Good work, guys :slight_smile:

I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in the speed and site (overall) seems to be a bit tidier (including the profile page).

I’ve got one issue that I can’t seem to work around at the moment. I’m trying to find some stuff that I have (or had) in my Archives for Spanish, but it doesn’t seem to appear using any of the Sort options that are on the page (None, A-Z, Recently Opened, Recently Added, Date Shared in Library, Rating). Is there any way I can sort it so that it shows me everything I currenlty have archived, regardless of when it was last opened etc?

Have you tried the Search box at the top. I think we will need some feedback on the Library to make sure it works as well as possible.

Firstly I’d like to thank everyone at Lingq for updating he site. 2.0 is is considerably better and more efficient.

I am able to use the website just fine on Mozilla Firefox but not Chrome (I don’t know which version of Chrome I’m using). Also even on Firefox (and Internet explorer, which incidentally I think is where broken software goes when it dies) the audio is not working with Google translate. Also I am unable to add imported lessons to a collection.

7

@steve - I could try that, but I can’t remember the names of the collections. If nothing can be done, I’ll just find some other similar collections to fulfill the same purpose.

8

@peter - Not sure why those lessons aren’t all showing up. In the meantime, can you try showing courses instead of lessons when looking at the My Lessons view in the Library? You might have a better chance of finding the course.

@bonnenouvellejonny - Text to speech isn’t working yet. When you import a lesson you choose the course at the top right from a dropdown beside the Title.

@lmyirt - Not a bad thought and we have toyed with a section name like that but we want to keep the menu items down. Let’s see how this goes for a bit.

OK

@mark - Thanks, yes, I was able to find it under “Courses”. “Trafalgar” was the one I was looking for. So I opened up the collection, found the chapter I was up to, and I clicked the dropdown menu on it and I had the option of unarchiving it. So the system does think it was in my archive, but for some reason it wasn’t showing. Maybe it has something to do with being part of a course, and therefore search filters on the first page don’t recognise it?

I still can’t access my profile page ( FireFox 15.0).

12

Try to log on - 500 server error
Click “Learn”- 500 server error
Try to change language from drop down menu - 500 server error
Click on a lesson title in the library - 500 server error
Click on a previously imported lesson - 500 server error
Type in import lesson box and click to save and open - 500 server error

This happens on my computer with Vista and FF as well as on a totally different computer at a different location running Windows XP and Chrome.

Wednesday night things worked. Thursday night they didn’t.

What works: flashcards from vocabulary page, audio from library page, forum - obviously, profile…

Speed of running through the lesson while adjusting levels of LingQs is noticeably slower than yesterday. There is a 3 second delay after selecting a new number before you can do anything.

Still can’t delete imported lessons.
