New version of italki.com!

New version of italki.com! Today a new version of italki went live!   There have been many changes to the layout, design, navigation, and features of italki.   A couple of changes wed like to highlight are to Answers and the Language Index. Answers When you ask a question, you will be able to add additional information to clarify your question; however, you can not edit your original question.   While the question is still open (ie within 14days of initially being asked, with no best answer having been chosen), respondents can edit their answer.   This may help respondents more accurately answer the question after it has been clarified by the asker. Members can also now vote as to whether questions as related to language learning or not related.   Three votes indicating its related to language learning will move it into a category of Educational questions.   Members can then decide if they only want to see educational questions related to language learning.   We hope this will help those who are focused on language studies more easily access relevant questions, while giving others a chance to ask cultural and similar questions on the side. There is now a quick Ask a question box on the right side of every Answers page, so you can ask questions more quickly and easily. Language Index The language index page for each language is now a one-stop shop for everything related to that language.   Weve aggregated all the different pages and put them in each languages index page.   That includes self-study resources like: podcasts, videos, documents, websites, and Knowledge, as well as interactive resources like: language partners, teachers, groups and answers.   You can still post on the blackboard of that language, too. The new Podcasts and Videos tabs makes it much easier and quicker to find and share multimedia resources for learning that language. Start browsing around the most recent version of italki to get an idea of the new features and layout, then tell us what you think.   We encourage you to send your feedback on these or any other features youd like to see to feedback@italki.com or leave a message on our Contact Us page.
