The following sentence: "XXX reports that this week's training, which focused on XXX, is complete",
is wrong, because it appears just when the training have started but not when it is complete.
Today, the training started and this sentences was displayed. However, it took more than half an hour to be completed. Therefore, someone who just looked at this sentence may have changed his training before it was finished.

I'm in the U.S. and training hasn't happened according to the usual schedule -- it's 8 a.m. now and it should have completed about two hours (one hour?) ago.

The site seems somewhat slow the past 2 days.

I'm sure that is the reason.

Normally training processing doesn't take that long, and there is no need to separate the trainer's text from the actual training.

But maybe, if this can be easely done, the command to send the line to the site could be moved to the end of the calculations.

(unless ofcourse the line is send to the site at a given time rather than being part of the actual trainings-update, but I highly doubt that).

I understood that this line was added to avoid that people change the training type before it was really finished. So, it should work well particularly when training is slow or delayed. The rest of the time is useless.
Anyway, if it is OK like this (because when training starts, changes in training types would not affect it), then it should say that "training has just started", instead of "training is complete" to be accurate, although I know that for some people, accuracy is just an useless esthetic consideration.

Well, it does save dozens of BB-mails and forum posts every week from inexperienced or otherwise confused users saying "I didn't get a pop, therefore training is broken!". For the people whose job it is to answer those, the "training complete" message is not useless.

I wouldn't realy put it that way. But everyone has to make choices somethimes...

for example: you can choose between winning 100 bucks, or 1000 bucks. chances are big you would choose the 1000 bucks.
Does this tell anyone else you find winning 100 bucks is not fun? no... exactly. If you didn't have to choose, you'd probably would be happy if you won 100 bucks. ;)

So, don't think someone finds something useles, just because they didn't opt to put efforts in it (yet). ;)
