minor adding bug

jww1066   March 30th, 2011 10:24a.m.

I've recently started using the "add" button more and a couple of times have run into a minor problem where words will be added twice. For example, I'll be prompted to write a new word, then immediately I'll be prompted with that word again.

Maybe this has to do with clicking the button quickly in succession. Also, if I refresh the page or change to studying only some parts, the problem goes away. So it's not a huge problem, just a minor annoyance.

This have been there for some time. Every time i nuke my account and start over i add hundreds or words fast and then a lot of them will be doubled. In fact i have also had the same characters been repeated up to 5 times in a row at most. This is just as you said a minor annoyance and in my case only good since it gives me more practice on the character;-) Don't really know for sure but it seems that the words i do get doubled are in more than one list. I usually have several active list and when I add e.g. 200 words from them some words will be in more than one list.

@mandarinboy "Every time i nuke my account and start over" - Wow, how many times have you nuked?

Sorry for that but i do it some once every 6 months or so. From time to time i just got stuck. Can spend 2-3 hours on one character, that i really do know but can't pull out from my brain. Starting over and get massive amount of characters to write unlocks those characters as well for me. Characters, names sand numbers, those are my weak spots. The fun thing is that I can remember code syntax without any problem but got totally stuck with characters, names and numbers. Lucky me to study Chinese:-)

I've actually had this bug on my list for a long time, made several attempts to figure it out, and always bounced off. Today I added another possible workaround, so my logs will tell if I have improved it or not. I'm looking to finally solve this one this week.

Great! I've started running into the same bug recently too, happy to see there's hope. ;)

Mike, did you see it in the last day?
