Could you please let us know which browser and any other info that might be useful, because the enter key absolutely does advance to the next page.

and they’ve done it
this horrifying “new version” is compulsory now … it is a terribly ugly barely functional version, that users have not asked for
pity
edit: and it is so “bug-ridden” (no pun)

Argh. 
It’s so yellow and empty.

This sort of greyed out and check-boxed avatars is rather bad. For many people visual component is more important than brief description, it’s easier to navigate using pictures than words. It was already bad with nonsensical pictures instead of flags, now it’s much worse.
Also, why there are 6 digit numbers without comma or point in the scoreboard now? Does not make sense. Two clicks to see your stats is not an improvement (you needed none before).

Great, your site sucks now. Thanks a lot for making learning harder for everyone!
Seriously, we NEED a notes function. If you’re taking away mems, at least add a way for the user to leave themselves notes on each word. BEFORE YOU TAKE THE MEMS AWAY, IDEALLY. My progress will SIGNIFICANTLY slow down if I can’t tell myself why a word (thinking specifically of compound words in German, but also IN GENERAL) is the way that it is. How could you possibly not understand how important this is? My flashcards are literally more useful now. Flip the switch, put it back until you have added AT LEAST this feature. Otherwise, you are scammers, and I look forward to dragging your site and your company on every web forum I use where I interact with language learners. And I use a lot - Learn with Stories, German with Laura (and the gigantic fb community associated with her courses), goodreads, Italki, HiNative, Duolingo, Your Daily German - I will spam these places, I do not care. I am small, but I am loud. And mad, very, very mad.

Have just been force-moved to the new version. Jesus, what a disappointment…
…and this after having been compelled to use it for about 30 minutes. I shudder to think of what nice new surprises I will discover in a bit…
Even visually, for no typing tests, the visibility of the answer you choose is at a bare minimum. I missed the right answer at least 10 times because of this…
Could at least some skin configuration leeway be given to users, for better visibility, @MemriseSupport, @James_g_memrise !??
Not to mention the loss (again!) of script compatibility, and the general feel of something that seems designed for bling-loving idiots, not language learners…

I’m using the current version of Firefox.
To clarify the behavior a bit – Enter does work when the text box is selected on a typing test, but does not advance to the next test after checking the answer.
Also, I realize pissy posts are possibly counterproductive, sorry. It just felt like a slap in the face logging in and seeing this forced on me. Please, for the love of all learning, add a flippin’ notes feature. It is necessary, seriously. Add a notes feature. Please add a notes feature. Please provide SOME way to help us remember words, even if it isn’t shareable. Come on, please. Add a notes feature. Add a notes feature. Give us a way to remember words. That is the point of this site, right? Helping people reMEMber things? Please. Seriously, please. I can’t stress enough please.

Hi @James_g_memrise and @BenWhately,
I’m late to this conversation, but wanted to give some brief feedback regarding the future of UGC courses as both a creator and frequent user.
Reading through this thread, I am reassured that you have no plans to do away with UGC courses, but intend to make them part of Memrise’s future direction.
I do appreciate there are issues with quality and many courses with very few or no users. That said, it’s important to note (as I mentioned at the meeting you organised in the office a few years ago) that there is a major issue with actually locating good courses - there is often no correlation between quality and number of users (and consequent ranking within a language category) - an old course might have thousands of users simply because it was developed years before a much higher-quality new course, which disincentivises course creators.
Moreover, obscure languages inevitably have few users, but to my mind the greatest appeal of this site is its eclectic range of courses, encompassing minority languages for which there are very few available resources online.
I also have a query about audio. I understand you are still developing your new vision of the site, but would like to know if you intend to retain good-quality current course audio? I have paid native speakers to record all the words for my 5000-word Greek course - I would be devastated if this is replaced by lower-quality generic audio from a database akin to Forvo.
I’m aware that whenever you update the site, you’re often faced with a barrage of criticism here, so really appreciate your continued effort to engage with user feedback on this forum.

You are absolutely right that’s not working on firefox. It does work on chrome though if you would like to switch in the meantime, i shall make a bug report for you on this.

I’ve just been forced over to the new version too.
I might be looking in the wrong place but how do I tell I’ve reached my daily goal? It used to come up with the days and your streak on the home page, which was really encouraging and now I can’t even tell I’ve scored enough points… arghhhhh!

If you refer to the dashboard then look at the tiny little circle. I added the colour-coding to my screenshot that Memrise refuses to create in order to help us to easier distinguish things …

No, it does not. It is still just as broken as it was a month ago
Thankyouuu!
Thankyou so much! I miss the old version - it’s only been a few hours…

Hi @Eltaurus the enter key is not working on Firefox, but is definitely working on Chrome. I will raise a bug if one does not already exist, but Firefox represents 2.61% of users so it won’t go to the top of the priority queue. I also have a vague memory that we’ve tried to solve this before and it was a problem with firefox that prevented us from resolving it.

Hey @James_g_memrise there is something I’ve been worried about but haven’t seen anyone asking about. Will study groups still be available or you guys have plans to change it somehow? I’m asking because I usually use them to store sets of courses I plan on using later, so it would be good to know if this feature is going to be removed, this way I can bookmark the courses in other way and not lose the results of all the searching I did.

There are no planned changes to Groups.

This is inexcusable.
I’ve created courses for my students with thousands of words, and worked over the years to ensure that each word in each course is attached to a high quality mem. For Memrise to decide to remove those mems, to remove thousands of hours of conscientious work and essentially cripple our courses, that we created, is completely unacceptable.
If this decision is not reversed, neither I nor my students will ever use Memrise again.
