@BeaTrisy, I still am getting synonyms marked wrong. “Answers from other columns are no longer marked as incorrect”
Also, could you please actually comment on a couple of posts here so we’re not left in the dark? I truly do not understand how you take money from users but ignore the lion’s share of their comments.
Like from @TinyCaterpillar’s post,
"1: Pressing escape or clicking ‘See answer’ after correctly answering a question in review treats the item as if it was answered incorrectly for the remainder of the review session. This was not the case before, and it makes it extremely inconvenient to access the extra information in that page.
2: The color-coded question mark icons shown for tests all seem to be the same purple color. I have been relying on these quite a bit to easily distinguish between the different testing directions in my courses, and have been making sure that they all match up for each of the courses that I create, so this is pretty disorienting.
4: Items are being introduced in learning sessions much more quickly than before. Previously, it would introduce them very gradually; introduce the first two, testing me a couple times on those, introduce the third, test me on that, along with the first two, before moving onto the fourth, etc. Now it’s almost pouring them all out at once. There are still tests between (most of) them, but nowhere near as many as before, and I’m even seeing many introduced back to back throughout the session. This makes it very difficult to keep up with the learning session for me, as I’m being given more items to juggle before I’ve properly grasped the previous ones, and I can safely say that it’s been having a negative impact on my recall for the items later on."
Also, is what I and others have described, “Say I get the word “dog” wrong. Before, what would happen is if you continued to get it wrong, the review session would end. Now, you have to type “dog” correctly ONCE for the session to end. That means if you’re stuck on a twenty-word sentence, the session will never end unless you type the sentence perfectly. This was a change from 25 days ago when we started this thread.” A glitch or a change?
And what about what @Wuxian asked,
“Hi @daniel.zohar, are you saying that the algorithm has been changed so that there are less tests for a particular word after answering incorrectly? Are you working to change the algorithm to be more like the app? Staying with memrise for me revolves heavily around the website algorithm not being the same as the app so I’d really appreciate knowing this ahead of time vs. a month down the road when a large block of words seem to not have “stuck”.
Also, if it means anything, I’d heavily suggest asking power and heavy users to test new algorithms before implementing changes. Definitely the kind of thing that could be discussed as a lot of people rely on memrise.”
Just comment! How can you not see the frustration of your members when we’ve been having issues since the update on August 17, and the staff has barely responded to us?
Could you maybe have ONE DAY, JUST ONE DAY of the week devoted to answering user questions? Even just a, “We’re not considering that change at this time,” would be more appreciated than showing your indifference by ignoring us until your site completely blows up from an update two days ago.
I’ll update my post to point out both methods. Thanks!
