Where did difficulty go?

On Treehouse http://teamtreehouse.com/home page previously I was able to see difficulty of courses what I choose to study. But since new design come over it is replaced with javascript to start/resume button. I can still see it, if javascript loads slow I just don't understand why this is removed. All right, it was fine, I was still able to see difficulty on http://teamtreehouse.com/library page in beginning. But last time I checked that, it is not there as well. I also send the message to help@teamtreehouse.com, but they couldn't answer why it is hidden.

It helps me decide which course I should study next. I can't be the only one.

It looks like references to difficulty have been removed from courses and the library. Which to me can only mean that something is being worked on behind the scenes.

Courses are designed for instruction and learning but where needed instructors generally put a list of prerequisite courses to take before doing that one, Those tend to be more difficult than others as they assume more knowledge. :-)

Now, when I bookmark my planned courses to my home page there is no way I can organise them. I can not make my private track in which order to chose future courses. Difficulty was at least something what give me understanding which one I should chose next. And it is not like it's not there, but it is just hidden dynamically with JavaScript. If I refresh page several times I can understand which one is for beginners and which for advanced but I don't think that I should do it like that. Is there any way to get an answer from somebody who know why this is happening?

There's not much else I can say really about where they've gone and if they'll be coming back. Maybe drop a message to Treehouse Support, on the bottom most link on your screen and I'm sure they'll be able to tell you more. :-)

Thank You!

Actually, a quick look at the library tells me that the the difficulty tags appear to be back.

Yes they are there, except for your bookmarked courses. You can see difficulty only if You haven't selected it already.
