While practicing I just reviewed the word 左边 which reminded me that I have real trouble remembering if 左 or 右 is pronounced "you" or "zuo" and which one has the 3rd and which one the 4th tone, so I finally wanted to add them to starred words (I usually don't use this feature).

The problem is that it seems impossible to star words unless your encountering them in practice. I guess I can work around it by putting them into the scratchpad just to star them but I was wondering if there could be the option to star words when your looking at their detail pop-up window.

That's what I noticed too, the practice Starred Words only seems to have disappeared from the Practice page... and has been moved here: http://www.skritter.com/vocab/stars

The Alpha version really requires some getting used to ;)

oh boy, i am so scattered brain those days, miscomprending and miscalculating, I should refrain from posting in the forum! :\

But I support inkubus' suggestion, being able to Star word through the details popup would be pretty convenient, like when I am looking through some lists of words, and notice some I'd like to study, it'd be nice to be able to single them out.

I would also move or at least add the feedback button to the pop-up...

I agree with wb, that's also a very good suggestion.

Stars have been added to the popup! Upload going up later.

Probably don't need the feedback button added though. The contact link is always at the bottom of the page, and in the page people spend the most time in. You guys know how to reach us!

yes I know how to reach you...
well in my opinion the popup would just be the more logical place, because you don't really need the feedback button that often and sometimes you edit a list, check everything, then you notice some mistake of a character and want to give feedback but then you have to copy+paste the character into some mail...no big thing, but I looked for that button in the popup at least twice...

ok now it seems to me that the star inside practice page doesn't work anymore...

Oops, that's a bug introduced with the addition of the star in the popup. Fixed and will upload soon.
