Am I the only one?

Dave, this time you probably are ;) I love the new home page. Before "home" was a large wasteland with a hand full of lonesome links on it. Now it is a pulsing heart. It especially boosts my efficiency when I need to do some catching up with lesson download. Furthermore it represents a nice middle way between the V2 and the calender-extreme. Sorry that this sounds like an advertisment. It is just that the new home page already came *very close* to my dream page. (well, an optional chinese version would be cool, as would feeding in comments from user conversations, or a direct display of dict-results on the front page...).

Dave, give it another try. I think you will warm up to it. I like the lessons bright and bold on the left. Everything seems to be there and easily accessible.

hi dave, you will learn to like it, hehe. did your mom ever tell you that? ;) kind of like broccoli and turnips. i'm sure it will grow on you.

All I remember along those lines is my mom saying "you'll understand when you're older why ______" and I'm still waiting for the pearls of wisdom to come raining down. Anyway, thanks Amber, I probably just need to spend more time with it (but so far it's had my mind doing backflips).

Dave & Amber, if you tasted my wife's turnip dish with sesames seeds you would immediately stop talking bad about that wonderful vegetable and understand your moms. Even my kids gulp it down like hungry wolves. But do not ask me for the metaphorical consequences of all this in the context of this thread. T

Even though I'm often puzzled by change, I like the new homepage and lesson details too (of course, the fact that this messes up my tag parser is neither here nor there :-(

But of course: 萝卜青菜，各有所爱 :)

SMOOTH OPERATOR - besides the merits or demerits of whether the changes are good or bad, I just wanted to note that it has been noticed that the recent changes have occurred technically very smoothly. There haven't been an introduction of (many) new bugs, and the changes are quite transparent in meeting previously requested needs. Great job, 加油！

I like how the Homepage again has some of the recent posts, that's nice back from V2... just wish it had some more then just that, as well as top conversations again. Even so, I still prefer my Google Reader to first quickly scan new conversation and see John/Amber answers... with that you don't have to load an web pages, Google does it quickly like it does its mail.

And us poor computer illiterates... I am still wondering if I need to do something, in order that studies lessons are moved to the archive. Today I found that in the archive are studied lessons as wells as bookmarked lessons. And on the home page there are all those lessons I have studied, together with the bookmarked ones. What happens if I click the remove button? Will they then disappear forever? Otherwise, I really like the homepage. I especially like that there is a direct link to the dictionary.

I tried clicking the remove button and it made the lesson disappear from both the main page and the archieve, at least as far as I could tell. When I bookmarked it again it reappeared but not on the top as I would expect from the most recently bookmarked lesson. As I understand it, it's not supposed to be like that but they are working on it. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It's taking some getting use to, but it's loads better than the previous ones. Not to mention the new dictionary is the best thing since slice bread.

I had a play around with Spanishsense to get the feel, the more you cram in to one page the better. Ipods have become too generic. I use my Nokias to listen i can also read the pdfs on it.
