john - Site Upgrade Coming
Hi, everybody. ChinesePod is about to undergo a site upgrade (the same one SpanishPod has had). This will require the site to be down for about 4 hours. Sorry for the interruption! We're excited about the new features this will bring us.

Thanks for the advance warning, John Pasden! Good luck with the transition, and thank you too for working so hard to improve things for us.

Congratulations with the roll-out.
Everything seems to work ok here.
Of course it will take a while getting used to things. Only confusion is about the bookmarked versus subscribed lessons. All my current lessons seem to be 'bookmarked'. And they are presented not in chronological order, but according to type. I get all the "Qing Wen"'s at the beginning. Maybe partially my fault because I have 177 lessons bookmarked in total, hardly efficient, I know. But i wonder about 'subscribed'...That list is still empty. Will all future lessons that are in my feed get in that list?

Ever since the upgrade, I cannot seem to set a filter to view my "studied" lessons like I could on the old site. Only "assigned", "bookmarked", and "subscribed" seem to be available this way. I rather enjoyed going back to my studied lessons after a few days to make sure I remembered everything. How do I access these now without having to sift through ALL of the old lessons?

Hi, marcdevincentis, I wouldn't jump in, but it's now early nighttime in Shanghai so you might not get a direct answer soon. CPod is aware that we need a way to view studied lessons, and they have said that something is on the way to fix this. This came up in the "New Features for a New ChinesePod" discussion thread. It's a long thread, but if you do a browser-search within the page for "studied", you should find John's original, brief statement that we should expect an improvement soon.

I was slowly working and reviewing the elementary lessons. This new layout seems to be somewhat difficult and less friendly to how I was using you. How can I just access Elementary lesson?

@quasifrog
Go to the tab "Channel" at the top of the "Lessons" page and it will have all the levels to choose from : )

Day 2 of Upgrade and I still can't use flashcards or concentration game ! (two of the main tools I was paying C-pod for) The whole right side of both flashcards and concentration game is lopped off on my screen. I use Macintosh OSX 10.5.2. This is your site, right, and not on my end ? You must be working on this, Right?
Looking forward to seeing this fixed,
Bob
