Tracks locked?!

Ive been on this website for months, started with basic HTML/CSS and have worked my way up to PHP and MySQL. I know they made some changes to the site, but I finally get some time to get some tracks done, and I cant cause I have to repeat HTML/CSS?! This makes me wanna cancel my account. I dont have time to go back and spend hours watching videos Ive already seen and take quizzes and code challenges Ive already passed.

In the same position here. I think you can still click on the locked course to take it as a standalone course, but its not part of a track. Frustrating.

I really hope a moderator or one of the teachers comes in this thread and see this. I was really happy with this site up until now.

Matt Trask Melissa Taylor For the moment to quickly go on with the work on your Tracks please select the next Item/project from the Library. There isn't a difference between finishing an item/project in Track or Library "mode" - you will get the badge(s) for it.

Also you might want to have a look at Tracks, reimagined as this matter has been discussed there, too.

Matt Trask - You make a really good point.

For people how have completed prerequisite courses before that course was retired, should get credit for that and have the relevant section of their track unlocked.

Tagging Daniel Lewis on this.
