Hi Alex,

Yep i tried it too, it has that feature removed. No direct wire post from dashboard.

Waaa.  Is it coming back? 1.6.2 perhaps :-).  I have this as my default dashboard hoping it will make it convenient to use as a local twitter so folks would be encouraged to at least put their status if it is easy to get to.  I realize that the wire tool menu does this but is an extra step.  I'm always thinking about user convenience as I am a user myself!

We're deprecating that version of the wire in favor of the one on the demo site.  Pulling in the old riverdashboard and wire plugins should bring it back.  It was a mistake it was removed...

We're keen to get the new versions of the wire and the activity stream into SVN so we can get 1.7 ready to go, but needed to get 1.6.1 out the door first.  If it turns out using the old mods doesn't work correctly, looks like 1.6.2 will be on the way before 1.7 ;)

Hi Brett,

Demo site looking good ! So , yeah, better adapt than stay old and fall into dinosaour mode. I'm running the upgrade, hopefully creating new accounts will work now.

@brett I replaced just the 1.6.1 riverdashboard with the one from 1.6 and it seem to be working ok with the 1.6.1 thewire.

I also like the 1.7 demo site, especially the collapsible conversations.  1.6.1 is a good step towards it.  I'm sure many of us in the community will continue to install 1.6.1 and come up with comments/problems/suggestions.  Hopefully, 1.7 will stay on track.  Any rough ETA on 1.7?

As always, truly grateful for your work, especially this Labor Day.

In a "Don't quote me, I didn't say this, What do I know really" complete and total guess kind of way, 1.7 will drop sometime late October / November.

Great work on the new version, Brett - no issues so far on my upgrade.

Don't forget Dave, Pete, and Marcus!  They've done loads of work on this.  Indeed, loads more than me as I came in between 1.5 and 1.6.  I'm just the loud one ;)

The invisible, unsung heroes of course! THANK YOU! I know they are busy posting on the demo (1.7) site, I think they have forgotten us backwards (1.6.1) folks ;-)

I've upgraded http://lionsclubs.me to version 1.6.1 and so far so good, with the exception of using the 1.6 version of the riverdashboard for the ability to update wire status directly from the riverdashboard.

Nah...we're all working hard on the demo site and 1.7.  Now that 1.6.1 is out we'll start moving things over into public SVN so you'll see some of that popping up soon!
