I was wondering if there is a way to get more control over the compartments for the kanji you're reviewing. I just recently found this site, and have been using another program for review up until now.
I find the system on this site to be better, so I'd like to switch over. However, it's a real pain to start over as I now have about 550 kanji that I know really well in box 1. I'd have to go through every one of them at least 4 times before they started to get into about the right box.

Is there a way to speed up this process for us latecomers?

Just click easy for those ones you know and then it will skip two boxes each, I think, so you'll only need review them two times.

Oh, so that's what "easy" does. Oh well, I guess that's something at least. Thanks.

This is wrong If I'm not mistaken. Doesn't the easy button extend the length of the review by 1.5x?

I remember reading the same thing, actually.

Regarding the "easy" answer, it roughly multiplies the delay-to-expiration of the card by 1.5x, this would reduce the load of reviews but not the number of reviews needed to egt the first 550 kanji into box 5.

Beneus, please confirm by email exactly up to what frame number you want your cards moved, what account name it is (in case you created another one), and if you are certain you know them well I'll move them to box 4 for you (this because I get very seldom such requests so far).
