First I must say that i totally love all the latest changes to the lists. Fantastic work that helps a lot. I have a however a few minor issues

- The bookmarklet do not anymore tell you if a word already is in any list. I can re add the same word unlimited times.

- Every time you are done with the bookmarklet list it will be marked at studied. If more words are added you have to re add the list for study again and again. Would be nice if the list could do this by automation. Same for the Miscellaneous list. I have hundreds of lists so it take some time to find the list again from time to time.

- There is an time out issue with the word popup. In the last few days I have many time run in to an time out when the pop up loads. When that happens everything gets locked and the only thing to do is to reload the site again.

- In the popup the full translations get cut off. You can hover over the words in the decomposition part to get the full text but not for the words containing or characters containing sections.

How do you re-add the bookmarket list for study without studying it by itself?

I only had one word in it, and finished it quickly. Now, as I add new words from Denshi Jisho, they are added to the list OK but the "finished" status on the study page never changes to "restart studying."

Thanks!

I'd say that's a bug; you shouldn't have to re-add the lists manually for study. My bookmarklet, MDBG and miscellaneous lists all automatically move themselves up to being studied status as soon as I add a new word.

Apparently, my list is also working normally. I checked my bookmarklet list after adding some items, and it hadn't updated yet, so I assumed it wasn't going to update. Sorry for the false alarm.

Working for me now as well after I changed time zone. Seems to have been some problems there. I run with Japanese time zone but are for the moment in Sweden. After switching to Swedish It do work for me as well.

There was a lingering bug that caused some of the first lists to be made after the bug to not update the way they should have. If they're updating now then they should be fine.

I'll be putting up an update soon to fix the add API so that duplicates don't get added anymore.

I'll work on those timeout and text cut off issues today as well. Thanks for the report!

Mandarinboy, the popup should automatically handle these timeouts but apparently it's not working, but I'm not sure why. Could you send me a screenshot of what it looks like when it fails?

I see that a lot when editing definitions. Although only more recently has it required a refresh of the page. I make sure to copy and paste any custom definitions before I save them, so I don't have to rewrite them out again if saving fails. In the case of editing the white box collapses to say 50px high, saying 'Saving..." (I think?), and just remains there.
