User Settings Added

Our developers have been working hard on making the site the best viewing experience for you.  Some people have lower bandwidth, so we initially limited the new videos to our mobile, or lower resolution stream, so more people could view the videos.

Yesterday our developers finished the user settings feature.  This allows you to decide how you’ll view your videos.  HD (high definition), or SD (standard definition), and if the videos will automatically load and advance to the next page.

While some may think the auto play is a no-brainer, others have requested this as they may want to watch a particular video a few times before it advances to the next lesson.

Once your user settings are switched to your preference, the site will remember your preferences each time you log in.  Changing the settings is as easy as clicking on the SETTINGS tab under each video.

Much more to come, but rest assured we’re working on all issues.
