Ability to save example sentences

Saving individual words is less beneficial to me than saving groups of example sentences from the expansions. I'd like to have the ability to save sentences into my vocabulary section, so that I can review them in a single place irrespective of individual lessons.

I asked about that a year ago, and John said it was in the works, so it'll probably be implemented any day now! :)

Add this to the list of promised changes that would have been useful, but have been cast aside for the dashboard and other window dressing.

Surprise negativity from go_manly!

If you want to comment on my negativity, that fine. But please remember that I am one of many, including at least 3 people that you regularly converse with and are in the top ten posters for 2010, that have been just as negative about recent developments as I have. That would suggest that there is some basis for such negativity. I just hope you will reuse this comment for the next time these other people criticise the site.

Bob, XiaoLiang has commented on my rants and grumbles, I think more than once. OK? He isn't just picking on you. And I don't think it's his style to recycle and reuse comments. He had a nice little chengyu dig at me some time ago.

Rechecking my thread from a year ago, John never actually said it was in the works. He said he thought it was a good idea and that "we can start looking at" it after the flashcard tool had been remade in Java and had added SRS functionality.

I apologize for my false accusation, which seems to have stirred up some bad feelings. Can't we all just get along?

zhenlijiang

No bad feelings here. I know XiaoLiang doesn't like negativity. It's never personal.

But yeah, better to be real cautious whenever quoting others.

Sorry, was a bit tipsy last night! I've tried to keep to myself of late!

go-manly: I like your spartan style. I don't always agree with what you say, but like the way you say what you mean without dressing it up in niceties.

A cheque in the post will do nicely, thank you :-)

I agree this would be very helpful!!!
