Forum: Typo First-time user questions

I'm just importing my Movable Type blog into Typo 5.3.  A few random 
questions:

1. It looks like the spam filtering only scans when comments/trackbacks 
are
initially created. Is there a way to get it to re-scan everything 
against
Akismet?

2. The admin UI is a little confusing and inconsistent with article 
links.
Sometimes they take me to an editor window where I can edit the article
(from the Content tab); sometimes to the view of the article itself 
(from
the Dashboard), sometimes to a list of comments that doesn't include the
original article (from the Feedback tab). Sometimes those URLs use the
article ID, sometimes the full SEO URL..

The result: If I'm looking at feedback, and I want to see the original 
post
in context, I have to click on the article name to see the comments 
list,
and click on the article name again to see the edit-the-article screen. 
That
URL uses the article ID, but I don't know the route for "view an article 
by
ID" (if there even is one) so that doesn't help. But from here, I can 
see
which categories the article's in, and then I can go look at the real 
blog
to drill down by category.. oy!

I feel like there's an opportunity for redesign, but I'm not sure what, 
exactly.


- Is there any way to view trackbacks from the admin UI? The Feedback 
tab
will list the trackbacks, but their excerpts are just the article title
(unless that's only for MT-imported trackbacks?)

- Are there any useful blogs I should follow, besides typosphere itself?

Thanks!

Great! Can we know the reason of the switch please?

This is not possible yet, but I add it to the "Maybe someday" task list.

I know, I've recorded every usability issue and plan to fix them when
I have some time. Admin was revamped screen after screen, without any
coherence (which sucks, because designing UI is my job)

It's planned, don't worry

I know, it's a bug, and it will be fixed in the next release.

Unfortunately, the 2 most active mainteners are french, and we're
blogging in French. I plan to blog about Typo in english too so that
people can follow me. You can follow my thoughts on 
http://t37.net/category/typo/
  through google translate or Yahoo! pipes if you want. Cyril's blog
is blog.shingara.fr.
