Oh, I have nonstop problems, but I never know if it is Microsoft and its autocorrect or its inability to keep up with my typing speed or just the fact that with my reading glasses nowadays the fact that it is difficult to even read what I am writing. But I am a good enough typist that I wish for the old days when it would put what I typed and not some bizarre guess that is worse.

G'day mate me too, but I use Apple so it s not that . I am never sure if my typing is getting faster or my brain getting slower ( which it is for sure) maybe I just getting too fussy in my dotage , thanks mate. - ray76, Aug 14, 2014
Bosque, I also wonder alot if it's my brain, my glasses or my computer.. - annierats, Aug 14, 2014
I know some of it is my computer, as it is a different experience depending on which device I am using- one is so bad I cannot even comment at all most of the time. - bosquederoble, Aug 14, 2014
Have you all heard of 'Dragon Speech to Text'? I don't think you have to type at all. - 007c5fc1, Aug 14, 2014
I've used dragon speak, it is even quicker tha my typing. But every time I say "we are going to" it types "organa" - is that even a word. :D - bosquederoble, Aug 15, 2014
I have less trouble if I use my tablet than the main computer, so the problem must be machine related.i don'lt use predictive writing, I prefer just to make typos... As you can see, if you have good glasses! - annierats, Aug 15, 2014
@bosquederoble...yes, it's the plural of organon as well as being the name of His Serene Highness Prince Bail Prestor Organa...your dragon is very learned :-) - 007c5fc1, Aug 15, 2014

About 50% of the time, when I click on "Add comment" I'm taken to the top of the page where I'm told that there was a problem posting my comment (the comment I never had a chance to write). Also fairly frequently an image I try to post shows in the preview but not in the actual post. Sometime later the same image posts without a problem.

I am having the same kinds of problems. The commenting and voting have been an issue for me today. I and another member have had these problems off and on for awhile. I sent the information to the technicians and they are working to resolve these issues.

I am confident these things will be taken care of, so please send any issues you are still having through Feedback, or to the SD email address here: support@spanishdict.com

As I said, I have been sending them information about these problems, but they need to hear from each one of you and not just me. I believe this will help greatly in getting the problems solved.

Thanks everyone. I apologize for the inconvenience.

As of today, I'm getting that error message when I try to insert a letter with a tilde or an upside-down punctuation mark from the on-site virtual keypad. I have to use my own keypad to get it done. - AnnRon, Aug 15, 2014
Thanks Ann. I'll send the info. on to the techs. too. - rac1, Aug 15, 2014

New gremlins....I'm being bumped to the top of the page when I try to vote. I only get one vote in and that's it. The vote does register though which is a big improvement. I thought this gremlin had received a stake in it's heart, but my first vote of the day revived it. I wouldn't have bothered saying anything, but I saw that this thead had been revived as well.

When I am using my Googlechrome, my default, browser everything seems to slow down and I have to wait for the word I am typing to appear. When I use Firefox which I won't let become my default browser it works pretty good. I'm not a computer whiz but I like to say "no", refuse to download, and do not allow automatic updates. If any of this means anything to anybody, great! If not, it can't be helped.

Did you tried deleting your browsing history on chrome? :) - 003e54f5, Aug 15, 2014
Pablo, I haven't done that before using chrome, but I delete my browsing history every day. - Jubilado, Aug 15, 2014
@jubilado , thanks for the lesson in ancient Greek . Thanks mate , gratefully it has all returned to normal , so i can put your suggestions on the back burner . - ray76, Aug 15, 2014
@Ray...what is normal? Is it the way it used to be now? Thank you. - 007c5fc1, Aug 15, 2014

Yes!

Some days I can comment, and others no, the system is not working, it says ' An error has occurred'.

As for voting, my internet capacity is feeble so I only vote very little. I have always believed in voting LOTS , but not if it upsets my fragile connection..This is why I don't often post pictures any more. I hope you will forgive me, but at least I have discovered the days are longer and there are other things to do than posting pictures on SD! It has been a sort of relevation.

