I'm new to Chinese pod but initial impressions are great.  But the flashcards seem to have some problems - or maybe I have just not figure them out yet. 


I cannot figure out how to restore words where I have ticked the box "exclude this word in future"
 
I have about 350 word in my vocabulary now and ticked the box once I had learned each word, but now I want to be able to go back and test myself again.  But none of the words are available.
 
Ideally, it would be good to have a system where words are marked with how well you know them - if you always get them right, it would move them to the back of the pile, but keep them available for later review. I like to know the word both from audio/hanzi to english, and vice versa, before I count it as "known". But a week later I need to review again.

to restore you have to go to the main vocab page outside of the flashcard function and manually check the select boxes on the left. I believe you have to do them one by one. I quit using the exclude option because of this issue.

Actually Michael I cant get it to work at all now. I remember I could not use the "select all" button to get it to work but it seems to me that all those boxes used to have default checks in them. It did work but its been a while and I did register a complaint because it was so tedius without select all working. Maybe someone has used it recently.
