There should be no need to reset cards under normal circumstances

I think it was a very helpful feature and anyone else who thinks so, please add your input on this thread:

Hey Guys,
I want to set up a model deck to use with RTK2 Pure groups.(only testing one way, compound to reading)
What I am trying to figure out how to do is how to set up the model to have the Q card read PURE GROUP on each card, so I dont have to type it in again and again.
Anyone know how to do this?

Sweet. Thanks JS!

Ok call me idiot or whatever you want ....
But for god's sake how can I change the name of the decks ? I'm tired of having "mydeck 1" , 2 ,3 , 4 , 5 , 6 etc... You can't choose when it saves ,  I've searched inside model properties and deck properties  and I didn't find anything .
The closer thing I found is in deck properties where you can choose the name of your deck on the internet server ... but nothing about your own computer .
I've also searched in the documentation but there's nothing about it in creating a new deck.

The worse is I'm sure it's pretty obvious.

How come you've got so many decks anyway?

When Vosimura brought it to our attention last May, Anki was only a shadow of what it is now (IMHO), so there have been a lot of major changes in the past 9 months.  I don't know when the program initially came out, though.  There have been a lot of updates in the last 2 weeks or so because version 0.9.0 was a major overhaul of the inner workings and Mr. Elmes is still working out the kinks.  There were no new versions for a few months before 0.9.0 came out.

I've tried a few other SRSes as well, and even with the bumps that have been coming along from time to time, Anki is far better than anything I know of, and it will continue to get better.

I've just added access keys to the simple phone interface. You can now hit 0-5 on the answer screen to submit your answer, with no need to scroll to the correct button.

what about the priority system ?
I don't know if it's a bug(if it is I will create a post on anki forum)  or I misunderstood the way of using it  but even when I put the tag of of some cards (not the facts , the cards) in very high priority thoses cards are not displayed first .
Let's say that those have been succesfully reviewed or that the time of the review is not before a long time will it still display the cards owing to the priority I put on them ?
What about the delay ? is it normal that when I answer correctly the card will be reviewed in 5 YEARS !? is it the effect of the very high priority system ?

Sorry if some of those questions are obvious but as right now the documentation is still a work in progress it's hard for me to know when it's a bug and when I use it misproperly.

It sounds like a problem some of the Zaurus users were having.  What computer(s) are you using Anki on?

An acer aspire 3610 celeron 1,5 ghz ,  with WinXp installed . And as I said it's the  latest version of Anki.

So it IS a bug...Don't know if I have have to be relieved or not though...
Guess I will post on Anki Forum then.

But if you have a solution then you're welcome...

EDIT : thanks revolve for your quickness and the effort you put into that.
It's the kind of thing that really make you want to use Anki (I mean an other thing outside the fact Anki is the best soft currently on the market: )  .

The download page says "changes in 0.9.5.2" where it should say "changes in 0.9.5.3"

ok I just tried it for an hour and a half to check if everything was fine and .....

YES !
Now it works great thanks . Obviously I had to reset the progress of a lot of card but everything is fine .... it even allowed me to better understand the way the priority system works  and now i can use it efficiently  .
You have been very professionnal thanks again .
But Internet still remains a BIG PROBLEM

1- MAYBE  those insane delays remains : 5 years sometimes  if I succeed a card .
Thing is I don t to know to what extent there is still a problem .It didn't work only 30 minutes ago but A few minutes ago the delays when I succeeded became quite normal ( a week  2 week  2 week and a half ) . However I m still not sure if it s fixed or not as I only tried ten or fifteen cards on internet  and there's still a bunch of eternally delayed card that I can't fix .By the way  do you use a slightly different algorithm when it comes to delays for internet  ? or is it just the fact that I have already studied some of those cards ?

2- so I have questions about the utilisation of the online access.
-internet only deals with the first 3  fields right ? cause the additionnal field ("Others" :i put sentence exemple and heisig reference in it ,etc...  ) i created is not displayed .
Or all the settings of a deck (which fields exist , which fields are displayed on wich side ,etc...) are supposed to be taken with it ?
-in which direction does it synchronize ? I have the feeling that it only picks datas from the internet server to put them into my pc , not the otherway around . Cause when I synchronize it put delays like 9.8 years and 5 years in my deck . It means that it extracts the delays of the internet database wich is still corrupted.  Therefore every time i do it it messes everything in my deck cause it takes the insane delays still recorded in the online deck (even if the algorithm itself has been fixed).
Worse  it erases the information in the additionnal field of my pc deck
Can t we synchronise the other way ?  I mean when i put those datas on the internet server oviously it meant that the data on my computer were transfered on internet.
So I really don t get the way the sync works .
- just how many options do I have with the internet access : it seems to me for instance I can't reset that stat datas that makes my online deck useless. And if I want to  tell which cards are wrecked  if I have to sync to see wich card on my PC have those delays . Not really useful anyway since I can t change the data on the internet server but  I just want to be sure there aren t any ways to read datas from the online access for future problems.

Ok finally understood  the source of problem
I am currently reviewing on 2 computers : the one I m using at home and another one in my school .  The school computer clock displays 2003 , that s why it  put all the cards to a 5 year delay .
So once again thanks

Just a last question : there s definetely no way to update cards from internet ? sometimes when I m reviewing I have ideas for improvement of the flashcards ....
