You shouldn't review fresh piles of cards, but you know what you are doing.

I think I should enable it again, but then add some kind of confirmation to avoid new users messing up their review schedule. Adding to the public to do list. I'm going to experiment with public change log and to do list on the wiki.. we'll see how it goes.

PS: that said, Lousie, could you explain what need is behind reviewing the green cards? Do you need to review groups of cards regularly, ideally outside of the SRS schedule? Meaning.. reviewing green piles shouldn't be necessary, but probably hides another problem?

As jmignot puts it :
The scripts "Substitute keywords" and "Alter sequence" are back for those that might be interested go here to update your previous scripts :

Substitute keywords
Alter sequence

Thank you for your very quick answer to our problems !

Thank you, that confirms what I had in mind.

I think what is missing is a way to review a custom range of cards, and an easier way to do a session of 10, 20 , 30.. reviews based on the most recently added cards; independently of the SRS.

Where did the 'People reviewing today' on the Main screen go?

Only just noticed that's gone.

Faburisu, once again thank you for all your work and for your reply to my post. You ask me to explain why I want to review fresh cards. Well, I have made it my habbit to do at least 60 reviews every day independently of wether or not I have expired cards. This way I keep strengthening my memory of cards already learned. So I guess you could say the point is to learn the kanji even better. Or perhaps my brain just needs more exercise in order to learn properly...

I use paper flashcards because in the beginning I also need to review more than the SRS. I find it works very well for me. And also because I sometimes have time off in between classes at work or when I am traveling, it's easy to bring the flashcards along and review wherever I am. I started doing it before I came across this site, because Heisig basically obligates you to do it in your book, and now I definitely see the advantages of it, so I'm going to keep cutting up cards and making flashcards to review. In the end I'll have 3000 cards. XD

On here I only review the expired cards, btw.

I had to suss out the new method of dealing with missed characters, but I like the new way much better now...

Thank you so much for making this update. This is wonderful. Now I can enjoy all the benefits of the new site, plus I can keep doing extra reviews like I was used to. Great. You really made my day!

Oh dear, looks like my issue wasn't fixed.  This time the home screen claims I have 18 expired kanji but the review screen says only 11 due cards (there's no cards in the learned and/or restudy).  What's going on man?

EDIT: Same thing again today, but this time says 10 but really is only 7.

@nintendomaniac64 : it's a display issue on the homepage as far as I understand. I'm just back from 2 days in Holland, I haven't addressed this bug yet. If you had 11 to review but homepage said 18, and now you have 7 to review that's because one page is ahead of the other with the timezone offset and counts cards that are supposed to be expired on the next day.

@Nisshawn: I'm sorry but that is a different issue, related to the use of Greasemonkey scripts. woelpad hasn't updated all of them, some of them don't work fully yet.

Here's what I do now:

1)First, remove all your flashcards via the Custom selection feature in the "Manage" tab.
2)Add your cards back via the Manage tab.

3)I then review my flashcards until I've failed a specific number of kanji (for now, 10 kanji). As soon as I reach 10 failed cards, I stop reviewing. This step takes me less than 10 minutes.

4)Those 10 failed cards become the "10 kanji I need to study for the day".

5)On top of these 10 cards, I do a lot of reading and study any kanji I don't know. But at the very least, even if I don't read anything that day, I'll at least have reviewed those 10 failed kanji.

6)When reviewing the 10 cards, I put them in my learned list. After reviewing the 10 cards, the "restudy" list is empty. And I start the same process over again the next day.

This method ensures that only 10 kanji are showing in my "restudy" list (or you can click on "Detailed List" to see everything). Over time, it takes longer to reach 10 failed cards, because of all the reading I do.

After reading one page of Japanese text, I write down all the kanji I don't know and study them all before going onto the next page.

Instead of worrying about keeping up with reviews, I just simply use RevTK to find 10 kanji that I don't know. Rather than spending more time on SRS, I use that extra time for reading. While reading, I build up a list of kanji I don't know (which in a way kind of acts like an SRS).

For now, I'm only focusing on individual kanji. I'm not at the stage where I'm using SRS to collect sentences.

This seems to work very well for me..... :-)
