I have a strange behaviour: I cant see the videos on Chromium/Linux Mint 11 while they work in Firefox/Linux Mint 11 on the same laptop, but they were ok on my Chrome/XP office computer. Any idea?

Same thing here, the videos never start. Using firefox 3.6.16 with flash 10 on linux.

Dislaimer: I'm not the target audience. Looks good. $25/mo seems too much. Can't take any sample tests without paying $25.

We're hoping to make a couple Code Challenges and Quizzes public soon. Couldn't finish it for launch.

May be you could keep the 25$ at the beginning, then give discount to those who unlock badges? say 15$ if you unlock 10 badges, or something like that?

FF7 with Flash 10 is ok, unfortunately I tend to use Chrom

The only problem I have with this is the video player:

Videos don't look good when not in full screen mode.

When you click the full screen button (bottom right corner), it doesn't go to full screen mode. It shows you another button on top right corner which you must click to go into full screen mode.

In full screen mode, videos look good but, there are no controls beside the pause button.

BTW, everything else seems right with this site.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

https://teamtreehouse.com/subscribe/plans When you click the "Sign Up" link it takes you there. Either $25/month or $40/month. The cheapest you can get away with is $300/year.

Believe it or not I am actually glad they are charging subscriptions. For me businesses that charge are a sign of quality (within reason of course). I know I am getting tired of using "free" services that actually aren't free at all when you factor in the time I have to use to really extract value from them. I am just hoping Treehouse actually provides a service that makes a difference, i.e. someone can learn faster…

Thanks. We think it's important to be profitable so the service can be stable and long-lasting.
