This is quite annoying. We really need to be able to disable the timer without the use of third party scripts : )

I just added “s” to “http” as you said and this is working fine! :+1:

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.

Hi @Azouras! There is a script for turning off timer

34

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.

What’s really annoying is now iOS has a timer!!!

@Mangozzz ~ where are you seeing a timer on the iOS app ?

I have never encountered one, and I just spent the last few minutes learning/reviewing and using the Difficult Words feature on the app.

I am on version 2.2.28 (2813). What version are you seeing a timer on ?

37

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.

Thank you.

This is a screenshot from the app @pdao

Interesting! Like @pdao, I’m not seeing that timer on my iOS app (version 2.2.28 July 7th - on iPad).

The green banner on your screenshot suggests it was taken during a planting/learning session. I’ve looked at both planting/learning and watering/reviewing sessions, but no timer visible.

Maybe they are trialling it only on some servers?

@Mangozzz ~ This is both “interesting” and “weird”. Like @alanh ~ I too am not seeing this timer. But maybe, this is an instance like the logging out issue I encountered with the previous app version (which I reported in a recent thread, but no one else seemed to see it) where only some users encounter an issue. How or why that is, I have no idea.

@MemriseMatty and @Joshua were both tagged on this thread, and both work at Memrise (neither @alanh or myself do). Hopefully one of them can chime in as to what this issue is, and what it means (is it a bug, or a pre-maturely visible “feature”, etc.).

Memrise is currently closed for the weekend, so it would be Monday at the earliest before they can respond.

Can you verify that your friend is currently on the latest iOS version. (The version number is visible on the Setttings/About Memrise tab, on the bottom of the screen). The version I am using is 2.2.28 (2813). (You know that is going to be the first question Memrise will ask you if they contact you).

Thanks for reporting this issue. Let’s see how Memrise responds to it.

Edit: FWIW, My personal opinion is that I hope they don’t put a timer on the app (either iOS or Android), at this time or in the future.
