Ver 6.3, you have to be kidding?

  • What exactly does this improve in terms of security? The interface requires ever more scrolling, and now I can’t find my basic list of “Blocked IPs” that told me what vulnerabilities the bots were attacking. All the alarming statistics on the dashboard are useless. Like, ok, France is at the top of the list. Umm, and? This is so typical of GUI redesigns, it looks like a bunch of high schoolers got unleashed on it. Common, give me a compact screen I can scan with my eyes, not a bunch of useless white space that’s there because some rule of graphic design said it should be… MTN

    Found the “Blocked IPs” list, under “Firewall.” I click on it and I just get the endless spinning wheel software nightmare. Come on you guys, you can do better than this. Work on function, let form follow. We need functional security plugins, not pretty pages that don’t work. MTN

    Same problem. Get an endless spinning wheel… And the new design… the taps are not working and the view is “broken”…

    Hi,

    Personally i like the dashboard update, it provides a preview of some interest data (notificactions, ip′s blocked, number of atacks blockeds and login attems).

    Its could be nice if we can reorganize those widgets as we want, maybe in the nexts updates…

    About problems with the iupdate, maybe its an issue with your installation or any of your other plugins, i updated it on 7 sites and its working fine.

    Cheers,

    Appreciate the points. In my case, having a “dashboard” forced on me is not interesting, it’s just another layer.

    This morning, I clicked on WF Options and now the page layout is all jumbled up, with the dialog boxes for things like “Immediately block IPs that access these URLs” being excessively narrow.

    I still get the spinning wheel when I click on “Blocked IPs” in the Firewall, but if I click on that option twice it does work. Keep the user guessing, that’s a good interface strategy, probably designed to keep our hacker defending minds used to adapting, grow new neurons, stuff like that.

    At this point, what WF in my opinion needs is some different skins, and more user options to arrange things according to our own workflows.
