The link to the Dashboard is present you are looking at the dashboard.
The link to the Dashboard disappears when you click on a topic from the dashboard.
Am I missing something?
I don’t mind clicking twice, (Community then Dashboard), but if you kept the Dashboard link visible on all pages in the forum area it would be better.
Thanks.
click a link. Then navigate back. That’s what I do. But yes, sometimes what does and doesn’t appear seems somewhat disjointed.
While we’re talking about missing stuff though 
I often struggle to find the inbox when I need it. If you’re in the dashboard, there’s no link, you can’t go into your profile and find it, you can only go into the forum or a post to do so. I’d promote it to have it’s own link on the dashboard.
