Also having an issue with this. I am learning beginning Japanese and I am at a point now where it is stringing together long sentences with 15-20 hiragana characters. By the time it even finishes playing the audio for me, I have lost almost half of my time. I am then expected to read 4 (sometimes even 8!) variations of the sentence and pick out the correct one in less than 10 seconds. It seems unrealistic and is making it quite hard to progress through my lessons.
I would very much prefer not to have to install a third party script into my browser just to be able to use primary features if possible.
I’m not a techie person by any stretch, but I did the same as @CutePotato. I just changed “http” to “https” in the script and the timer disable function works fine for me again in Firefox.
I hope everyone can get their various scripts fixed soon with minimal frustration and allow their focus to once again be on learning new things, not playing script detectives.
Changing to https worked for me too, although don’t be an idiot like me and forget to change your input settings before typing ‘s’ and hitting save lol.
well, in my firefox, editing my scripts by adding the s in the domains seems to screw them up completely…it does not work, I suspect they made some changes to the UI (other than the https…)
This is off-topic here as the fix I suggested does work for this script. If you like help, please post your userstyle in the thread you started so people can look at it.
Oh just get rid of the timer already! I can time myself if I want to. The timer doesn’t take the size of the problem into account and ruins what could be good learning experiences by turning them into some kind of quizz wack-a-mole. It’s poorly implemented, and currently the main reason I consider going back to anki.
Thanks, I so I saw. I’m—however—not particularly fond of running user scripts to solve basic issues with a site; the site should have solved it themselves to begin with. It’s like gaming companies relying on thier fanbase to come up with community patches, or letting dad do your homework—it might get the job done, but it’s not how it should have been done in the first place.
Weird. A friend tried the app and they have atimer. Only gave 10 mins I think? Then when it was done it said they had to wait 3 hours. It’s the newest update July 7th. I haven’t updated it myself yet since I am not sure if it will cause the same problem
That does sound truly “weird”. The version number I referenced is the latest update from yesterday, and I never saw one while I was using it this morning (and I never saw one on any previous iOS version in my years as a Memrise user). Even the timer on the website does not behave in the manner you cite. That would be truly “weird”.
@MemriseMatty or @Joshua ~ can either of you interject here and offer some insight from the Memrise-side, as to the existence of a timer on the iOS app.
