On one of the courses I look after, one of the columns accepts tapping answers but typing is NOT ticked.
Yesterday when watering, most (if not all) the questions were tapping questions. (Other times I sometimes get pairing from 6 or 8 choices)
Anyway, I got one tapping question wrong and the next time I was asked to TYPE the whole phrase.
Thinking the typing must be ticked, I checked the column and it was NOT ticked. So it must be a bug.
Incidentally, when will Contributors be allowed to un-tick and other functions (eg rename columns) that only Creators can do?
Last time I looked, it said Contributors can do everything a Creator can except delete a course.
Hi @MemriseMatty this is still happening.
Namely, after an incorrect tapping answer, I am given a typing test even though it is not set up as that (ie unticked)!
I am using the pure MemRise web facility with the inbuilt testing options (not some user-script).
Have you seen this thread too:
@xvg11
There are quite a few reports today about this same problem,
Interesting I seem to ONLY be getting tapping tests in the first instance (when the answer is three or more words)not a mixture with pairing (selecting the right matched answer from 6 or 8 alternatives).
We are aware of some changes that have arisen, which have affected some courses on Memrise, and hope to have more information on this soon. We have a team who will be posting an update on the community forum outlining the current situation regarding typing tests / tapping tests.
Interesting. My main grumble with tapping tests (on the web version) is that, since the most recent (unannouced/unexplained) change, once you have tapped the correct sequence your answer is accepted automatically without the need to click on “Enter”. You can therefore just keep re-selecting the sequence until your answer turns green (or you get timed out).
Also interesting. Have you seen a more recent list of what a contributor can and can’t do than the one in the Course Creation area of the Knowledge Base? That’s one I still refer back to. Is it out of date?

I suspect you mean this one (which I had not seen before):
A course contributor can: create levels, add items/words to levels/databases, correct errors, respond to course users, record audio voices, upload audio voices, upload images, delete audio files, delete images.
course contributor can’t: delete a course, delete a database, add a column into the database, rename a database or column, change testing styles and database options.
HOWEVER
I was referring to this one (below).
If you go to add a contributor to a course (in edit mode) you are greeted with this message (which is the only one I had seen and is where one would expect to get clear instructions):
Adding a contributor grants them full edit access on this course (except only the creator may delete the course). Contributors can also add/remove other contributors.
So they do not agree and that statement (within the course) is not correct.
Incidentally this quote (from the Knowledge Base):
respond to course users,
was obviously written when courses had their own (automatic) Course Forum.
I hadn’t seen the one you were referring to as I haven’t added a contributor recently. Clearly, there’s an inconsistency and, from your OP, it sounds like (at least some of) the restrictions listed in the Knowledge Base entry are still being applied.
Hi @joshua, I wanted to report that when doing a course (this morning), that does NOT require typing or tapping it has suddenly started asking me to tap words in sequence (from a selection) despite both being un-ticked.
Has there been an update or change to cause this bug to re-appear?
