I suspect even naming the field 'expression' instead of 'Expression' with an uppercase E could make it not work.

Recommended learning and re-learning steps for a single words deck? I have the word on the front, and the word+furigana and English definition on back.
My current steps are 0.1, 2 [minutes]
After answering "correct" on the 2-minute interval, the card is marked "young" and scheduled for review the next day. I do quite bad on these. Maybe I need to add another interval or adjust the existing ones?
I like the 0.1 minute review because I feel it eliminates a lot of "grinding," which is my name for fails on the lowest learning or re-learning intervals.
--------------------------
How do I tune my settings for 90% retention or 70% retention? Is it recommended to do this? I think Anki default settings (which I use) are aimed at 80% retention. My goal is to read manga and light novels.
--------------------------
I feel like my retention is low. How do I change the settings for improved retention?

I think Anki default settings (which I use) are aimed at 80% retention.The settings in anki are largely dependent on the type of material you are studying. So what works well for memorizing the capitals of countries, may not work well for kanji or vocabulary. Anki's default settings may work well for general material, but in my opinion they are too difficult for Japanese vocabulary.
There are two main settings that affect your accuracy - learning intervals and starting ease. These controls affect learning accuracy and review accuracy. So if you find that your accuracy is low in the learning phase, add a few more learning steps. If your accuracy is low for mature cards, lower your starting ease. I try to keep my mature cards at a higher accuracy since, if I fail a mature card, it will cost me many reviews bringing it back to it's mature interval.
Personally, I use learning intervals of 0.5 3 15 60 180 540 1440 for my vocabulary cards. Relapse is fewer as I don't find I need as much review after the initial learning phase. So my relapse intervals are 4 20 180. And I set my starting ease to 130 which is the lowest setting anki will accept. This keeps my accuracy around 90% with slightly lower for learning cards and slightly higher for mature cards, but YMMV.
You should also consider how accuracy relates to efficiency, as they affect each other. According to supermemo, the most efficient is around 80% accuracy and as you get closer to 90% and 100% the number of reviews starts increasing exponentially. I used to go for accuracy around 80% to be as efficient as possible, but I found it was demoralizing, so I currently shoot for 90%. I realize I may be less efficient, but it's lot more of a pleasant process.

But now I’m stuck at 11 at night and if I move the setting backwards I get an extra day of review. Does anybody know how to get around this?I made this move once again... Does anybody happen to know a solution? I've googled as well but can't seem to find anything that works. And with my current review count an extra day of reviewing is unfortunately a dauting task :/

I don't think there's any solution as elegant as delaying everything by one day or anything. But you could prioritize what you study first by using a filtered deck and slowly whittle down the backlog. Allow me to me explain.
Mature cards don't really matter if you study them exactly the day they are due, or a week later. But young cards are more forgettable, you should probably do those reviews on the day they are due if possible. So why not make a filtered deck that will pull out all your mature cards, so you only have young cards in your main deck(s). Then you study the young cards and save the mature cards for if you have time that day. If you're not adding new cards, eventually your reviews will go down so after a week or so, you should be able to catch up again. I've done this a few times and it's worked reasonably well.
this will pull out all mature cards due today:
prop:ivl>21 is:due
if you need to pull out more cards, change 21 to a smaller number like 7:
prop:ivl>7 is:due

Hello guys,
I went through a few pages here but couldn't find my specific case, so please bear with me.
I messed up my deck on Ankiweb and PC Version, but the one saved in my iPad is still fine. What steps should I take to synchronize in order to guarantee that the iPad version will overwrite the other ones?
Thanks in advance for your support.
edit:
I figured it out. Exported it from iPad into iTunes, downloaded and imported it into PC version. Yay, glad it worked out. Thanks anyway folks.

Hi, when I start up Anki I get a message asking if I want to upgrade to version 2.0.32. Should I do so? I'm a "if it's not broken don't fix it" type of person. Thanks.
Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Vempele - 2015-08-24
Here's the changelog. See anything in there that's relevant to you? You can see your current version number in Help->About.
If you're running a version prior to 2.0.24, you have to update if you want to sync. Other than that, it's been bugfixes and very minor improvements for longer than the 2.5 years I've been using Anki.

