Course stopped accepting typed answers [Only partially fixed]

I was doing my review on a Japanese course that requires typing kanji, and in the middle of a review session, it suddenly started marking all typed answers. Regardless of typing the correct answer, it was highlighted as yellow, then taken to the word page. Typing the correct answer on that screen was not accepted, and the arrow to progress did not appear.

I tried exiting out of the course and starting again a few times, even restarting the browser, but the problem persists. All non-typing question types (ie. multiple choice, etc.) work fine.

I have the same thing happening with all of my Japanese courses as well.

Chrome newest version and Win 7 if that is of any use.

Yep. Within the past hour this occurred. I am doing Chinese, and for some reason every 1 character card accepts a typed answer, but every 2 character card gives me yellow for a correct answer. Please, test the updates before you make changes.

Yup, just got this as well with one of my Chinese language courses in the last hour. The online platform was accepting typed answers just fine, then suddenly it wasn’t.

Using Firefox on Windows 10.

Yeah, just started in my Japanese courses. But only for typed kanji answers. Hiragana and katakana are marked as correct.

Actually, it’s marking my kanji answers as yellow, not wrong. But still, I can’t review the bulk of my courses if I can’t type kanji.

After last week, what a nice treat.

Could someone provide me an course and also some examples?

Thank you

That’s the course I’m working on at the moment. For any piece of vocab with an answer longer than a single character, a correct typed answer is flagged as yellow/partially correct rather than green/correct.

I am experiencing the same problem. OS Windows 8 and Firefox

Reviewed word: Walk
typed in あるく and selected 歩く kanji from quick menu.
Typed word was accepted as partially wrong. (yellow highlighting)

It is happening on all of these Japanese courses that I’m currently doing, so it’s not a course specific thing.

I’m a new user and can’t link anymore but it’s happening to all other courses too.

Every written answer ends up marked as wrong or partly correct. Afterwards you’re taken to the word info page and you’re unable to advance anymore no matter how correctly you type the answer, see below for screenshot. To add, all multiple choice reviews are working just fine.

The post by @namste shows exactly what is happening. The course that I was working on when it happened was

From the responses in this topic, it would appear to be happening with all Chinese characters (kanji, hanzi, and I would also guess hanja).

Here’s a screenshot from another course where a correct review gets marked partly correct. The same is happening to every course I am taking. All my courses are in Japanese but @wafflekopf is doing Chinese so the problem seems to be related to characters.

I wrote かんえい 官営 for answer and it was marked yellow for partially correct.

Yep, that’s exactly it. Yellow/partially correct for all correct kanji answers.

In my case every typed answer is marked red

I can only speak for Chinese courses, but single character answers (where you type Chinese) are accepted, but multi-character answers are marked yellow unless you type the pinyin with spaces in between the words. And the comma problem is back when you type English words as answers. Quite frustrating.

Edit: I might be mistaken about the comma issue, but it definitely happened with one word. And the system gets confused about certain word alternatives. E.g. - “heart’s blood” can be written as “xin xue” or “xin xie” (both of which are 心血) - but the system only accepts “xin xie” - and again only when written in pinyin.

Edit 2: Can confirm I do not have the same issue in Korean language courses.

Also affected by this bug. Makes the site pretty much unusable. Any way to know when this is fixed?

They applied some fix to some other issue around the same time this started to happen, I think it may have broken something. @Joshua is investigating it now, I believe.

Same here. Previous successful review session was three hours ago.Just now i was able to do 3 reviews right, but then this “thing” started to happen. I was thinking maybe it is this " comma" thing again, but apparently it happens even to words with just one meaning.

Thanks everyone, the developers have been notified of the issue.

Hopefully, will be able to deploy a fix for this soon.

At this point, I’d rather you deploy refunds.
