Probable bug: "ghost" words in Russian I course or the mystery of the missing lesson 12

[fvzvnf]

Hello there,

I’m having a strange bug in my Russian I course. Basically even though I finished the entire course, it tells me that I have 6 more words to learn:

Notice that no words have been ignored but the lessons skip from 11 to 13 with nothing in between. EDIT: I just noticed that a few others are missing: 2, 6 and 9. That’s really odd, surely there aren’t only 5 words overall in those 4 missing lessons?

Even stranger (and maybe related), Memrise always tells me that I have 8 words to review (visible in the screenshot as well) but it doesn’t actually let me review them:

(Notice that I have both the “old” Russian I course and the new one, could it be the cause of the problem?)

If I click the “global” review button at the top, next to the language selection dropdown, I get an error:

I get the same error if I click the “learn new words” button on the finished-but-not-really Russian I course as well. It makes sense, there are actually no words to review or learn.

If I click on the “Classic review” button on the Russian I course it starts a review for 95 words, so basically it does what it’d do if I had no words ready to review yet by picking other words from the lesson. Why 95 words though? Normally it should be 100 with my settings. More ghosts I guess:

So in other words there’s something really odd going on. Since this is a brand new course maybe it’s been modified while I was doing it and something became incoherent?

If somebody knows how to fix that I’d appreciate it, it’s not a huge deal but it makes quite a mess on my Memrise page.

Hi @fvzvnf

This is a known bug and is scheduled to be fixed. You can follow the subject through the link:

[WEBSITE-975] Completed courses show up as un-finished (Web / Mobile)

Description: Deleted grammar items are being counted in courses, making them impossible to “finish”. Status: Unresolved Please Note: If you are experiencing this issue we can confirm the course is finished, but due to the removed grammar items (on our end) it may show as un-finished. We would suggest moving on to the next course in the series while we attempt to resolve the issue.

It’s the same situation I mentioned earlier to another user. I will put below the previous post:

@Milamy

Recently, Memrise has released new versions of some courses (particularly courses 1 & 2 of various languages, and, in the case of the Japanese course, 0 & 1 & 2). You can read about it in the topic: New Year, New Courses!

At first there were language courses for British English speakers, but now they have already released for American English speakers as well.

After you complete the new courses (1 or 2), the course shows as incomplete, missing a few words (if you are only using web version ). But the correct one is to show it is complete. Because of that, the “learn” button remains active, and if you press it, it may show: “Whoops! Could not load this session”.

This is happening because these new courses have grammar mode (which is in beta : see here ), but grammar mode is currently only available in the app. Grammar mode contains some new words too, which can only be accessed through the app. So even learning all the words in the web version, the program will show that the course is incomplete.

The levels that can not be seen in the web version are the levels that have grammar mode in the app. While grammar mode is not created for web version, we need to deal with it. Then, it will probably be fixed over time. Just skip and continue your learning

Oooh, okay that makes sense. Thank you for clearing that up for me.
