        <description><![CDATA[<p>哈哈；现在我们有N&amp;F reinforcing recently learnt vocab with &ldquo;闭嘴&rdquo;，虽然 这里 it sounded like it can be used in a more polite way;对不对？</p>
<p>Having 50 lessons on one page sounds like a good idea as it should make things a bit more efficient.</p>
<p>Ok;just checked it out and I love it.I'm particularly happy that you have left it as an <em>option </em>,so you can still get the more full blurb if you want to,or can flick that button and navigate the lessons faster.While less important than what you've already done,I'd like to see this same list option available under the Me section,and also under the Latest Lessons tab.Options like this are great.</p>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>@kl00 Yeah I've seen that tv show, it was ok during the writer's strike, but haven't watched s2.</p>
<p>Also since the New and Features comments are read by members of all levels in the community, please add English translations and/or pinyin to your Chiense comments. Thanks :D</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Matt,</p>
<p>Sure.Sorry 'bout that.I think [hope] I've been remembering now for Newbie and Ellie.I know this has been discussed before and perhaps it did come up for N&amp;F as well.Do you think it's worth specifying in the Comments Policy the channels other than Newbie and Ellie lessons where English translations are expected just to clear up any possible confusion/serve as a reminder for new users and older users like myself who are slow to catch on? I'll remember for N&amp;F now,but I'm a bit unclear if it's expected on any other channels than the 3 mentioned above.</p>
<p>What I was trying to say in my post above with:</p>
<p>"哈哈；现在我们有N&amp;F reinforcing recently learnt vocab with &ldquo;闭嘴&rdquo;，虽然 这里 it sounded like it can be used in a more polite way;对不对？"</p>
<p>...was:</p>
<p>haha,now we have N&amp;F reinforcing recently learnt vocab with "shut up" ,although here it sounded like it can be used in a more polite way,correct?</p>]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi cPod,</p>
<p>Great update! I'd like to request one as well: sometimes I can't remember whether or not I have replied to a certain message in my message inbox. It would be great to have a small flag, arrow or similar near the messag to indicate I have replied. E.g. the blue arrows in this <a href="http://www.atpm.com/7.12/images/o-inbox-view.gif" target="_blank">picture</a>.</p>
<p>PS Can't wait to see the menu stealer :-) DS</p>]]></description>
