I did not see anyone else asking this or having this issue. I used to log on my dashboard go under Tripawd blogs and could read all current and unread posts topics. They are no longer appearing on the dashboard ,just happened the last couple of days.
Did something change with the database cleanup? I just come to the sight directly now to read new and unread.
Thank you!

No, that hasn't happened yet.
To be honest, we're not exactly sure what you mean by:
...log on my dashboard go under Tripawd blogs
The only Blog updates we've ever displayed in the Dashboard are the Recent Posts that show the 3 most recent featured blog posts in the yellow box. That is still there as is the Tripawds Blogs Directory link at the top thak takes you to the listing of all recent blog posts
...and could read all current and unread posts topics
This, however, sounds like you're referring to recent Forums activity.
Perhaps you could clarify so we could look into this further. Thanks!

Did something change...
Apparently, yes.
We consulted with the plugin developers who said that the Admin Postbag was never supposed to display in the dashboards of users without Admin permissions. In fact, we never knew it did! Well, they "fixed" that in the latest update.
Sorry for inconvenience! It's good to know users are actually paying attention to their Dashboard notices. 
We hope the new Unread Posts flags will help users more easily identify recent forum activity. The most recent posts can also always be viewed on the Forums Homepage, and in the Hot Forum Topics section at Tripawds.com.

Yes they are very helpful the little red alerts and that is what I started to do since the other went away.
I just wanted to make sure it wasnt something I did and didnt know .

I find the red flags on the left hand side (new post notifications),to be helpful, but the ones on the right hand side that show how many new posts there are are quite difficult to decipher with the red background. The lighter color was better...at least on the iPad.

Murphy is a five year old Lab/Chessie cross. He was hit by a car on 10/29/12 and became a Tripawd on 11/24/12. On 2/5/13, he had a total hip replacement on his remaining back leg. He has absolutely no idea that he has only three legs!
UPDATE: Murphy lived his life to the fullest, right up until an aggressive bone lesion took him across the Rainbow Bridge on April 9, 2015 and he gained his membership in the April Angels. Run free, my love. You deserve it!

Right side? Red Background? Topic view, or on main Forums page?
There is no red background anywhere on this site. Could you please provide a screenshot or better describe exactly where or what view you're talking about? Perhaps we're missing something here...

Hope this works. I've been fighting iPad battles since the latest upgrade.
The red flags on the left hand side are good, but the numbers on red to the right (lower down) are really hard to read.

OOOOOMMMMDDDD!!! I'm LMAO only because....because ...I LOVE the new red alerts...left side AND right side!! I find them much easier to read! In fact, it seems a lot of things are easier to read. Oh, and the PM block is easier to use/read now too!
Poor Admin Guy.

Tripawds "upgrade" or the latest iOS update? If you have any specific issues you'd like us to address here, please feel free to start a new topic. As for the new post notices, it's hard to cover all bases when designing for devices of all sizes, and those need to not overwhelm smaller phone screens. And the small number isn't really as important as the indication of new posts.

Not the Tripawds upgrade! Just me, resisting the iPad upgrades, finally giving in and installing them, and then having things not work like they are supposed to. I need to find a teenager to help me back up/restore and try to start again. LOL!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
