When something new happens on ChinesePod, you can read about it here! All the bug fixing of late has gotten real results, so we’d like to bring to your attention:

• User vocabulary has long since been migrated, and the users that have reported any missing vocab have had any missing words brought back from limbo.
• The ChinesePod Dictionary, which suffered from some “click to add” failures for a period of time, is no back in fine form. Use it!
• A few lessons that had missing comments for a time have had all those old comments re-imported. (Perhaps most notably, Cold Will Kill You. This one’s for you, Goulniky!)
• The fonts used for the ChinesePod lesson exercises have increased in size. They should be easier on your eyes now.
• Personal feeds are now limited to 100 items. This is not an effort to restrict you; rather, this makes your feed play with iTunes much more nicely.
• After some “spammy misunderstandings” on a new mail server, the ChinesePod academic e-mail has returned. For the time being, it will only go out to paying customers, however.
• ChinesePod’s “About Us” page has been updated. Take a look! (In the latest News and Features show, you can also hear the voices of some of those unfamiliar faces.
• The ChinesePod Integrated ChinesePod Blog is back! Expect a bunch of posts to roll out in the next few weeks, finishing off the semester of IC Chinese in time for the holidays.

OK, enough talk about the present. I want to share a few things about the future! Here we go…

• We know that exercise #3 in the lessons can be quite buggy. It will be replaced very soon.
• We have heard your cries for “better vocabulary management,” and we are slaving away at making them better. Stay tuned!

Lastly, please remember that we are in the midst of a ChinesePod Christmas Special. Don’t miss your chance to save big on a premium subscription!
