I notice that there's been an update to the audio lessons -- instead of bars for the conversation in Spanish, the conversation in English, and Notes, there's a tabbed interface, and there's a better player interface. That looks good. In that change, however, it appears that MegaCards was disabled. I haven't actually used MegaCards yet, but I did look at the interface a few days ago and it appeared that there was a small nested window that would be used to display the flash cards. Now there's an instruction that says, "Click on 'Show Card' to see view [sic] the picture + hints and start the countdown" -- but there's nothing on the page labeled "Show Card!" In case it's OS/browser dependent, I'm using Vista Business with Firefox 3.0.12.

A tab was added with the flashcards apparatus a couple of days after I posted this. I'm happy that it got fixed, but I do have to wonder from the lack of acknowledgment of this post and other questions I've posted whether anyone from Rocket is actually watching this forum.

Well, on the positive side, at least the format change in the Learner's Lounge a few days ago that included temporarily losing the MegaCards capability indicates that there's still active involvement by the company on improving/fixing the courseware, even if the forums are being neglected. Thanks again.
