• This is more of a problem for network sites, the updates notification isn’t visible unless you bring up your profile drop down or use the menu bar, in some cases it’s not possible to use the admin menu bar at the top. Having updates as a part of network (1) isn’t intuitive at all. Which is a shame as the new update process is far more robust and reliable with less failed attempts to get it to update.

    Can we address this to make what is, what I’d assume, a critical aspect of usability and security? Or if I’m missing something tell me?

    Overall I’m impressed with 3.2 but this is one of my pet hates about it just now. I manage a lot of sites, and don’t want to add more work that necessary, I prefer the concept of glance-ability .

    If you activate the Admin Menu bar, they all show up right away.

    That’s the problem, it conflicts with some of what I do with BuddyPress hence what I said. The old way it was clear and was easy to see. Now you have to either have to use the menu bar or click on your profile name.

    Don’t get me wrong I do use the menu bar, but it’s a pain when you’re doing dev work as it can interfere with the design layout.

    AH! You will be HAPPY to know that in BP 1.3 this conflict should be resolved 🙂 The Bars are getting married.

    (I use the Admin Bar on my BP site, with a couple tweaks, since I wanted people to get used to where the future was going).
