April 15, 2010, 07:50 AMHi Guys,
I read the post and subscribed to all the lesson groups and do not see any lesson related comments in the dashboard only non lesson group related comments in a non chronological order. Is this normal or maybe roll out is not completed?
John
chanelle,
The lesson comment display is slightly delayed to keep the server table is we complete final database optimizations. More info here.

Okidoki! Good luck with the roll out!

April 15, 2010, 11:34 AMI'm sure Alan is a nice guy, but let's make a new Dashboard resolution to let guys like Alan know that this is a language learning site. Surely there is something we can do to deter watch salesmen?
I don't wear a watch. :-)

On topic:
fyi: I tried the "show oldest" and "show newest" buttons and the display order of lessons stays the same (newest below, oldest on top). Is this the way to show the newest lesson on top or am I missing something?
Still have to get used a little to the new dashboard but I like the compact view so far! And nice to have lessons and comments in one place, saves a window / click!

April 15, 2010, 06:45 PMWhy this (of general interest) has been posted into the Intermediate Group? One who only subscribed to the Newbie or Ele group will never read this! What a mess!
xiaophil
Yes, I noticed that too only after I made the post. I think because I am an upper-intermediate learner, I fall into intermediate "group," which in turn makes my default post setting intermediate.

xiaophil,
I've just checked it out and when writing a new post ,under the box where you enter "title" is "group" button and a drop down list to choose which group to post it in.
It looks like the save as draft function has gone though unless I just can't spot it.

April 16, 2010, 12:55 AMCan someone please tell me how I can show lesson threads on the conversations pages? I don't know why, but they don't appear. I can only see group threads now.

April 16, 2010, 12:59 AMthis is a temporary measure while they're installing the new system.John has said it was intense to show all the lesson discussions at the moment and may have caused a system crash. I think it'll likely start showing in the next few days.

April 16, 2010, 02:34 AMI need a "select all the groups" button, and the lesson conversations (latest comments) tag on the community page.

Another issue, not sure if it's been reported already, appears to be the last post info in the list of conversations. It is only showing the original post's time and date of posting, from what I can tell.
This could be the main reason why I am having so much trouble with it.

My late grandmother once told me that you shouldn't do something beyond your abilities, hehe.

April 15, 2010, 06:53 AMWow, what's happening? This is confusing. Test run I hope.
