I came to the forum today after doing my German lesson to complain that my answers were being accepted without me clicking on the arrow, and to ask that the program be put back to the way it was yesterday. I’m glad I found you and others commenting on the change already. I don’t like the change because it make things go so fast that I cannot contemplate my answer and think about what I am doing. As a language learner, I need time to learn, or memorize, what I’m doing by thinking about the answer and committing it to memory, e.g. “I put der (die, or das) what is the ending of the noun that might help me decide in the future, are there any other clues that can help me remember the article. I’m having trouble remembering the correct spelling of this word. I got the word correct this time, let me study the word for a few seconds, to reinforce the correct spelling in my head.” These important seconds of reinforcing the correct word, sentence structure, articles, spelling etc. have been taken away from us. Please, Memrise, get rid of auto-accept and change the lessons back to the way they were yesterday.
This is horrible because it doesn’t seem to work on all words so it’s hard to get into a rhythm when some need enter and others don’t.
Please provide an option to disable it.
The APP wins and its way is being forced onto the website.
The testing on the website has gone from recall tests to a scrambled word game.
Auto-accepted answers have practically killed off Pinyin testing. Which makes most of my courses redundant.
And also where are the memes? When you make an error they no longer appear.
This is terrible. When I need to type a word in Korean, all the syllables appear below the text box mixed in with some wrong answers. I need to divert my vision to avoid getting hints.
Then when I type in the correct answer, Memrise corrects it before I hit enter, which gives me a clue when I get it wrong.
I don’t want easy mode. It will harm my learning.
post your opinions in here please…
@Hydroptere, How do you do links? I tried to make a link in another forum that was discussing this topic but couldn’t figure out how to do it.
I have also noticed this with my Korean lessons. On top of it giving away hints and correcting my mistakes for me, the new auto-enter feels awkward. In addition to that, I must force myself to keep my eyes above the new syllable box or else it feels like “cheating.” I disabled the tapping/jumbled option in my learning settings but the boxes persist.
I dislike this change and haven’t finished my lessons yet. I’m hoping for a fix or change before I continue.
Go to the other topic you want to have linked, copy its url (for specific posts you can right-click the notification that says how old a post is, like “3h”, at the top right of the post) and paste it as its own line in a post on another topic or post to link it.
Really disappointed that this has come back. I came to the forum after doing my fist set of words this morning. I want to actually learn to he words, and this change makes it much more difficult. Its a unfortunate import from the app – its why I don’t use the app. I am fine with it being default, but please just allow us to turn it off!
I went to the discussion that I wanted to link to another discussion and left clicked the number or hours it had been displayed. Then, I went to the discussion to which i wanted to give the link and right clicked and then clicked “paste”. Instead of the link showing, what I did copied the whole comment that was made by Bea Trisy. What did I do wrong?
I’m really happy with this change! It gives me time to think before I hit the key! 
Agree, auto-accept for the web-site is quite a bad idea, I’m unhappy with it. Hopefully I’ll be able to turn it off, but for now I couln’t find the way to do it in the preferences… really annoying.
I am english learner and I am disappointed with the recent changes. I remember I had a trouble with learning the word “cauldron” as I spelled it as “cauldrone” (with this extra “e” at the end of the word). Now with this auto-accept feature I wouldn’t even realize that I make mistake 
I found a workaround, how to avoid that irritating auto-accept: use capital letters, at least one in the phrase, or press Caps, then the phrase (fortunately!) won’t be accepted automatically, but will be accepted once you’ve pressed Enter.
Of course, it’s suitable for languages with latin or cyrillic (tested with English, Spanish and Macedonian) script and not suitible for Hebrew/Georgian/Arabic, since they don’t have capital letters. Didn’t test it for eastern languages.
Thank you very much! I just tried to start all my answers with a capital and now it won’t auto-accept anymore.
Ofcourse I still wish that they would make auto-accept optional, but at least this is a good temporary fix. Thanks again.
Personally love the new auto accept function.
Been making a lot of missess in japanese since there’s sometimes few words or few ways to write for the one asked so i can just type and if it doesn’t accept type new one.
Before i’d just auto write my first thought and press enter.
If devs ever decide to remove it cause some people don’t like please leave it for japanese, or as an option.
for that you should contact the course creator to introduce the synonyms (or what you think the synonyms are - if you speak about mixing the kanji and hiragana responses, i never had a pb, as the system tells me to give one or the other); for such problems auto-accept (synonyms, etc) is not suitable solution
Thing is there are different courses for different language levels, that said some of them really could do that…
Oh well, i’m cool as it is, it makes me think about alternatives before answering builds up connection between words.
As for kanji/kana had few fun ones where author asks for japanese - which as he describes commonly used version… thing is when you learn both hiragana and kanji you might answer kanji as a habit(since they’re mostly kanji) and get it wrong cause author decided hiragana is more common.
Then there’s stuff like present, which got me many times おくりもの／贈り物 and … プレゼント
there’s couple more, but they build up frustration cause they appear a lot and often you know them very well yet they keep on failing and reappearing…
Let’s not forget about mistyping the words 
those got me quite a few times as well, usually ones with n
Actually had to hit the forum for this one.
The auto-accept feature for Japanese is terrible when using Japanese input.
- Accepts answers immediately so you know that if you typed the wrong kanji and can just go correct it (wrong for learning)
- Accepts answers before the conversion is finished, meaning that when it hits the next screen, you have to delete the previous answer (which automatically populates).
The combination of these two takes memrise from being a useful site to being basically trash for my use case. A simple switch in the preferences (“correct answers are automatically accepted: Yes/No”) would make the site usable again.
I’ll check in to see if this glaring flaw is fixed, but it’s kind of sad since I have been using the site for years and recommending it to people. Might have to find some other place now.
