cannot see future milestones in list

I believe it's because we have so many milestones. Is there a limit to how many this page shows? If so, I'd rather that old milestones are not in the list. I do want future milestones visible.

I count 30 viewable milestones in the list.

thx

Ben

    skitch doesn't do full browser window capture, so I attached a pic of the top of the list and bottom of the list

    Thats cool, http://www.derailer.org/paparazzi/ is a super cool full window website screenshot app, just for future reference. I'm a skitch addict though, but Paparazzi comes in handy.

    How many future milestones are not displayed?

    Yeah, I about downloaded paparazzi..

    3 milestones are not displaying. But if I delete old milestones (which I have had to do in the past), they appear one by one for each old milestone I delete.

    So, I'm still deleting old milestones and their associated tickets. It doesn't feel right to do this. When do you think this ticket might be complete? Am I using lighthouse wrong by doing weekly milestones? How should I be using this tool?

    Hey Ben. I'm sorry for the delay. I'm moving this up to a priority for early this week.

    As far as deleting milestones, that's not a very common practice inside Lighthouse. You break everything down by weeks, and it's very possible the UI may not be friendly on the long term when you have so many milestones sifting in and out like that. Out of curiosity, would you mind explaining your overall workflow with Lighthouse?

    We have weekly milestones, as if they were iterations. We've been using your tool since October or November last year. So we have had ~45 milestones. The only reason I delete milestones is so I can see a couple milestones in the future. Our milestones are calendar based, not feature based.

    The current design doesn't lend itself very well to pagination. The next deployment raises the limit of how many milestones are returned, but a complete redesign of the milestone section is on the way.
