Bugs in the New (June 17) Interface

The import link only shows me a list of pages I have already imported, and gives no option for me to import my own as before. Has access to this feature been changed? It was working fine before the interface update. I tried deleting an already imported lessons but it makes no difference.

@ idragon - There is a strange bug in Import if you have Titles selected under View in the sidebar, the Import Lesson and Import Collection links aren’t visible. If you change your view to Lessons or Collections, you will see those links again. We are working to fix the error but in the meantime, you can import by changing your view.

@mark Cheers! That’s done it

I’d just like to say that I really love the ability to sort the library by number of unknown words. I was really hoping for this update, so thank you so much for doing it.

Just one small thing. If I go to the library front page and hover over a lesson, sometimes the information box about the lesson (the one that appears automatically when you mouse-over the lesson name) flashes on and off repeatedly if you have your mouse too close to the information box. I kind of prefer the old way of clicking on a lesson bringing you to the option of opening the collection or the lesson only, rather than the mouse-over feature. What do other people think?

It’s kind of difficult to explain, I hope you understand what I mean!

@SanneT and aybee77 - It appears that you have to unblock popup windows for LingQ in order to see the flashcard window. All browsers may block it otherwise. Do you also have this problem with the dictionary popups like if you check Google Translate from the LingQ widget?

robg,

It may just a matter of getting used to it. Previously you would open up the preview and this would often take quite a while to open. Then if you just chose the lesson, you would have to wait again for the lesson to open.

Now you just open the lesson in one step. However, once you have the lesson open it is easy enough to go to the Collection, so really it is the same number of steps to the collection, but faster to open a lesson if that is all you want to do. At least that is how it appears to me.

Thanks, Mark! That did it for me. I was on my iPad, and that never occurred to me. And now I can use wordreference dictionary.

I have recognized the same problem as robg with popup windows that open unintentionally while I hover with my mouse over something. It slows me down. But as robg said it is only a small problem.

I have this problem on the friends search page when I’m looking for new learners of German. Than I open all the names that appears new for me. I think especially on the friends search page it would be better to have the information of the pop up in a spreadsheet. There is so much space on the right site of the page that it would be easy to add this information there.

By the way, do you think about to show if I’ve just “friended” another member? It would make things easier for me :slight_smile:

I miss the email center on the welcome page. It was a possibility to have access to the latest reports that tutors send to someone. If for some reasons the email doesn’t work, students could find the report there.

What I really like is the lot of filters that you’ve integrated. They are really great and helpful. Thank you!

Thanks, Mark. I am duly unblocked now and all is working fine.

(I didn’t have any trouble with the dictionary popups before, I quickly checked it before I unblocked the LingQ popup.)

I have the same problem as SanneT and aybee77 about the flashcards.
I read the Mark’s post above, but I could not understand it well enough
for my poor English and the skill of PC.

" you have to unblock popup windows for LingQ in order to see the flashcard window."

Could anyone tell me what I should do to “unblock popup windows”?
Thank you in advance.

I totally understood what you discussed!
Sorry for asking you the thing which is very obvious to everyone.

@cherry, popups could be blocked by your browser, you should unblock them i.e.deactivate Pop-up-Blocker. Look in the setting of browser. Which browser do you use?

I’m not able to make new friends. When I click on the “Add to friends” nothing happens. Maybe it is because I have to many friends? Maybe I’ve more than 1,000 friends and there is an buffer overflow or something like this?

@junair

Thank you for your kind reply.
I have just got what to do!

Anyway LingQ is the best place to learn real life situations in English!

The speed of the site has become notably higher. That is really great improvement. Thanks.

@VeraI - It looks like there is the odd error with the friending action. It should not be related to the number of friends you have. We are working on it.

Hi Mark, sometimes it works. I cannot see the point why it works or not work.
