Bug status: doubled words / ... hangs

nick   September 23rd, 2010 4:27p.m.

So for a long time there's been a bug when using the manual add word button that sometimes you'd get the same word twice in a row. I've made a change to try to fix this, which may have helped, but sometimes causes the opposite bug, which is that it'll stop loading words and you'll just have the loading ellipses in the upper left.

So I've made another change to see if I can't get it to avoid both of these problems, but as they both occur rarely, it'd be great if y'all could keep your eyes out for them and let me know if they're continuing to happen.

It would also be nice to know how often you've been seeing each of them in the last couple months, if you have. Thanks!

I've been running into it consistently today. I reload the page, it makes me review a few characters, but then when it tries continuing to new ones, it gets stuck in the green loading-dots animation.

I have the same in the past few days. Not any problem really, I just reload the page and it is working fine. Today it worse than before but still not any real problem. The old problem with having the same character repeated are gone for me now, big thanks for that.

the "... hangs" have been a problem for a day or so for me. Really annoying ^^

...but please fix that loading "bug" ASAP :P

I've just incorporated another error handler which should help me get to the bottom of this, LinXiong. I'll try to find and fix it today. Thanks for your patience!

LinXiong   September 25th, 2010 9:25p.m.

that was... quick. Thanks a lot, it works perfectly now :)

I had this problem happen today (same word twice in a row), not the hanging.
