I am very sorry that we can't help you solve the problem sooner as we are on a five-day public holiday in China. But the tech team has been working on the bugs in the dashboard and they will look into the problem when we go back to work on Tuesday.
Thank you for your patience.
brendaninaus,
Thank you for sharing your tip.
