Upon clicking on my username, next to where it says "forum", I saw a couple of settings that I don't understand. Essentric flavor and alpha features? Can anyone tell me what they are? I have alpha features on, but my essentric flavor is off ( I guess don't have any flavor, haha)

oh yeah, and after clicking on your username, you have to click on "more", to the right of your avatar

Eccentric flavor gives you original recipes at the bottom of each page, and makes the success messages you get in the Flash window while practicing much weirder.

Alpha features means you're our guinea pig and will be the first to experience new things we're working on when they're reading for testing, like the vocab redesign.

Thanks Nick !!
