Is there anyway to search the whole vocab database now?

Hi John I LOVE the tweaks!! You guys are so awesome, always improving and making life better for the poddies! The footer is very clear to see, well organzed and spaced out. It's easy to tool around CPod using it. Great job!!! I noticed just a couple of things: Subscription-it's not clear under which plan Qing Wen is included; perhaps I am missing it. Admin-it's nice to ID you folks. I wonder if the font/color/tab could be a little softer, it looks a little harsh under the ladies' beautiful avatar faces : )

Are you talking about the "Your Account" button under "Studies"?

No. I am on "Practice Plan" and there is usually an area that tells me what lessons I should be studying ready for my next telephone conversation, but with the new layout it seems to have gone.

Glad you like the footer. I noticed there's a problem with the section header links; I'll get those fixed on Monday. @Bazza: Yes, some of us at ChinesePod have been pushing for more convenient links to the forum for a long time, and our persistence finally paid off. :) Point taken about the Practice Plan missing. I will see what I can do. In the meantime, I recommend just clicking Home at the top of the page and then using the big "Review Your Practice Plan" at the bottom of the list there.

Bazza, Hmmm, no vocab search yet, but it's coming. Stay tuned next week for other exciting vocab developments!

John, did those errors on the pinyin sound chart get corrected? Can we rely on it being 100% correct now?

AZERDocMom, Those are two good points. I think we can accommodate both. I'll take action on Monday.
