How to get the new Confluence dashboard back?

Do you have Confluence v5.9 or above installed and clicked on the “Give me the old dashboard” link only to wonder how to get it back?

It’s a straight forward process but not an obvious one.

1. Paste /users/darkfeatures.action to your base url. eg http://localhost:8090/users/darkfeatures.action
2. At the bottom, click on the remove link after simple.dashboard.disabled

There is another solution that will allow you to remove the entry on behalf of another user that involves running a SQL query against the database. Further info can be found here.
