I absolutely agree, new design is absolutely terrible. Hard to use and understand where the last lesson I left off at.

I'll add that I gave up on Codeacademy a few weeks back because every time I visited the site from my email, it had a new design/format on the courses page. I got bored of figuring it out again each time, and the fact my Facebook Connect login never seemed to keep my progress from last time.

It's a hard situation, because they clearly are improving the site and adding features to the courses (tracks etc.) that are welcome - perhaps CodeAcademy need to work on communicating what has changed to the users. For example, when I signed up it was really just one exercise after another, now it has tracks/courses/games/lessons. Maybe it is just a wording problem?

Would love to hear your feedback - this is the first major redesign we've done of the Courses page and not much has changed before now. We'd love to take your thoughts into consideration as we redesign it.

We'll also do a better job of fixing wording and explaining what's going on. Thanks again.

Thanks for your feedback, ramatgan. I'm the co-founder of Codecademy. I'd love your feedback - can you email us?
