) and all other DEV stuff
- Review your recent downloads, affiliate earnings and forum activity
- Easily access latest news and jobs
And a bunch more.
It is, however, very much a first draft... and one that we'd love your feedback on how it could be improved.
We're aiming to add some other goodies to it soon too, including, *gasp*, a tracking system for the projects we're working on, where they are at, and the odd vague ETA :)
So there ya go, let us know how we can improve it, and we hope you like it!

Thanks guys, your feedback, as ever, rocks out!
Look for a bunch of improvements over the next couple of days... I agree that there are a bunch of ways we can integrate this better with the forums and offer all sorts of useful features... those'll take a bit longer, but be worth the wait.
Keep up the good stuff, the more you let us know, the better we can be for ya!
Please consider releasing this as a plugin or theme - would love to implement something similar for my users! Maybe just a tutorial on how to create a similar dashboard?
Hello
This new dev dashboard is great and seems perfect.
I would like have the same. So, like many, please consider releasing this as a plugin or theme!

@ThePath good point, I'm thinking that could be another box - only for full members - which could include your badges (with names, like achievements), points totals, who they have been given to you by (and why) and anything else useful... thanks for the feedback!
I love the clean and simple approach. When I come here, I don't have to think to know what to do... the sign of a well designed site according to one of my favorite books regarding web design titled, "Don't Make Me Think".
Looks great, but I miss being able to easily find all my old threads. I can't seem to find the link to the complete listing of threads I've started (and received help in). This served as a good archive of how-to-things that I refered back to often

WOuld love to have a search bar for the plugins and themes search. Maybe an option one where you can search either the plugins and themes, or support...
Fantastic and I love the new format. Just re-joined and I haven't yet checked out all the downloads but last time I was browsing the downloads to select what I needed, the setup was annoying. I chose a plugin or whatever then the screen dropped down and I had to use my mouse to adjust up again. Then once i selected a plugin to look at, I couldn't resume my search. I had to start at the beginning again and step page by page to where I left off.
Thanks for discount.. I could not have rejoined without it.

Nice job. It's clean. I'm new, so I'm not sure if it's functional enough or if it makes support happen well. But it looks well thought out. I'm assuming you're using many of your plugins to make it happen. If so, I'm going to be overjoyed.
I love the new dashboard! +1 For turning this functionality into a plugin. Only idea that I have at this point is to allow us to reorder the boxes or toggle visibility as there are some items that I would like to see right at the top as I will use it more often while other items (such as my API info) won't be used all that often.
Personally, it works pretty well for me. I really like how the tabs are big and easy to find. Everything is laid out pretty well and the menus are intuitive.
Hi;
It is great to be able to see what I need all on one page.
Five stars plus!
A small but useful improvement: On the forum activity block it would be nice to see which activities are resolved and which aren't, and the number of replies. A different color could be used for different statuses and the number of replies could be shown before the topic. Plus the timestamp of last reply would be nice as well.
Cheers !

Looks beautiful to me. I love how easy it is to post to the Forum now. I would like, though, easier searching functions. I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do when I want to search for a theme or plugin and have to hunt around. Would it be possible to have a uniform search box on each page?
I know exactly what xconfactor means, it seems that websites get to be just right, then they start messing about and become a mess. Two perfect examples would be Myspace & Facebook.
dont' see the point - i visit the site and am immediately thrown into a backend page instead of where I was trying to visit - either the forums or plugin download links.
i find it rather pointless and obtrusive - is there a way to disable this redirect?
If i type in wpmudev.org to go and browse the latest and greatest stuff from the site - ie the proper front page of the site - i get forwarded over instead to 'premium.wpmudev.org' - which is this dashboard thing.
If I want to go to the control panel thing I can click my user name and/or whatever other links - but if I want to see what the latest news & stuff on the front page is - I have to go to the site, log out and then go BACK to the front page of the site in order to see it.
Kinda redundant.
Just my personal opinion of course, but then again I don't particularly like dashboard thingies in general on most sites. Back-end profile / stats stuff is for the back-end, not where I want to go when I first visit a site.
I agree, having to sign out to see the front page is kind of awkward to say the least. But I think it works that way here because signed in members are redirected to the subdomain premium.wpmudev.org. I'm assuming the dashboard plugin will not redirect to a subdomain. At least I sure hope not. Sign-ins should never be forcefully redirected, or prevented from seeing the hope page of a site.
I think it's a great starting point... clean - easy to navigate. Hopefully we can come up with some useful ideas. For now I can't really see anything lacking! Perhaps once I've gotten more into using it.

