Dictionary question

I don't mean to ask something obvious, but has something happened to the 'supplementary sentences' feature of the dictionary?  I see the header whenever I search for a word, but no sentences pop up.  I'm logged in, too; not sure what the problem is.

Yeah, I'm not sure when it stopped working. Someone else posted about this a day ago but there has been no response from the powers-that-be. The "Related Lessons" also do not appear during the dictionary search..

On a similar note, is there a link to get to the dictionary from within CPod? Aside from bookmarking http://labs.chinesepod.com/dictionary, how does everyone get there? It'd be nice if there were a link to the dictionary on every page within CPod....maybe at the top where "Home | Lessons | Conversations | Help" is???

Calkins, there's a dictionary search box on the ChinesePod homepage. :)

I'm a bit sad the feature isn't working. It has been my favorite part of the website since I found out about it. Boo!

Boo indeed. I think since the Dictionary falls under the "labs" project there is no guarantee of it working all of the time. Although, the Dictionary search box is on the main page so it does seem a bit more official than the other lab projects.
