Thank you Fabrice for taking the time to listen to us for the next step in the site history !
I find this website is actually exactly what I had been looking for, and this, for years !
But since I have discovered the Yves Maniette version of RTK first, I really appreciate the use of two of Woelpad's scripts (in fact they're essential to my eyes, as explained below):
The very first is (like some other fellow members here) : "Substitute Keywords".
It allows me to input some keywords that are different sometimes, and this can be used by native English speakers as well when they feel the need to customize a bit to enjoy their learning process.
The second and last one I use is : "Alter sequence", still made by the great Woelpad !
Mr. Maniette did not just translate the book, but I'm sure you are aware of that, Fabrice. So the kanji order is sometimes different. And when studying "Within" 於, for example it is placed in 2900th in the Heisig book, and 512th in the French version. (I'm not here to criticize or say which one is better, but it is a fact to those who use the French version)
So this script is nice.
However (there is a however) it is not (like the name of the script could mean) a script that allows us to customize the order of the kanji. Say, I see 於 in my book in the 512th position, but can't review it here, since it only comes 2388 kanji later. I thought it would allow me to change the order and put it in 512th position, shifting every kanji one position further.
But it is not possible.
In fact, the script "Alter sequence" comes with a predefined modified list of kanji order.
But maybe this list is from an older edition, since there is also several editions of the French version. So, in Woelpad's script, 於 comes in 508th position, not 512th. (sometimes there is a greater difference, that's why I take the time to explain this.)
So my question is : Would it be possible to add a function that allows to change manually the order of the kanji, shifting automatically one place further the other kanji ?
And you could tell it is my third choice of a script, if possible 
Thank you for taking the time to read this quite long post.
You're doing a great job here ! がんばって！

Thanks for the new site. I'm liking the faster reviews and the undo
I've been using Stylish to change kanji font instead of the Greasemonkey script. I only want to change the big kanji on the study page and the flashcards, and leave the rest alone.
Currently using on the new site:
Code:
@-moz-document url-prefix(http://kanji.koohii.com/review) {
#kanjibig p { font:120pt 'KanjiStrokeOrders' !important; }
}
@-moz-document url-prefix(http://kanji.koohii.com/study/kanji) {
.rtkframe .kanji { font:65pt 'KanjiStrokeOrders' !important; }
}The big kanji on the study page was IIRC 80pt on the old site, which was a little too small for me but I lived with it. However, now it's 50pt, and I can only enlarge it up to 65pt in the CSS without getting glitches from overlapping elements. I've tried resizing other elements to make room, but not been able to get it right yet.
@bladethecoder, ooops I just did the same. And wrote it up just a few seconds ago: here. (Though with a little adjustment)
That's definitely a very important adjustment to have. I kind of love it. And vote for it too. If we could just get those lines by default, that would be great. Btw: is there a "font-supported" selection in the CSS drafts somewhere(?) e.g. use KanjiStrokeOrders Font, iif it is available.

I'm not really familiar with Maniette's version. I don't own a copy of the french version myself, so I only know about the differences to the english version based on user's comments here.
@Komorebi : you mean you want to remap the actual frame numbers? So Maniette's version changes not just the order, but also the maximum frame number in volume one ? (from new primitives? kanji added or ommitted?)
So, I tested the website today, with the scripts to try your new version.
And I can see it is now possible to manually add some kanji (for example, if you are near the 800th kanji, you can add "dare" which is far away (but not in the French version).
So basically, I no longer need the "Alter Sequence" script. (and I even disabled it)
I don't really care now about the order. What is important (to me) is to be able to add them in the review cycle.
If you are interested in seeing what the French version is like, there is a free sample PDF (with approx. 300 kanji) on Mr. Maniette's site : http://maniette.fr
Here's a direct link to the PDF
As you say, some kanji are added like : 此、頃、匂、迄、於、誰、或 (that are seen earlier in his version, 7XXth instead of 2XXXth) and some of the 9XX series also seen earlier, like in 36Xth position.
The vol.1 he has made goes up to 2064 kanji.
I contacted him to know if he was going to do a French version of Heisig's 2 other tomes.
He told me that he was working on the second one.
I hope it will help you to understand what the French version is like, and don't miss the sample PDF