@gekido
maybe we should add latest release themes/plugin and latest updated themes/plugin boxes to the private profile also...it will be a plus so user know whats the latest stuff on wpmudev.
I'm relatively new but I like the dashboard and forum.
New Feature Suggestion (unless I'm just missing it)...
One thing I'd like to see is an option to read unread threads (since the last time I logged in).
I've seen the feature on other forums and I like it because it makes it easier for me to scan for new content.
Thanks for WPMUDEV. It seems like it's going to allow a great breakthrough for me on a project I've been dreaming about for some time.
As a new member I like the new version better than the old/forum one I stumbled upon. The new design helps me find all the important stuff. There seems to be TONS of stuff available so I'm glad this new design was already here to help me get started. I also am still confused about why there is a WPMU.org and a premium wpmu when lots and lots of the content is the same. It makes it a little confusing as to where to find the most up to date info.
Could you please add the Live Support history too? At least a digest or some mention of where I was when I asked a certain question or gave a certain answer.
One of the problems that I've had in the old dashboard was making a payment to extend my wpmudev membership service utilizing your coupon offers.
For the last two years I've wanted to use the Christmas Coupon, but the system would not allow me to buy another years worth.
Maybe you can add a renewal area with payment buttons, and possibly add some great discount coupons so folks can add another year without paying full price?
Also, maybe add a link to the billing help desk. I tried real hard to give you my money, but I gave up after a couple of days.
I would like the ability to find other WPMU DEV members near my location, in a related niche, and/or search by email if I know them but don't know their WPMU DEV info.
Also, once found on WPMU DEV, "friend" and "follow" people.

There seems to be a bug in profile embedding.
When I embed my profile, it shows my real name instead of my nickname on the website it's embedded in - even though I've selected to have only my nickname show.
It (correctly) shows only the nickname on the actual WPMUDEV profile page though.
Also, shouldn't there be a 'View Profile' link (or something similar), to make it more obvious how to access it? I know the name a basic info are links, but it isn't at all clear when embedded. I believe most people would look at it, think those links are simple text, and move on.
I'm glad you like the idea. And I liked your SmashingMagazine link just by itself, not even because it's related to this idea. Overall just a great resource.
If you need help hashing out ideas, whenever you get around to figuring out if/how you want to implement the idea, let me know.

How about clickable, embeddable - gamer type badges that auto-attach affiliate id's to them?
You could add the user profile pic, WPMUDEV badges, etc.
It would encourage people to use them in forums, where possible, while also promoting sales. You could also use the WPMUDEV colors for the badge background.

It's good to be able to see everything so easily.
It would be good to have the Api info available on there too.
EDIT:
It's easy enough to see the api by clicking to view account, so not a problem.

If I want to go to the control panel thing I can click my user name and/or whatever other links - but if I want to see what the latest news & stuff on the front page is - I have to go to the site, log out and then go BACK to the front page of the site in order to see it.
Kinda redundant.
Just my personal opinion of course, but then again I don't particularly like dashboard thingies in general on most sites. Back-end profile / stats stuff is for the back-end, not where I want to go when I first visit a site.

I agree, having to sign out to see the front page is kind of awkward to say the least. But I think it works that way here because signed in members are redirected to the subdomain premium.wpmudev.org. I'm assuming the dashboard plugin will not redirect to a subdomain. At least I sure hope not. Sign-ins should never be forcefully redirected, or prevented from seeing the hope page of a site.

Works great for me! It's informative and clean. :)

Good, but also love to have a search button on it.

