Bring back lists.

Not having the option to see the courses in a list is a big pain in the butt. Being able to quickly see which courses I've studied/bookmarked, or might want to study was awesome. Taking this away and forcing the new layout is a downgrade. Why are you reinventing the wheel, only this time making it into a bumpy octagon? It was great the way it was.

I COULDN’T AGREE MORE!!!

I've been a loyal CP Premium subscriber for seven years! Looking at my list of "lessons completed" gave me a small smile of satisfaction and sense of achievement.

The new design may be more attractive (for first time users), but it’s not practical for hard-core learners that need more functional features!

Nice to hear from another 'hard core learner" :-)

haha, if nothing else, the unwelcome changes have elicited a lot of commentary from people who I never saw on the message boards before! I hope the "lurkers" have found the community section posts to be (on balance) a valuable part of the service. CPod management does not seem to think so.

absolutely agree. It would be great if the upgrade was actually useful i.e in the self study section when you've clicked "studied" on a subject it shows that its actually been studied and gives the test grade. 

I dont know why the developers arent listening to their customers.

Oh. My. God. I can't see which classes I've already done anymore without clicking individually on every single class. This is horrible! Please bring back the list, and the studied/bookmarked icons! This new format is virtually useless!

Yes, please bring the old layout back! I like seeing 10+ lessons in a list on my screen, not just three!

Yes, bring back the lists!

The new design is a UX nightmare.

It looks like they listened! Well...sort of. For some reason the auto-bookmarked lessons (for subscribed channels) don't show up.
