chinesepod people and other techno geeks,

 

this dictionary  is great.  i can look up all sorts of words.  problem is i don't seem to be able to save them to my own vocab.

 

i'm already logged on to cp.com.  when i launch the dictionary, it opens in a new tab (i'm using firefox - if that is important).  i can make searches without any problems.  where there are examples, i see those too and the links to lessons.  however, when i try to add the words to my existing vobab, a dialogue box informs me that i need to log on.  whatever i do, i can't get the damn thing to work.

 

please help me chinapod.  i really am into this mandarin because of you and i am at a loss as far as this dictionary is concerned.

 

please note that if i have to twiddle any geeky stuff on my computer, i am a bit dense.  keep it simple

I think CPod staff posts might be sparse this week due to the National Holiday when everyone has the week off.

You can be logged into CPod from the chinesepod.com homepage, but NOT logged into the dictionary itself. When you search for a new word from the homepage the dictionary will open in a new window. You'll need to log in AGAIN in the dictionary window (top right hand corner--same login info as the regular homepage). Hope that does it!

No worries. I had the same problem in the beginning, so I can relate. =)
