I have two questions? how come it is so slow to upload the pictures (same as are in the lesson)? 6 hours and even the normalize.css still not uploaded. also, when i have to take tests/exercises, if i make a mistake, its takes ages to go back, watch video again, and go back to do the tests. very bad interface and not user friendly. in the tests, if i get questions wrong, i just keep going till i get some the right answers instead of having small hints or tutorials along the way.

The tests are very easy to cheat, but this isn't for school. If you are just clicking through tests until you answered enough to pass, you are kind of missing the entire point of this site. If you get a question wrong, re watch that part of the video or google it.. whatever needs to be done for you to learn. If all you are doing is collecting badges, you should check out Pokemon, its a lot more fun :) Your slow connection could be caused by many things. The type of connection you use, the browser, add-ons, how many programs your computer is running, malware, virus, even just alot of dust in your computer. Or, if you share your connection with anyone, it will run slower as more people are connecting to it. It sounds like this is a recent problem, so I would bet malware or dust. Malwarebytes is a free program and a good place to start. To clean out your computer, make sure its unplugged. Take off the side panel and carefully everything off with a can of compressed air. Be careful not to disconnect anything unless you know how it all goes back together.

340 PointsGlad you love pokemon so much, good to hear some people still play it. My connection and computer are fine, I upload and edit pictures and videos online on a daily basis, but a file 9.55kb in size won't upload to this, makes one wonder. My point about the tests is that in order to re-watch the video, I have to go back out of the test and back to the video, when the video could be available on a link beside the test, so you don't waste time. And if I get a question wrong, it should say at the end of the test what the correct answer is, so one finds out. Its also the same for the exercises, if i make a mistake, I have to exit the exercise and return to the video. For a course on how to build websites, I'm just surprised its not more interactive and easier to navigate. Just some feedback for the team. Jonathan.
