New italki website According to italki's announcement the new beta version has above all an improved design and offers better user experience. I usually use italki to post or answer questions and write or review notes. I usually use the desktop version (the app on my phone has always had bugs, in particular relating to messages that miss the clickable link to the article or notebook). Therefore, these comments are restricted to this part of the whole site, and for the desktop release. Having said that, for me the new version is anything but an improvement. The following changes make working on the site harder or quite annoying: - Smaller picture size on participant and quite small font for name and post time. - The pop-up info that appeared when moving over the participant no longer exist. It provided important information about the languages and levels he/she learned and have. - There is no way to right-click on an entry in order to open it in another tab. That allowed me to make a selection of questions or notes I wanted the answer or correct. Now I have to go one by one, but once I have finished with it, when I go back, the selections are lost (learning language, written in). - Even the "Notebook entry" window in which we write the notes lost the bottom-right control that allowed resizing the editor's box size. It seems italki had to change their site theme and customize a new one. In terms of functionality and design (font size, for instance) the site still has things to sort out. Fortunately, as I was writing this note, I found a wonderful link at the bottom of the page: "Back to classic site."
