Morning Zoran, while in Read mode, if I click on the symbol to the right of “View Sentence”, I have 8 LingQs and “Review Due” has a (7) beside it, yet, if I click “Review Due” I get the usual error message "You do not have enough LingQs… ". The number of LingQs has also been higher than 8, yet I get the same message.
@Ralf_CT Is that on the Android app?
Yes, that’s on the Android app.
Thanks @Ralf_CT , we will have it fixed.
When you click the right page arrow to page through a lesson, if you click it on the last page, when there really is not a next page–but the button is in the same place, so it is easy to just click it because you have been clicking it all the way through–then by default it marks every word in the entire story (not even just on the last page) as known.
As someone new to lingq, I had no idea what happened, but I soon found that many unknown words were marked as known, so I gave up on making any sense out of what “known” or “unknown” meant, because it seemed incomprehensible.
I think this can be fixed by unchecking “Auto LingQ creation” under “General” in “Settings”. I had a similar problems, all blue words were suddenly marked as known, this stopped after I did the above.
That would make sense if they fixed that to not be the wrong default, so it doesn’t wreck lots of words from the beginning.
When I started it had not been fixed, so it was too late when I found out, so I gave up on the word marking system as incomprehensible and hopeless.
Even if “Paging moves to Known” is disabled, completing a lesson will mark all words in a lesson as Known, that is how it always worked. We belive that there is no point of leaving blue words behind in a lesson.
This is what leads to an incomprehensible experience for anyone new.
All sorts of unknown words get listed as known, so the whole concept of what the markings mean is baffling.
To make it comprehensible for someone new, you would need to fix the defaults to avoid this, AND make some sort of documentation that is accessible, I think.
By the time someone new stumbles into some explanation in the forums, it is already a mess.
This should be disabled by default in the settings though. It’s a nuisance for too many new users.
@zorbital When completing a lesson for the first time, there is a popup warning for users that explains what will happen to all blue words that remain in a lesson.
