Bug Description
Upgraded to Mahara 1.40 this summer. Users are taken to a default "my name's blog" when clicking on the journal link under the content tab - with no option to add a new journal or to display any others that they might have created. If the same users click on the "Publish a Journal' link on the dashboard the button to create a new journal, and any other journals are also visible. The hyperlink from each of these two links appears to be the same.
I've encountered the issue when working with staff who had Mahara accounts before the upgrade, as well as new students - when clicking on either link, I (the administrator) see the option to create a new journal and all my existing journals, but others who have a second journal don't see it when clicking on the journal link under the tabs.
I've found the reference to opting to have multiple journals from the individual's acount settings but this issue is really confusing our users who are encouraged to keep separate journals for different purposes. If I had option to enable multiple journals globally by default that would help - but users should see the all of their journals and ideally the same 'create' option from the tab link that they see from the dashboard.

Hi Gordon,
Is the problem here that there is no sitewide default for enabling multiple journals, or was there another bug here?
Cheers,
Hugh
