Please bring back uninvoiced hourlies and unread messages link
While the new dashboard has some great features, it has made it virtually impossible to see what hourlies and jobs are open and need be worked on. The uninvoiced hourlies link has disappeared so all jobs and orders are jumbled with other messages. The workstreams link at the top is useless because as freelancers, we can't mark workstreams as complete. Only the client can do this and it is ever rarely done. That means thousands of work streams pop up including jobs finished months ago.
PLEASE bring back the uninvoiced hourlies link so we can actually see what orders are open and need to be worked on. Having no way to see them at a glance makes it impossible to manage delivery and see which orders need to be followed up when waiting on responses from clients. This is pretty poor for a platform which is all about delivering work!
We need to be able to see open orders in one screen as that is what we have to work on.
Likewise, the unread message link should make a return.
These were the two key features which allowed freelancers to organise their clients, time and work. They have gone meaning everything is now all jumbled together.

Hi Rebecca,
This option is not available now but rest assured, I will make the developers aware of the fact that it's a feature that our sellers are asking be returned. In the meantime there's a couple of ways we can work around this, just temporarily until this is reinstated. First, you can view your seller escrow and the list of the workstreams beneath it. You can view these here:https://www.peopleperhour.com/payments/myMoney?ref=topmenu_loggedin#account
Also you can also add a star to the workstreams you're working on so that they can stand out, and you can remove the star once the job is completed. I know it's not the most intuitive option, but it just might get the job done for now. As I said, I'll tell the developers that they may need to revert some changes on the new dashboard.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you!

I totally agree with Rebecca's comments. In fact I've literally just posted a similar comment on your blog post about the new dashboard. Those really were two very useful features that have now gone and I agree that the 'workstreams in progress' is totally pointless. I have 'workstreams in progress' dated from 2009 simply because the buyer hasn't marked them as complete!
