I would love to see a car repair or enhancement contest. Not a lot of vehicle repair or car modification instructables. maybe even just a "how to maintain a vehicle" contest? basic maintenance can keep a car/bike running long past it's prime

you didn't have any class progress, so it wasn't showing up even though you enrolled. i went ahead and made some progress for you (read thru the first lesson to the comments) so it would show up in all the right places for you. it now shows up on your member page as expected.

as a logged in user you will notice an ad free experience on our site. And in regards to some of the ads being flash based, it's our ad provider that fills the adspots with relevant content for the user on our site, not all of them are flash based, i'd say the easiest fix here is just to login as you browse the site, ads are removed everywhere for all logged in users.

this has been observed as a connectivity issue on the client side. i have to throttle my browser down to nearly dialup speeds to reproduce. and we don't have an easy fix to deploy. I suggest if your experiencing this regularly to let the page cully finish loading before you start to browser the page, even scrolling. the class pages are rich with large format images, and this can really wreck havock if it's trying to load all the images for you while still loading things like the page session to know if your a logged in user etc.

hello, and sorry to hear your having trouble with our download PDF feature.while we are transitioning to the new format pdf generation, there is a wrinkle with how some browsers are downloading the files. For the time being, you can append a ".pdf" extension to the file that downloads without an extension to get a functional pdf. Soon this will not be necessary in any browser as we are working to replace ones that are able to download like you are seeing, with the new ones that will download with proper extensions in all browsers, all the time.

worth noting that once you have the tool to distill with, there comes a knowledge requirement for how not to injure yourself with the produced spirits. Do your research and learn everything you can about the art of distilling before using this contraption.

the apps are defunct, we don't support them anymore. we highly suggest using the enhanced mobile web experience for all your mobile devices.
View Topic »long story short: your classes only show up when you have completed something within the class, like a lesson completion (the lesson header will have a progress marker on it, try getting that to show 100%)The classes that aren't showing up on your /classes page are the ones that have no progress markers completed. a class you are enrolled in but have not yet started making progress within will show you as enrolled on the /class page for the class in question. so just hit the class landing page of interest, and see if your enrolled if you have not yet made any progress on the lessons.in a test, i went ahead and made some progress in the 3d printing class with your user. after completing a progress milestone, the class showed up on your /classes page, and it had the correct progress marke...

the classes will not show up until you have made progress in a lesson.for example, www.instructables.com/member/KiranV2/classes/ as of currently has one class showing, and it is a class that is marked IN_PROGRESS, while the rest of the 10 classes have no progress in them, and are therefore not shown to hide the zero values here on this page
