Pagination buttons aren't working (current page isn't highlighted).

Logging in as a tutor, and then returning to the home page throws up the Stripe flash behind the Featured Projects and Featured Tutors titles.

How do I see the virtual classroom without bidding on a "project".

We have hundreds of expert tutors, teachers and advisers from around the globe standing by.

Really? I'm user 38.

Thanks for catching those bugs, I'll fix them up.

Classrooms are created when a bid is accepted so there's no way to navigate to one of the actual classrooms beforehand. I should probably incorporate a screenshot or preview of the classroom on the home page.

I guess I wrote that copy in a fit of optimism! Corrected it so as not to be misleading.

Thanks for the feedback.

And none of your Featured Tutors seem to have accounts.

Also you might want to set up a notification system to let registered tutors learn about new projects in categories they're interested in.

Keep going, I think you have the M down, only V and P to go ;-)

Yep, a tutor notification system is on my to-do list. Good idea.

Thanks again for spending so much time with it.

Glad the optimism hasn't worn off :-) Stripe only works for the US and Canada, so...

And Welcome to the world's premier online learning marketplace! is a bit spammy, and yet twee at the same time. Quite an achievement! ;-)

You're right about Stripe, however it's just the suggested payment method. If they don't use it, I don't get paid but I'm not going to try to keep people walled in, especially in light of Stripe's limited availability ex. North America.

I'm going to stand by that one, even if just to save a little pride. ;) Technicalities FTW!

Then why can't I hide the ugly red banner?

Stripe can be used to charge foreign cards too.
