Problem with flashcards

votes

I've made a set a flashcards. When I review them, one of the words is spelled incorrectly. I've tried to edit it, but the word seems to be spelled correctly in my list. It is also spelled correctly in the list that is under the flashcards when you play them. However, it is misspelled in the flashcard player. Any ideas how to correct this?

I think I have figured it out. I cut and paste the accented words. Though it has accepted my ó for ages, it has decided not to anymore. Why, I have no idea. However, I typed in a word that had the ó, and it showed up. I realized it didn't like the ó after another set of flashcards also neglected to have it in a word. I hope it doesn't turn against all my letters.

Hmm, that's interesting. I haven't had any trouble cutting and pasting. Hope this doesn't spread! - revmaf, Aug 17, 2010

I'm afraid it didn't work! Why doesn't it like that one word? The ó is still missing. I think I'm just going to have to remove it altogether from the word list.

I'm sorry - I have no idea why it won't accept the word. Removing it is your last option, I guess. - revmaf, Aug 17, 2010

Hi, thematron, the same thing happened when I ran the flashcard preview. In your list at the bottom of the page it appears correct, but in the player it shows up as "la profesin," dropping the "o" or "ó" altogether.

I have no idea why this should happen. Let me suggest that you open the set to edit it, backspace over the entire entry on both sides, put something else there (just a random word to take up space in the queue) and add the word again at the very bottom of the list. That might fix it if there's a phantom character floating in there that we're not seeing.

I've never had this happen to me and I've made a lot of flashcards. I've saved this set as a fave for me so I can look at it again if you want me to.

SpanishDict Learn Spanish 2 Final A. The word is la profesión. It seems to be spelled correctly in my list when I went to edit it, but in the player it has doesn't have to ó.

By the way, if it is possible, it would be nice to also include the upside down question mark in the flashcard player. I had a lot of questions, but you get marked wrong when you don't write it exact--and you can't if you don't have the upside down question mark.

Thanks for taking the time.

What's the name of your set? I'll try to reproduce the problem by using the set myself.
