Trakt Logo No Longer Takes You To Dashboard šŸ˜¢

Discussions General

This is just a eulogy to the Trakt logo taking users directly to the dashboard lol. RIP :headstone:.

Even though thereā€™s a dedicated link for that now, Iā€™m so used to clicking the logo to get me to the dashboard. lol.

Anyone else will miss that? Wonder how long it will take me to get used to that :rofl:

I also just feel like the trakt logo page is kinda meaningless though. lol.

Yeah, I found it a bit funky too, ended up just bookmarking a shortcut to the dashboard on my browser toolbar, and use that to get me back now.

I could really use a setting to make the logo redirect to the Dashboard instead of the home page.

In the meantime, if anyone is interested:
Using the extension Tampermonkey you can make the Logo button redirect to the dashboard instead using this script:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Traktv - Logo to dashboard
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      2024-09-18
// @description  try to take over the world!
// @author       You
// @match        https://trakt.tv/*
// @icon         https://www.google.com/s2/favicons?sz=64&domain=trakt.tv
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
    'use strict';
    document.querySelectorAll("a[href='/home']").forEach(e => e.href = "/dashboard")
})();

Have to add my voice to it, this one definitely shouldnā€™t be a keeper, in my opinion. What reason does anyone have to regularly return to /home as opposed to the dashboard whereā€¦ yā€™know, everything we use is??? Idk who thought of this, but Iā€™m really curious about the thought process here.
Put a link to /home in the header if you must, but please revert this change that turned something convenient weā€™ve gotten used to over the years into something thatā€™s just pointless.

The September 17th ā€œRelease Notesā€ says:

I do not like this on Mobile devices. The mobile devices have the hamburger menu and I feel like this adds too many click-throughs to easily get back to my dashboard. I liked how the old logo was centered on mobile devices and always quickly took me back to my dashboard.

Suggestion, if you are logged in and possibly a VIP option in settings, to have the logo take you back to Dashboard instead of always Home page.

Well dang, I searched so that I didnā€™t create a duplicate postā€¦but thanks for the info. I have hard-refreshed everything and I still get sent to Home page. Iā€™ll give it a few more days to see if itā€™s just still propagating around.

Not really sure on that, the logo just goes to https://trakt.tv and that decides to load the home page or dashboard based on being signed in or not. Are you sure youā€™re signed in?

Yep, I use the website almost every single day. Most of the time while working during the day on my desktop, but when I check in to shows or movies in the evenings I use my phone (website). I havenā€™t had good eperiences with the iOS app so I just stick to the website on all my devices.

Weird. It worked for me. Are you sure itā€™s not some cache thing?

It finally started working. I restarted my entire machine and when I brought everything back up it worked like normal again.
