Confusing interface in code challenges

I've noticed that if you check and submit your work for a challenge task while in the preview mode, the next challenge task keeps you in the preview mode with no clear way to navigate back to the editor. In order to navigate back to to the editor, you currently have to click the "Preview" button again (which is confusing since you are already at the preview page) and then click the "Editor" button. This tripped me up for a minute or two, but I could imagine this UI issue being extremely frustrating for someone new to the site.

Even though you get used to this over time, it is a totally valid issue. This would make things much easier to navigate the challenges.

Chris,

Do you know the best way to get this kind of feedback back to the web team at Treehouse? I'd really like to be helpful without being a pain.

I would say to just contact treehouse technical support directly. It's the only way that you can get a direct line to the development team. Since it deals directly with the site functionality, I would think it would be given more importance than if it is listed in the forum. It's a concern you have so they shouldn't take it as you being a pain. I'm sure that out of over 12,000 users, that we are not the only ones who have noticed this problem.
