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:

legacy.skritter.cn

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.

How is the "make your own examples" change coming along?

I believe this is one of the most important issues atm, especially for single characters, since almost all example sentences are for whole words, i.e. mostly 2 characters or more.
For those of you that dont know what I mean, example sentences for single characters looks like this:
The character is 喜.
The example sentence looks something like this:
我很____她。So, logically you might think that you should put 喜 into the empty space? Wrong, it's 喜欢 = bugged

If you would like a sentence for single characters, it should look something like this:
我很__欢她. But this is also not very effective.

The best thing would be to just use word examples for most single characters. So instead of the sentence, you would have words that you can use the character in:

~~事,~~欢,~~爱,害~~,~~剧 etc.

Please fix this.

Why not just put your own example sentences in the definition itself?

Example sentences upgrades will be coming after some major changes to lists are done. I imagine it will be a few months from now, but developers are quite bad at estimating time frames! Know though that it's high priority for a large project.

I'm putting this thread in with the case to remember to put in words for single characters though, that's a good idea.
