New to memrise, unrelated auto-suggestions when adding words! Pls help

Hello,

I am new to memrise. Everything seems intuitive enough, so I went ahead and wanted to custom make a course, however if I type in new words completely unrelated entries are suggested. I feel stupid to ask on the forums but I am completely oblivious to what is going on or what I am doing wrong. Unfortunately I was unable to find the answer in a different way. Below a screen shot to explain:


Obviously I would expect memrise to pull “el perro” from the database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Again, I understand it’s probably a very simple mistake I am making, but I wasn’t able to figure it out with the help of FAQ’s, additional info on the internet and such. Help me to get my learning streak going! :frowning:

No, it not your mistake. The database has not been working properly since yesterday. We will just have to wait until it gets fixed I guess. :worried:

Oh I see. Thanks for the confirmation, guys. Good to know what’s up :slight_smile:

I just hope it does not take too long, I have 0 words left to lean…
still, hang in there devs

@Joshua
just out of curiosity: is there a eta? when will it get fixed ? because adding words now, means loosing all the mems, and I don’t wont that, but ,on the other hand, I don’t want stall for a week or so

I too am struggling with this issue. It’s also in the Chinese database, which is where I’m having the issue.

I see that now the search in the database works, but when I add a word from the database, the same word, another time , it gets counted twice.

Well, at least the database is working again.

Yes, I just ran into that problem too, but strangely enough not for all words. I wanted to move some words to other levels. Some words that I add from the database into another level are recognized as words that I have already learned. But other words although exact copies (in both definition and audio) are counted as new words to be learned.

Could you try searching again for the word perro.

Here’s the result I get from searching perro.

I’m seeing the opposite problem: No auto-suggestions at all when I start typing something in the new row at the bottom of a level. Which means I have no way at all of adding something that’s already in my database, to a level!

I posted that as a separate bug report:

Please do something! While you are doing we will search another software.

It works, the search in the database is back, at least it is for m.
