Hi there,

I wanted to practice a little bit longer today, because i'm writing a test in the evening.

But after three, four "solved" signs, i get the message "In order to get started practicing with Skritter, please go to the Vocabulary Lists page to choose what you'd like to study.", which lays over the flash applet making me unable to practice.

Am I doing some mistake or is it a bug?

I recently changed that error message to make it more clear for users who had just signed up without making it to the vocab lists page, but I see there's another case where it got called: when you didn't have anything to add and practiced for long enough that you hit items that were less than 50% ready to study.

I've changed it back to the old message, "You'll need to add more words" for that case, and I also lowered the threshold to 30%, since we don't have cram mode ready yet to do what you want.

Sorry about that! Good luck on your test.

Yeah, works perfectly. Thank you.
