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.

A few dumb questions

CrosbySucks   November 21st, 2014 1:15a.m.

I have a list with around 60-70 subsections, I'm currently stuck about 25 sections back from where I want to be mainly because this is one of about 6 lists I'm adding words from, if I use the "skip to" feature to catch up will it completely ignore the words in the sections I skipped or will I still get those as review? (The main list is the vocab list for my class so I have studied those words I just want to add them to the spaced repetition, the other lists I have are supplementary)

Second, when I have different lists going can I adjust the rate of adding new words between them? Like can I say for every 3 new words from list A I want to add 1 from list B?

Finally when they update the software can you guys please make it shift to landscape when I tilt my ipad?

It will ignore the skipped sections. You could eventually go back and set yourself to not skip those sections, and then it will slowly add from those, too.

You can't control per-list adding rates, but you could pause some of your other lists, add a bunch of words from your main list until you're where you want to be, then re-enable adding for those other lists.

No landscape mode, sorry; the design is hard enough with one orientation.

Adding words from different lists is an excellent question.

My personal circumstances are that I speak way more than I read, and I read way more than I write. So, I want to keep adding new vocabulary, but I want to learn more basic stuff so that one day the gap between my speaking, reading and writing is closed.

Many people are studying a course, and may have the regular vocabulary list, but are also in a specific field, or have specific needs and therefore need to supplement vocabulary.

Therefore it would be a wonderful feature to be able to integrate lists.

Until this becomes a feature of Skritter, (This is on my wishlist) I have a solution.
(Haven't done this yet, but about to give it a try)

Take a list that you want to learn.
Edit the list and add in vocabulary from the other list you want to learn.
(I am guessing it would need to be scattered through the original list so that there is not too much of one and not enough of the other.

Unfortunately, this requires some extra downtime while integrating the two lists.
And this might not be so helpful for lower level learners.

Any better suggestions, or tips on how to do what I just mentioned would be welcomed.
