Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

amount to practice

Recently, as I practice, the amount of items left to practice in the blue bar sporadically jumps higher and higher. Meanwhile, the home page shows a steadily lowering amount. Right now my home page shows 57 items ready for review, while my practice screen has just jumped to 105. I know there will be slight differences between them, but this seems a bit too much.

sometimes the homepage takes a while to get up to the right number for me, even after it stops for a while... on the other side, i have seen the getting higher thing, but not much lately... what does happen is that it starts high or jumps once and then later jumps back down 50 or something like that. Definitely strange. Great feeling when you realize you have 30 reviews left instead of 80 i guess.

Hmm, some other users have reported this issue lately as well. I'm wondering if it's not related to increased timeouts and improper handling of retries, such that some types of items get double counted.

I'll check in on it, but I may have to leave it for the new version to fix, as some of that code is already different.
