"Paging moves to known" website version not working correctly

June 05 at 01:25

Hi there. In using the website version of Lingq, I unchecked "paging moves to known" when listening to a new text for the first time. I intended to first listen to the whole thing and then look at it in more depth sentence-by-sentence. I didn't want the initial listen-through to affect my blue (unknown) words.

However it didn't work as I expected: when I went back to the beginning of my text, I noted that all words had flipped to "known".

This issue only concerns the website version. The IOS app version work as expected with regard to this function.

Well, I guess the "solution" when I want to listen without all of words becoming known is to switch to the app version (where unchecking "paging moves to known" works correctly) .

It's not really a solution of course. Lingq is unfortunately pretty darn flakey....

Can you please provide example lesson where you encountered this issue? I can't find a way to reproduce the problem on my end and also haven't heard from anyone else complaining about the same issue, and that makes it tricky to figure out. Thanks!

No I didn’t. I listened through to the end, then went back to the first page and was surprised to see that all words had moved to “known”, despite the fact that I had gone in to reader settings beforehand and unchecked “paging moves to known”. I’m on Windows 10 on a PC using Firefox as a browser.

Note that this isn’t the first time I’ve come across this issue with the website version on my computer. There is no change, it’s been like this for a while (for me). I didn’t report it before but thought you’d want to know….

When you are on the last page of a lesson and you click trying to move to the next page (while there is no next page), it will "complete the lesson", which is a different thing and will turn all blue words to known. Maybe that's what happened?

Ah that's quite possible, thanks! I had tried it again and this time it had worked properly. I knew that I hadn't clicked on "lesson complete", and I wasn't sure about what exactly produced what I observed the first time.

The above behaviour is unexpected...maybe it should be fixed. True, it's minor, but it contributes to the impression of flakiness...

Did you maybe complete a lesson accidentally? I just tested on my end, and everything works fine. When paging moves to known is disabled, words remain blue when going through pages, I can't see any issue there.
