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.

Cram Suggestions

I like the cram mode. A couple of minor suggestions for improvement:
1) Make it easier to add from multiple custom lists (I want to study chapters 1-5 of my text which I've added as a custom list with sections but adding each takes like 5 clicks)
2) Make it easier to study a group of words/characters - by this I mean let me select some lists and have Skritter run each character at least once and then repeat the ones I don't know (I get wrong) until I learn them all. This is basically taking the functions of Skritter and letting me (a) restrict the vocab list and (b) letting me force all the characters from a list to appear in the study queue once.

For right now, performance limitations prevent us from making really, really long cram lists, because it's set up to load everything you put in there. That takes a lot of resources and then makes the river control at the bottom slow if there are hundreds of items. There's also currently no saving of state, so you'd have to not reload the page or remember where you were.

If many people want to study lots of sections/words at a time, though, we can work around both those problems and make it happen. So, readers, if you want that, make some noise!

Noise! Noise!

I had thought of creating another account with just the words from the current sections I'm studying for test-taking purposes which I think would work but (a) I'm lazy and (b) my account wouldn't have the progress recorded.