Love it!

I think it's a great starting point... clean - easy to navigate. Hopefully we can come up with some useful ideas. For now I can't really see anything lacking! Perhaps once I've gotten more into using it.
Cheers!

@gekido
maybe we should add latest release themes/plugin and latest updated themes/plugin boxes to the private profile also...it will be a plus so user know whats the latest stuff on wpmudev.

I'm relatively new but I like the dashboard and forum.
New Feature Suggestion (unless I'm just missing it)...
One thing I'd like to see is an option to read unread threads (since the last time I logged in).
I've seen the feature on other forums and I like it because it makes it easier for me to scan for new content.
Thanks for WPMUDEV. It seems like it's going to allow a great breakthrough for me on a project I've been dreaming about for some time.

As a new member I like the new version better than the old/forum one I stumbled upon. The new design helps me find all the important stuff. There seems to be TONS of stuff available so I'm glad this new design was already here to help me get started. I also am still confused about why there is a WPMU.org and a premium wpmu when lots and lots of the content is the same. It makes it a little confusing as to where to find the most up to date info.

Could you please add the Live Support history too? At least a digest or some mention of where I was when I asked a certain question or gave a certain answer.
Thank you.

I like the new look and functionality. Bird's eye view of your membership, posts etc.
Very clean and a great flow.
Great Job !
Thank you

Wow, the new profile dashboard looks great!
One of the problems that I've had in the old dashboard was making a payment to extend my wpmudev membership service utilizing your coupon offers.
For the last two years I've wanted to use the Christmas Coupon, but the system would not allow me to buy another years worth.
Maybe you can add a renewal area with payment buttons, and possibly add some great discount coupons so folks can add another year without paying full price?
Also, maybe add a link to the billing help desk. I tried real hard to give you my money, but I gave up after a couple of days.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Michael

Re: http://premium.wpmudev.org/forums/topic/how-can-i-find-wpmu-dev-friends
It was suggested that I post this as part of the Dashboard Feedback, so here it is.
I would like the ability to find other WPMU DEV members near my location, in a related niche, and/or search by email if I know them but don't know their WPMU DEV info.
Also, once found on WPMU DEV, "friend" and "follow" people.

Now that's a really interesting idea!
I bit like http://directory.smashingmagazine.com/ I guess.
They pick up a location and display it automatically.
This could also be a nice replacement / improvement for wpmu jobs. Cool!

There seems to be a bug in profile embedding.
When I embed my profile, it shows my real name instead of my nickname on the website it's embedded in - even though I've selected to have only my nickname show.
It (correctly) shows only the nickname on the actual WPMUDEV profile page though.
Also, shouldn't there be a 'View Profile' link (or something similar), to make it more obvious how to access it? I know the name a basic info are links, but it isn't at all clear when embedded. I believe most people would look at it, think those links are simple text, and move on.
My two cents. =D
I really love the new dashboard. Much nicer now.
Thanks,

Thanks Corey, we'll take a look at it...

the new WPMUDEV dashboard is awesome. i totally love it.
Hope you could create a plugin/theme that we all could use on our sites with an options-settings page to customize the feeds, texts and images on it

New dashboard - A+++
Much better navigation.
Member — 5th February 2012 (3 months ago) #
The clean style is what I like most on every incsub-release...
So, Thumbs UP! And A+++++++++++ for it... :-D

@James
I'm glad you like the idea. And I liked your SmashingMagazine link just by itself, not even because it's related to this idea. Overall just a great resource.
If you need help hashing out ideas, whenever you get around to figuring out if/how you want to implement the idea, let me know.
ciao for now

This is a nice clean dashboard - much easier to navigate! I like it!

How about clickable, embeddable - gamer type badges that auto-attach affiliate id's to them?
You could add the user profile pic, WPMUDEV badges, etc.
It would encourage people to use them in forums, where possible, while also promoting sales. You could also use the WPMUDEV colors for the badge background.
Just a thought. =)

I like the idea of badges that link back, especially if they have our affiliate code automatically within them.
