Updates, Tips and Known Issues

Vera,

Thank you for the link on how to set up the bookmarklet in IE. It imports the selection into the lessons area, but doesn’t open it, but that’s not a big deal. At least it is there and I can open it when ever.

Thanks again.

I asked our developers why the bookmarklet can’t be dragged to the bookmarks bar like it can in other browsers. Apparently it is due to some security restrictions in Internet Explorer which don’t allow javascript buttons to be dragged unless you add LingQ to your “trusted sites”. In fact, even after adding LingQ to my trusted sites, it still doesn’t let me drag it so you will have to follow Vera’s instructions to install the bookmarklet in IE. Here they are in English:

  1. Right click on the bookmarklet banner
  2. Click “Add to Favorites”
  3. Say “Yes” to add a favourite…
  4. Choose “Favorites bar” from “Create in” dropdown
  5. Click “Add”

Yes, it took me some time to figure out how it works. That’s why I thought it would be a good idea to put this in the Wiki :slight_smile:

Thanks for bringing back the Cloze Test. It is the fastest way to learn new vocabulary that I’ve ever used or seen. Marvelous!
