Deleted definitions still appearing as answers

I’m using a number of courses that I am making as I go along. Sometimes I will add a word and find that it’s similar to an older word, so I’ll change the old word’s definition to clearly distinguish between the two. However, when I go to learn, the previous definition will still pop up as a multiple choice answer! (Except of course now it’s a wrong answer.) This is very confusing. Words that I deleted from the database will also sometimes appear as answers. Are the courses working off a cached version of the database? Is there a way to make it refresh?

This seems to be an old problem, see here for example. I also have a number of ghost-entries that should have been deleted. I wonder whether this behaviour is on memrise’s to-do-list. For me its one of the more annoying bugs.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Deleted/old answers still appearing in tests

@Atikker, not to be picky, but, in my opinion, I think it would be better to not merge posts in cases like this. As it is, merging this author’s post into the other topic makes it look like she posted there without reading any of the previous information in the topic, and then people may reply to her in the other topic even though she may have all the information she needs now.

IMHO, I think it would be better to just post a link here to the other topic and then let the original poster follow the link and possibly post a followup question in that topic on their own.

Anyway, as I said, not trying to be picky – your work on these forums is appreciated :slight_smile:

@neocube… both threads are open, so you can read other posts from similar thread without using the search engine… that was my point… now you can move back and forth…

you have to agree that the headline of this post is the same as the other one…[quote=“neoncube, post:5, topic:9896”]
