For those of you who have not gotten to the Squid Blog yet you might want to check out the latest post:

Coming soon: new lensmaster dash! exclamation mark!
http://blogs.squidoo.com/squidblog/?p=214

Well, I've seen Paradise and I'm loving it!

You guys are going to be totally blown away by the new dashboard. It's got all the bells and whistles you've been asking for and a few extra ones to boot!

For an obsessive compulsive organizer like myself I was tickled pink to see all the things I could do with the cool new tools.

So check out the blog and stay tuned for the fantastic new fangled dash...coming soon.

WhippetTalk · 05/27/2008 10:43 am

It sounds great. I am looking forward to it.

SusanVillasLewis · 05/27/2008 10:51 am

Hooray!! Looking forward to the "specialerific version". I was too slow on the draw to be one of the testers so I can't wait to see it.

adez7 · 05/27/2008 11:46 am

Yep, I was wondering why my Squidoo DE dashboard was so sloooooooow? But I can't wait for this new DB.

The_Book_Garden · 05/27/2008 12:00 pm

reading the blog/announcement it sounds just what a nusy lensmaster needs! Great to see the squid team responding to needs!!

Thanks HQ!

rms · 05/27/2008 1:02 pm

I saw it too and it is fantastic! I wanted to keep playing with it and I can't wait for it to become real!!!!!!!!!!!!

N376 · 05/27/2008 3:13 pm

When does it go live?

Christene · 05/27/2008 3:17 pm

i'm sad

i got the reply saying i would be a tester and that i would get login info the next day...but no login info showed up

:'(

oh well...i'll see it soon enough

MeganCasey · 05/27/2008 3:34 pm

Christene, I sent you the info over the weekend Would have loved to have you!

Christene · 05/27/2008 3:46 pm

thanks for trying

ya...no email in my inbox or junk folder
and i'm guessing you didn't recieve my email asking about it either...some freaky things going on in cyberland ha!

MeganCasey · 05/27/2008 3:56 pm

P.S. For those of you who haven't tested, here are some quick sneak peek screens of what you can expect. We're working like mad to fix some bugs, display styles and copy, but for the most part this is close to what you'll see if you have more than 10 lenses. Which, I assume, is everyone here!

Hey Megan, The dollar Columns that Squidoo DE provides and the breakdowns are real handy. I did not see any of them in any of the screen shots you provided. Is there anything in the works to provide that data for us?

Loyalis · 05/27/2008 5:11 pm

guys,

this thing is big.

Awesomeness factor of at least a bajillion.

my full notes are on Captain Squid if you want to take a look:

EverythingMouse · 05/27/2008 5:18 pm

I was sorry I missed out on the preview ( I actually dragged myself away from my computer for a full 12 hours for once)! I can't wait to use the new version.

bdkz · 05/27/2008 5:20 pm

Loyalis is right, this is BIG. I can't wait to start using the new dashboard. Here are two of my favorite things about the Daily Digest:

Going Strong Section � I think that it�s very exciting for us to be able see how good our best lens is doing. I like that everything is listed (Rank, stats, etc.)

Needs some love section � I always like to edit a lens here and there but with over 300 lenses it get overwhelming. I like the reminder of what needs some love.

Christene · 05/27/2008 5:34 pm

can a lens be in more than one category list?
and
are groups included in these nifty stats?

Loyalis · 05/27/2008 6:07 pm

yes, lenses can have multiple labels.

Groups are in there but I'm pretty sure their interface is staying the same for this initial launch.. don't quote me on that though as I'm not positive.

adez7 · 05/27/2008 6:23 pm

So I still ask do we get the past, last month, and this month sales as well as current Royalties figures?

Loyalis · 05/27/2008 6:48 pm

I haven't found anything that does that beyond the stats page thats currently in place adez..

by the way, I'll be in the chat room (see sig) for the next few hours if anyone has any questions. There's a pretty lively chat about the dash going on right now

samej · 05/28/2008 12:40 am

Looks impressive.
Especially like the new daily digest, showing which lenses are doing well and which need some attention.
Anyone know when this is expected to go live?

flowergardener · 05/28/2008 2:18 am

C-O-O-L
I was too late on the draw to be a tester too I wanted to play!

I see the coveted purple star is there! Woo-Hoo, we're going to find out how to get it?

Was sad to read the comment about 'Groups', but at least I know they're somewhere on the To-Do list of HQ's!

One question, how's it all going to fit on one page, if the photos are beside the lens, and you've got a lot of lenses?

rms · 05/28/2008 4:33 am

From what I hear, we'll have this very very soon!

adez7 · 05/28/2008 10:01 am

HOW SOON?? How about TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

triathlontraining · 05/28/2008 10:03 am

Haha! I love the title of the thread!

I agree, it is really something to look forward to. I feel for the hard work of the Squidoo DE plugin maker.

Maybe he'll come up with other enhancements, even beyond the official one coming out.

poddys · 05/28/2008 10:36 am

I just came back from lunch, did a refresh and thought WTF!
I absolutely hate it!
I loved being able to see the stats for my lenses nice and clearly, now each one takes 3 lines (lens, options, gap) so I can't just write down the stats so easily.
And I know which lenses I need to update - especially because I have 5 or 6 that are works in progress.
I guess I will get used to it...

If nothing else has to change, maybe the sidebar could go on the right and fnot the left?
