Hi,
What skin are you using, and why are the panels disappearing?

Hi Vincent,

There's a Recently Visited panel that can help you here.
Hi,
First; thanks to everyone who helped me make more blogs in my
xwiki, it works beautifully! (though it's not the most beautiful
code ever written...)
Second;
As far as I can tell there are no links from anywhere in the
administration or editing modes to get back to the rest of the
wiki. (there are save and cancel options, but that's not the same
thing as 'Back') Have I missed something? If not; any hints on how
and where to add such links?
For usability purposes- to make life easier for the future admins
of the xwiki I'm setting up...
* Then I guess you have the same issue when editing pages since the
navigation on the right disappears? How do you want to solve that?
Yes, it's a problem there too. I want to solve it by constantly showing the same
menu, wherever the user goes
* I've noticed that on the Admin page there's a big blank space on
the right. We shouldn't have that. Either we should put the normal
navigation there or use the full space for the admin screens. I think
we should use the full space.
I think showing the menu at all times is better. Giving users the same way to do stuff
(such as navigate) wherever they are in the system is good usability practice. I'd say
it's preferable that the desicions on what panels to show, and where, should apply on
every single page in the wiki. In whatever kind of mode you're in.
Back to your question, you can click on the Space in the breadcrumbs
or on the logo to go to the home page or cancel/save. What more would
you like and where?
Ah, but see the breadcrumbs aren't always showing the directory I took to get to a
certain page. Example: I'm at "Main: Welcome > All Documents of this
Wiki" when
I realize I should change the rights for a certain user group, so I press Administration
and the breadcrumbs are "XWiki: Administration > Preferences" and I can't
use them to get back to "All Documents of this Wiki".
The logo takes me to "Main: Welcome" which
is also not the place I wanted to go.
Say I change the rights a bit and press Save, I get directed to "XWiki:
Administration". If i hit Cancel instead I end up at "Main: Welcome"
That's strange, cancel should also get you to Administration. Are you
sure it goes to Main?
Not what I'm looking for when I want to get back
to "Main: Welcome > All Documents of this Wiki".
What more would I like? A set of panels (navigation or otherwise) always showing on the
side of my choice.
Hopefully I'll have enough time to perform a proper usability test. If my boss lets
me I'd love to share the results with you.
