September 5, 2007 at 2:09 AMMark, Try closing your browser and then opening it again. We have auto-login enabled now, but the Home page doesn't always update immediately for the current session. As far as I know, there's no way to batch mark lessons as studied. Sorry! We'll add that to the list of requested features.