My goal is to read manga and light novels.You'll need to change the interval modifier, which is by default set to 100 (I think). This is a rule of thumb I copied from the anki manual:
--------------------------
I feel like my retention is low. How do I change the settings for improved retention?
log(desired retention%) / log(current retention%)
Imagine we have a current retention rate of 85% and we want to increase it to 90%. We’d calculate the modifier as:
log(90%) / log(85%) = 0.65

Right now, when reviewing cards I use my left hand to push the space bar to reveal the answer, and my right hand to select 1, 2 or 3 from the keypad.
It would be easier if instead of using my left hand to press the spacebar I could select another number from the keypad (and thereby use only my right hand for everything).
Is there a way to program Anki to replace the spacebar with a number on the keypad?
Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - yogert909 - 2015-08-24
There's an add on that remaps the number keys to j,k,l,; so you ca use your right hand and your thumb for the spacebar. There's this one too. If you want something easy that you don't need an add on and don't mind using your left hand instead of right, I use my thumb for the spacebar and other fingers for the number keys above the query keys keeping my right hand free.

I'll give it a try.
EDIT: It works perfectly...I am doing anki with my left hand, while I hold my bottle of beer with my right hand (I'm sitting at a bar as I type this).

Hi, I want to review a whole deck just each card once, I indicate whether I know the answer or don't, but the system just shows me each card once and doesn't do any repeats. Then later I go back and do a separate study just of the cards I got wrong.
I think what I need to do is turn off the "learn" function so that as I go through the deck it won't keep showing me cards I already looked at.
How do I set it to do this? Thanks.
Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - yogert909 - 2015-08-30
Setting your learning intervals to a single large value(eg.10080) will avoid showing you cards you got wrong recently until a week later. Setting your graduating interval to 7 will delay the correctly answered cards for that many days. Then you could either wait a week until the incorrectly answered cards come back around, or use a filtered deck to capture those cards and study them right away. For the filtered deck, try the following replacing deckname with the name of your deck:
"deck:deckname" rated:7:1
However, I should mention this probably isn't the most efficient way of studying. If you provide more detail about the reason you want to study this way, I can probably give you some better options.

I am thinking I'd like to have 2 decks running for RTK. Keyword to Kanji and reverse
I'd like them to run at the same pace so that if I set 10 new cards a day they will be the same entries for both decks although of course I expect them to deviate once the cards start getting learned and reviewed as they would be entered into the skull meat at different paces.
I think I know how to do this after much aggravation but I am not sure so...
If I am in a deck, select edit, cards, flip deck. Then export said deck and re-enter the deck as a new deck with a slightly different name with the same option set as the first as long as I haven't used either deck?
Will this work, is there an easier way? Will doing so awaken Cthulhu from the watery deeps of Ryleh and end us all?
If I flip the deck, will the stories still show with the Kanji or will it show with the keyword.
As it is now. https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2756278936 it goes keyword and the answer is kanji plus story and the story makes the keyword pretty obvious.
If they still will, how would I fix that.
Also is there any way to reset a deck to start over again. Keep the deck and entries as is except as if you have never used it.

Go to card edit and select note type.
Select 'Cards' and select 'Add New Card'.
Customize with html primarily for editing context and css for overall styling.

To reset a deck it might be best to re-import the deck into Anki or reschedule it by selecting the given cards in 'Browse' and Edit>Reschedule selected cards to the end of the new card queue.

You open up the whole deck in "Browse", select the first card, then click on "Preview" which displays the card on your screen as it would when you normally do reviews, then by clicking on the arrow at the bottom left side of the screen you can (a) look at the front of the card (b) look at the back of the card and © advance to the next card. No annoying "SRS repeats" mucking it up. You do each card only once.
As I'm going through, I'm making note of which cards I got wrong in a notebook. Then I can focus just on those.

Hi, another question: is there a way of putting a check box on the back of each card so I can check the box if I want to "mark" the card? Thanks.
Anki Small Questions Thread - (NO Technical / Troubleshooting Posts) - Kuroro - 2015-09-09
You could just mark the cards by pressing cmd+K (on OSX, if you're on Windows I don't know it might be ctrl+K) so that when you go to Browse -> Marked (there's a little star next to it) you will only find those you're interested in

I'm trying to avoid having to switch to browse mode. I thought it would be nice if I could just click on the card when viewing it in order to "mark" it.
