it just went down again with some 77 items… I don’t take memrise official courses (I just play with the Japanese and English for chinese speakers)
the last weeks this items counter constantly “ate” my progress … i “lost” hundreds of items, in fact more than 1000 this last month…(i’ve done in some of my private courses more than 1000 new items, and i’ve been learning in a chinese pod course some 400 items at least etcetc)
edit: since I first noticed this issue some 10 days ago, I started writing down the number of items learned, don’t tell me I did not pay attention, please, you keep my items counter down artificially
the so called “words learned” counter now - that one that tells one how many items/words one learned. It keeps going down: after registering an increase immediately after learning new items, the second day or after a couple of hours, goes back again…
screenshots of my words counter ? my dashboard! I don’t want to see it happening again, but i’ll try to remember to take screen shots…
“items” used to be the “old” term for this one on memrise - but as some not-so-bright users did not (have the patience to) understand what “items” was about, the team decided to change it to “words” (which is silly… especially if you learn phrases/sentences/symbols etc)
