Can't complete sessions with "Extra Credit"

Please the details here http://screencast.com/t/mXsz0d7TBBi

I want to continue next stage, but in the previous session, I finished all courses only left "Extra Credit", and the Treehouse website think I didn't complete the stage and don't allow me to start next session.

Thanks.

hmmm yeah you dont get credit for extra credit so whether you do it or not you should complete the stages/courses if you have done all the steps. so something is not right. It looks like the course is not being ungreyed in the track when it should be colorized when its complete. send an email to help@teamtreehouse.com and report your bug. If this is not letting you advance in your track switch to another track, then on the track you were wanting to continue select explore track and it should let you select any course from the track and take it off track. alternatively, you could also just select the courses using the library

You don't need to complete the extra credit items to advance. You don't get achievements or points for doing them but you're encouraged to try them to get more from the courses you take. :)

if you look at his screencast you will see that he has completed all the necessary steps in the course, but its not being marked as completed/ungreyed in the track. so something is not right

Yes, but all my stage with "Extra Credit" shows "incomplete", so I can't normally move forward. According to @Stone Preston , this might be a bug?

the extra credit will always be grey/incomplete. there is no way for it to ever be completed. however, since you have done all the steps (not including the extra credit) the course should be marked as completed and colorized in the track view, but its not.

Stone Preston Thanks! I will email this to help@treehouse.com to report this bug. =D
