One very minor point. Coming from a marketing background myself, I’ve always strived to avoid the term “traffic”, and use the more human “visitors” instead. I’m well aware the jargon uses “traffic”, in the same style as “foot traffic” (or footfall). But perhaps it doesn’t need to be.
Hey @martin - I totally agree. I am just catching up on this new feature. @fsasaki and I were talking about this and I want to make sure that this is truly a Staff only feature. I can’t truly test this if the Everyone group is being used. This should really only be a feature that is available to designated groups. Please let me know when a Staff only option is available for this dashboard testing. Thank you!

Hi @Michelle_L , in this case the Everyone option is just a misleading label. If you turn on this upcoming change to Everyone, it will still only affect staff because only staff can access the admin UI.
I haven’t gotten around to it yet but this is why I want us to be able to say that certain upcoming changes only have the Staff and No One options, because presenting Everyone doesn’t make sense in cases like the admin UI where Everyone can’t see it anyway.

I don’t quite understand why feedback is being asked for here, only for the change to become permanent without the reported feedback being taken into account.
I would still prefer it if empty lines in the reports on my dashboard were one line taller, like the ones with data, instead of being so much larger.
This was easier to read:

Thank you for reporting! I’m currently trying to reproduce this in the development environment on the latest commit but this is what I see:
Is your screenshot taken on your production site? If so, can you let me know which version your site is on so that I can investigate further?

My forum is on https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/9d3a724a576f10791ea216ac689512dbc79e5115. At least that’s what ‘manage updates’ links to.
It’s a forum on your hosting