Besos a todos.

When trying to type in an answer, it is not uncommon to have to wait until the advertisement has played or can be Xed out in order to type a coherent answer.

I don't type as fast as Bosquederoble, but periodically experience so much trouble on Flashcard recall; that I am forced to move on to a more efficient use of time.- Specifically the letters I typed - don't appear- thus wrong answer, or go back to laboriously correct for less points.

Ominously this evening I have three times out of 5 had trouble getting my flashcard score to record. Twice I managed to get the widget to correct the UNKNOWN message. One of the times, I simply had to redo the exercise after I 'earned' the points on a listen exercise (I had already finished a "recognize") - yet it still had my score on the leaderboard as Zer0...

Things had been going pretty good for at least a few weeks, so I wonder what's prompting the difficulties to return?

Some theories:

1) the counter spell to "That ol'black magic" fades with timeenter image description here

2)It's not my/your lucky day - negative horoscope... enter image description here

3) More shock and Awe from Murphy's Law . . . enter image description here enter image description here4) " A S Í ... e s .. l a...V I D A. . ." enter image description hereenter image description here

Precisely, in the translation box it is annoying enough when it only puts half the letters I type because it is trying to match the first one or two. But in the recall of flash cards it is deadly-you have so little time you just type and enter- - bosquederoble, Aug 15, 2014
No time to review it- I pretty much have had to give up the recall. Although sometimes it behaves better and I risk it. - bosquederoble, Aug 15, 2014
Yes, I too risk it from time to time, but it is a killer on series - where you know what's coming and begin to type ahead only to see Red Letters telling you - ha, sm of th lttr hvnt typd ...- - - Esteban_317, Aug 15, 2014
I almost always do random, so can't anticipate, and even when I can a few letter (starts with ab...) actually I type faster as a unified word, than trying to figure out what to add to what I preguessed. But I don't look at what I typed, I just assume - bosquederoble, Aug 15, 2014
that it put what I told it to. And I don't even know what went wrong when I loose the points. :( - bosquederoble, Aug 15, 2014
I vote for number one. ¿Quizás deberíamos buscar un curandero que puede hacer un frasco mágico para nosotros? - 007c5fc1, Aug 15, 2014

I read this post yesterday and thought 'What problems?'[I haven't tried any learning /flashcards yet] However, I went to vote and add a comment on the rhyming game, 6 hours ago and just kept being 'bumped' to the top of the post without adding any comment and my vote didn't register BUT when I checked my profile the vote showed there and when I checked back at the post it had registered. I went back to the post recently and had no trouble adding comments.

So don't know if it was just a blip.

The same experience as of AnnRon. Is it possible that we were hurting some feelings ?

Hola Ray, I couldn't post a picture, but I did make a comment on the Spanish Art post. However, I did put in a link after not being able to put in the picture.

It could be that I have never been very good at posting pictures before any way?

I am not here much so thanks for asking

Thanks Ray, but I think it may have been a bad link, it looked right the way he did it and I couldn't make his link work either. :) - bosquederoble, Aug 15, 2014

I tried earlier to comment on rac's post regarding the word build and got the pink gremlin even though the page was loaded. I gave up and came back to try again...two hours (at least) later and when I click on the word comment, the page turns white and take sme to this page here. but it never loads, it just stays white with nothing on it.

@ rac...I tried amiga but (edited for unrecognizable language)

I'm so sorry about that amiga. It is a pain. I sent something about all of this to tech support yesterday. Please God, let it be fixed. - rac1, Aug 14, 2014
It isn't fixed rac...I just tried on the 'wild' word but I couldn't do anything and it took me to one of those white pages again. I don't know if this will post or not, I hope so. Don't fret, there is absolutely nothing that you can do. We appreciate all. - 007c5fc1, Aug 14, 2014
I understand your frustration, I am very frustrated too. I am still in touch with SD about these issues and I will not stop until things are corrected. - rac1, Aug 14, 2014
