Hi guys I was looking for the post made by Suxiaoya about 2010's study goals / resolutions and all the comments seen to be disappeared? I was wondering how I was doing on my NY resolutions since we are almost half way 2010. Here is the link : http://chinesepod.com/community/conversations/post/6527 Am I missing something or are all the comments gone? If I google my username plus "narrow dwellings" I see the start of a comment that I posted on jan 3rd, but in my posts this does not show up in ALL the comments I posted. Very strange...

That's not a bad thing for the posters who already failed to keep their new year resolutions, hehe.

I think the reason it's lost is because it was not a lesson discussion but rather a discussion started by suxiaoya under her username...thus I guess you'd have to belong to the group suxiaoya to view it. Actually I don't think it's even likely there. I think many of the discussion threads started by poddies have been lost in the changeover.

Hi guys, thx I understand it know! Maybe it is better this particular comment disappeared :-P

However, to be honest, this is not good for a company who values / depends on their community so much :-).

If this really is the case how many comments  (% of) are gone?

Why not email it as a request through the contact link and see if they can restore the thread?

suxiaoya was aware and responded to you here that she would check with the "tech peeps"

Yes, as rjberki says, I am working on sorting out the issue. The tech team know about this and confirmed that it's a question of recovering these comments (they haven't been lost forever!).

I shall make sure this is pushed through. It would be devastating to lose content like that.

I missed that comment! Thx Rj. for letting me know.

Changye and Baba, maybe I should have kept my big mouth shot hahaha!

Suxiaoya, thank your reply, sorry I missed it before. Good luck with the recovery and thank you for your response & swift action !! :-)

Hi chanelle,

I remember posting on this thread and I am almost sure I said my resolution was to learn Chinese characters.  I'm up to about 250 now.  It must be the only resolution I have ever kept.

Do you remember your resolution?

Hey you are doing a great job! They say it only gets easier....

Well I had quite a few lol: I know it was something like this: pass HSK (check), learn "bad" chinese (can learn some more), move to advance lessons (not yet :-)), watch Narrow Dwellings in Chinese (did not find the time), pass driving license (check) and some more I forgot... which might be a good things as Baba and Changye mentioned haha.... most likely it is improving my writing which until now is not "great" to say the least! But, still half a year to go!

Good luck with the next 250!!!!!!

thanks chanelle,

I guess I'm going to have to learn to drive or just be a passenger as my wife has decided to buy a car.

Noooo, hkboy, we'll get back those resolutions!! What's the point of learning to drive if your wife can already?! Learning Mandarin is cool and it does minimal damage to the environment ;-)

P.S. Congrats on learning 250 characters, that's awesome, resolution or no resolution!

Thanks suxiaoya,

I totally agree about the driving. However, my wife is a terrible driver and it scares me to ride with her.

It's gotta beat this though, right? :-)

haha. funny. Also, in HK they drive on the left side of the road. I don't think I could make the change over.
