I didn’t say leave, just resign as admin and become a regular user. I got an email on the situation this morning and I think they understand what needs to be done now, with any luck it will be sorted tomorrow.

Yes, if there’s a spot on the front page a list of the latest forum articles would be real handy! But right now its future is a bit uncertain, since Bazza’s threatening to leave if there’s still no word by Friday on the 30-second tech fix he’s been begging for for weeks. HINT

Oh, I did forget to add want make me smile when I saw the home page. There it says “Learn why ChinesePod is the most effective route towards mastering the Chinese language.”… and then there’s…. a picture of Jenny!

Yeah, I was kind of surprised to see Jenny’s picture now on the front page. Actually surprised there aren’t more comments about that. *grin*

BTW, I’m new here, and around advanced level after living in Tianjin for 3 1/2 years, but ChinesePod is a horse of another color, and something that makes Chinese learning even more fun… even the newbie lessons are fun to listen to, as just hearing Ken learn things from Jenny is quite interesting. So I want to say, truthfully as I have been through a lot of Chinese learning material, that this place 很棒！

Great changes to the home page too.

I couldn’t help it. I clicked on the Jenny button. Looks much nicer. The site that is.

Nice job with the site improvements! It’s definitely more user friendly and the polling is a great idea - a quick and easy way to gather feedback from your users. One suggestion would be to specify the difficulty level near the top of the lesson rather than at the bottom where it gets easily lost among the other tags. Also, not sure why there is a black bar underneath the tabbed links near the top. Is there a reason for the separation from the main nav? Other than that everything looks nice!

Looks good. Maybe the area below the Blog discussion could be a summary of forum topics, although at the moment topics with chinese characters won’t display properly though.

What I said about the width of the page was completely wrong, it’s the same width as before.

In the old design, on the right there were two columns not one. I was only seeing one of these two right hand columns before, so I thought the page was narrower than it is now.

Icons for the levels? Yes, please!
