Flashcard System doesn't show the words from my Word Bank

Postby KingDog » June 1st, 2011 10:48 pm

I'm liking the idea of the new flashcard system, but it's not showing any of the words from my current Word Bank. It seems to populate with random Japanese?

OK let me explain in more details.

The problem started just after the update.
At first, I went to "my word bank" and clicked on "Add All Words to My Flashcards ".
This operation worked.
Since the wordbank was getting big with time, I decided to save some of my oldest words of the wordbank into a deck that I named "group1".
After that I deleted some of my word bank words, and added some new words. The problem is, when I click again on "Add All Words to My Flashcards", it does not make any "wordbank" deck or any new deck.
I was thinking maybe if I remove the deck "group1", I might be able to obtain my wordbank deck. In that case I would lose my former words which I wanted to save somewhere to check them from time to time.

I don't know if I was clear enough. I'm not a native English speaker.
Thanks for helping, the flashcards are very usefull to me

Nicolas.

Same Problem

I am also having the same problem. When i try to make a flashcard deck from my word bank by clicking on the Add all words in word bank to flashcards, it takes me to the flashcards screen, but there is no deck with words from my word bank.

Yep, I am getting the same problems :)

Also, clicking on Vocabulary Flashcards in a lesson only takes me to the new flashcard landing page, I see no way of importing the new vocab from a lesson into flashcards. I can import them to the word bank ok, but then as described above, don't see a way of transferring from the word bank into a flash card deck. When creating a new deck, I see a choice of a bazillion random words that I can use, none of which have anything to do with my word bank or the lesson vocab I'd like to use.
Oh, and the flashcards don't show the kana-option text, it just says #{kana} instead.

Thank you, I'm looking forward to using the new flashcards, they look like a supercool and very useful feature!

Any progress on this?

I'd like to start reviewing flashcards again but I can't make a deck until it imports the words from my Word Bank.

Hi,
first of all my first impression of Japanesepod101 is really, really good (and I have seen quite a few Japanese language sites already).
Moreover, this ability of transfering vocabulary to flashcard seems amazing yet.... I encounter the same issue -_-(impossible to transfer word bank into flashcards).

I hope you can solve the issue as I know this would be a clear advantage to finish preparing the N3 exam in 3 weeks...
Thanks for the job you've done already and for your support,
Nicolas

Thanks for the updates. I noticed that it's starting to come together now. My flashcards are closer to my Word Bank now. Although I have around 650 words in my Word Bank and my flash card set shows around 450.

Do you know if words that are added to my Word Bank will automatically be added to my Word Bank flashcards? That would be awesome if they were.

Hi everyone,
The new flashcards have been fixed and you will now be able to create decks from your WordBank again. If anyone is continuing to experience problems, please let us know!

I would also like to let you know that we are currently working on v2.0 of the new flashcards which will be unveiled in a couple of weeks, which will address a lot of reported issues as well as improve usability overall. :D
