You know that panel on your dashboard, next to the forums? The one with the blog updates? Well, chances are you only ever saw posts looking like this: ## [Weekly Update 11/30 - 12/4](http://blog.wanikani.com/post/134558895147/weekly-update-1130-124) Now that’s not very useful, is it? And quite boring too, if you ask me. If you want to read the blog, just scroll down a bit more until you reach the footer. SOLVED. So let’s get rid of that panel. But now there’s a huge, honking void on your dashboard!!! O NOOOO… How about we replace it with something useful, eh? Maybe a panel with forum topics you posted in? That could be useful, mkay? I call it (informally): THE USER PANEL TELEPORTATION SCRIPT ( 'cuz you don’t have to click two times to get to the [user panel](https://www.wanikani.com/community/panel), get it?!) I teleported it to the dashboard! ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/wanikanicommunity/original/2X/3/329c53a5032f90ff51198dfd29f9ad8c7c6c232a.png) **Features (****v1.6)**  - See the last five of your active forum threads (threads where you made a post) that people replied to.  - See the last five of your created forum threads (threads you made) that people replied to. **Planned features**  - Browse all your active topics, not just the top 5 **How to BEAM ME UP, SCOTTY** - Make sure you have the Greasemonkey (Firefox) or Tampermonkey (other browsers) add-on installed, so you can enjoy userscripts. - Go to [https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/15028-wanikani-dashboard-active-topics-panel](https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/15028-wanikani-dashboard-active-topics-panel) - Click the green button - BOOM, DONE! **Change log:** **v1.6**  - Cosmetic changes that should prevent the 5th item from disappearing **v1.5**  - Changed to a two column layout again **v1.4**  - Fixed issues caused by a WK update for the huge search function/ review debacle (and apparently they removed recent blog posts for no reason) **v1.3**  - Enhanced styling for users who don’t have the Clean Dashboard style **v1.2**  - Browse your Created Topics! **Caution** : don’t switch tabs before the panel is fully loaded. Neglect this and you will get very cool but unwanted effects. **v1.1**  - Fix styling to match the forum panel **v1.0**  - initial release **Note** : this has been developed and tested in Firefox. Let me know if other browsers have difficulties. **LAST UPDATE CAUTION: don’t switch tabs before the panel is fully loaded. Neglect this and you will get very cool but unwanted effects.** ---

> embe said... Could it show the timestamp as in forum section?  It does show the timestamp as in the forum section, but you've got to wait for some time and sometimes it never changes. The truth is I haven't looked into which piece of code from WK itself changes these timestamps,  but apparently it does so automatically. I'll probably write something that does the exact same thing but without the ridiculous wait time. ---

I like this a lot!  I was wondering, though, could we get a version where it shows the top 5 that _aren__'t_ on the dashboard already in the recent community chat topics?  Like, if one of the ones it would show was in the recent community chat topics, it would switch it out for the next one down the list?  I don’t know how complicated this may or may not be to make happen, but I’ve had so many times where the new box shows exactly the same threads as the recent community chat topics box (because I’ve posted in all of them once or more) that I thought I’d ask…  ---

That said, I did just hit 800 posts, and I haven't been active for that long... '^\_^  Will never beat Crunder on that account, though.  In about the same amount of time he has posted more than twice as much.  Mayucchi's position as #1 chattygator is very quickly crumbling. ---
