@Hydroptere - Thank you! I am checking out Cerego and learnwitholiver now.
Let’s make a list of alternatives to memrise, and their pros and cons, here:
(and let’s keep following this thread for any updates about the commas bug)

We need an open-source version of Memrise…I’d happily dedicate at least a few hours a week to it.

great idea but very slim chances
Well you know it seems most of the logic is in the javascript front-end, so it actually wouldn’t be that hard to do a new version that interfaced with the existing backend. But someone would need to have a fair chunk of time to dedicate to it initially.

Now there are even more problems… And this time they even took the time to put a message on the website.

Well, if you want to export the data you see in the screen you can use:
https://www.import.io/
If you look carefully, you will find the option to do a batch, not just Level by Level, which makes the copy of complete course something that even a child can do.
I use it all the time to backup my courses or to copy courses from others and adapt to my needs.
Now I’m considering migrating my stuff to Quizlet. It is not perfect but at least I will be able to keep learning.
In case you create some solution please let us know.

It looks like commas are working again. Except for:
Test = A, B
- A (works)
- B (works)
- A B (works)
- B A (does not work)

here we go again, the comma bug is back… (A,… )
Although memrise doesn’t seem to have said anything about it, the comma bug sees conclusively fixed. I just tested it in a couple of course where I know where the commas are. I don’t know when it was fixed because I haven’t used memrise much in the past couple of days (because of this and other debilitating bugs), but the comma bug was still present on the weekend and seems to be gone now.
The parentheses bug is still there 
Fortunately parentheses aren’t quite as widely used as commas. But it’s still definitely making it necessary to avoid certain courses for a while.

Yes, we just noticed that.
I can’t believe we are again with the same problem.
I was getting the review in order and now I have to wait for a fix?? I mean, the bug was fixed not even one week ago…

and ‘/’ in possible answers is also not working anymore.
/ had a similar use as the comma. Maybe a bit different, because the slash was mainly used to show 2 different ways of writing something, and the comma separated 2 different meanings for the same word.
One or the other answer was correct, but now you have to type both to have the “correct” answer.

It seems the only foolproof way is to put items separated by commas and hyphens as individual alternatives, which can be hidden if you want, using the underscore before the words.
As far as phrases or sentences with commas they could be written as hidden alternatives without the comma.
This is what I am now going to do with any new courses I make and gradually with previous courses I made or am supporting.
This would also work with the synonym column.
I know this would be very time consuming though!
(it also relies on course creators who may not be active)
