Vocab lists, tags - suggestion

April 16, 2007, 08:19 AM posted in General DiscussionThe "tag feature" in the vocab section of "study" seems to be quite useful. I tagged all my stored vocabulary - agonizing, but now it works. I can do the flashcard and concentration game with the vocabulary of a chosen category.
Minor problem:
The longer the list of "all vocab" grows the more difficult it is to get at the end of the list where the newly added vocab waits for me to be tagged. There are 13 list pages now and with this tag feature available my vocab store will grow considerably.
Suggestion (btw, would you use 提议 or 建议 for "suggestion" in this context?):
Just in case you can spare some time, of course ;-).
- Add a button or a drop down menu which enables the eager and ambitious student/poddie to show more than 10 entries per list page.
- Add an "untagged vocab" button (or something similar), so one can use this one to get quick access to the untagged vocab.

April 16, 2007, 06:03 PMThe ability to sort by each column would be useful as well if possible. I also seem to have a number of duplicate entries.

April 19, 2007, 01:35 PMThe V2-functionality of "This term is already in your wordbank" does not work anymore in V3 - everything will be redundantly added as often as you click it... I still do not get the workaround how to easily access ANY page within the many ones. Now with 20 entries per page it is half the former problem but still not useable for me - I am not patient enough to click 5 times to wade forth or back, plus the response times are boring. A pragmatic suggestion: include a button where to enter a guessed page number.

April 19, 2007, 02:04 PMLooks like things are slowly but surely getting better in the vocab section - 20 words per page and the 'untagged' tag will make things much easier. I haven't been messing around much in there, or on CPod in general, until all of the hiccups are sorted out so I haven't experienced Cornelia's issue of vocab being added redundantly, but that sounds very aggravating and I hope is remedied. Having seen today's update about the vocab, I checked out the sets and they're looking good. I think these, coupled with the new ability of viewing all the lessons any given word can be found in, should be heavily emphasized on any tutorial pages as a way to 'figure out what to study', as many people flounder without those numbers ya know. Finally, I noticed this in the help box on the main vocab page, "Deleting Words Word can be deleted individually by clicking on the trash can on each line, or in mass by clicking the trash can next to the tag name under 'Tagged Vocab Lists'" But I'm not seeing a trash can next to any list names. I assume this is a glitch on the CPod end and will be addressed tomorrow, but thought I'd check with other viewers to confirm that my system isn't causing the problem. And once again... I'm really watering thinking of how nice it will be to use those 'vocab sets' coupled with the 'explore a word' option. Soon as I can clean sweep my cumbersome list I'll be diving in head first.

April 16, 2007, 09:50 AMYes I agree, I have 150 pages of vocab lol. I need a option to display 1000 at a time i think hehe.
