Can anyone catch me up on what's happening?

大家好。I'm back. I've been gone for such a long time, I'm not sure what all I missed. I was on vacation in the US and I'm having a tough time reconnecting. Any tips from people who have been naughty like me and did not keep up with their Chinese this summer? I don't even understand the conversation posts anymore. Yikes!

Hey Wei1Xiao4... I'm with you on that. I've been too busy being back in China, that I haven't have chance to be on ChinesePod (well, more my own inability to get around to anythign actually). I hear lots of changes taken place. I heard through the grapevine, from students here at my university in Tianjin (Nankai University), that a change to only be able to hear Newbie lessons made them really unhappy with ChinesePod and so no longer use it. So that got me to come back and see what's up... I haven't gotten to read anything on it, so not sure if what I heard is right.

I also haven't gotten used to the community groups and all...don't know what is a group, what is just a post... ack... so lost.

Thanks for posting those. Still can't figure out the whole Community post listing very well, and I'm familiar web site programming and content management...ugh. Even tried searching and that did nothing.

Thanks for the links 7dwarfs. It took me several days to catch up. Bad month to be on vacation!
