@murrayjames & @seamus5,Are these problems persistent for you guys, or are they one-time issues that go away the next time you open the review? i.e. do you need to do a soft reset on Safari to make the problems go away, or just closing the popup and reopening it solve the problem?What the javascript does is make a connection to our server to request the next question. If this request gets interrupted or dropped by the network for any reason -- which has happened to me once too -- you'll just see the spinning button and then nothing else. It should be a pretty rare issue though.Anyway -- it would be good to confirm whether or not these problems require a soft reset to solve on your machines in order to try and figure out what the exact problem might be and how we can work around it. We should probably code a listener that will catch failed attempts to fetch questions and reissue requests after a certain number of seconds have passed.
@David,
I do a lot of reviews, and I've only had this problem once. Must mean the database is up to date. No soft reset necessary; after X'ing the popup and reloading the lesson page everything was fine.
It is helps, the culprit was 康师傅 from the Elementary "A Betrayal of Family" lesson :-) I've added the word to my private word list and will see it comes up again.
You can enable and disable the various review options on this page:http://popupchinese.com/account/review
Exactly. Both the flashcards and the popup review will pull content from your vocabulary list based on your SRS settings. Words you answer incorrectly are automatically reset to the lowest level and scheduled for immediate review.
No... if you haven't had any problems since the reset it should just be a one-time thing. The reset would have removed the old javascript from your browser cache and forced it to download the new javascript, which seems to be working fine.If you do run into any more issues you aren't sure about, send me an email directly and I'll deal with them ASAP, since you'll be reporting unknown issues.
Switch your settings to "wordlist vocabulary" on this page.

After this the popup tests will only quiz you on materials explicitly in your vocabulary list. If you run into words you already know, delete them from your list and you'll never see them again. Alternately, you can remove all absolute beginner lessons from your list of studied lessons. Then they won't be used as vocabulary sources.
