In the study area where it lists the kanji that you have failed, whenever you click that you have "learned" a kanji, it will return you to the first kanji in the failed list. I would recommend that it instead take you to the NEXT kanji in the failed list.

As I go through the kanji that I have failed, even after reviewing my story, I don't always feel confident with it, so I just leave it in the failed stack so I can come back to it in a few minutes. As I skip it and move on to the next ones though, anytime I mark any other kanji as learned, it will just keep taking me back to that first one.

Yes. And something else along the same lines:
When I am looking through my failed kanjis, if I have more than 10 I constantly have to click "View all". Would it be possible to specify how many kanjis will be listed on the left on this page:
http://kanji.koohii.com/study/failed-kanji.php

That would make it easy to just view ever one of them and ditch the use of view all constanly when going through all of them.

Another solution would be to make it possible to review the failed kanjis also, so that you could just go through them all, one by one (perhaps even scrambled to prevent remebering the kanjis by their frame number). Those that you fail will, as before, just fall back to the same stack, the others could advance into "One Review", as it is now.

A third solution would be to have a training session, separate from the trainings system, where you could just train on a bunch of cards (for instance the failed onces, but also new cards that you yet have to learn). In this "sandbox"-like area you would not move any card anywhere before you are sure to remember the cards not just after five minutes, but also at the end of the day and then start the SRS on them.

Hope this was understandable :-)

Added a Jump to next failed kanji feature to the Alter sequence script. Is active even in non-Lite mode. Due to the limitations of the medium (or my knowledge of it sad ), after pressing the Learned button the page for the first kanji shows up briefly before switching to the target kanji.

Has some merit. Does right-clicking and opening the keyword in another tab satisfy your needs?

Bookmark this link: http://kanji.koohii.com/review/review.p … &box=1 or install this script.

There are a number of threads on this topic and a few programs too, though no guarantee if they are still working. Check out this thread for example.

"Bookmark this link: http://kanji.koohii.com/review/review.p ? &box=1"

Thanks! :-) I think that one works the best for now. (Even better would be if this link could be embedded somewhere on this page:
http://kanji.koohii.com/study/failed-kanji.php Then it would just work everywhere without scripting etc. :-)

"Does right-clicking and opening the keyword in another tab satisfy your needs?"

Not quite :-P -- I have though of it, but it still gives me those extra clicks -- perhaps I am a bit lazy :-P

I've included a Failed List Length option in the Alter sequence script. You'll find it among the Greasemonkey settings on the My profile page. Enter your number of choice or * to list them all or 0 to remove the list. I needed to tweak the Substitute keywords script a little so it would recognize the extended list.

I think Terhorst (author of the aforementioned Review Failed script) had the right idea embedding this link in the red stack on the review page. You could also put the bookmark in your browser's shortcut bar (f.i. in Firefox you can drag the tab label there to create a new link). But you seem to want Fabrice to make a change to one of the pages. You've heard it, he's refactoring.
