Minor improvements

Hi All,
New "My dashboard" functionality
Everybody now has their own "My dashboard" which you can find in your user dropdown menu OR from the breadcrumb navigation on your user profile page. Your dashboard gives you an overarching snapshot of all your nature mapping efforts at a glance.
This aligns to the existing dashboard functionality that is now available in many places throughout NatureMapr.
Dashboards will see continued improvements and richer metrics become available over time.
Retiring of legacy "Unidentified" section
Since 2013, NatureMapr had a dedicated "Unidentified" section, which was a large bucket of all unidentified sightings for moderators to check periodically at their discretion.
This page has grown to the extent that it is not sustainable to maintain going forward.
But the good news is we have replaced it with some even better functionality that aligns much better to our architecture vision.
To view all Unidentified sightings, simply go to any level 1 category (or in fact any category at all) E.g. Insects and click the new "View unidentified" button.
The sighting list will be immediately filtered to display Unidentified sightings only.
This consolidation has enabled us to decomission a large part of the system that was placing considerable strain on both our infrastructure and ourselves in hosting and managing it.
