Small bug fixes, etc.

Previously, when a prompt was really long, it'd push everything to the left:

Now, the place for typing your answer and the "Ignore", "Learn later", etc. options should always be shown in the center of the screen:

My Little Word Land should now have a better chance of working on older devices! 🙂

The way this works is that the site tries to load a relatively small, fast piece of code that's meant for up-to-date browsers, and if that fails, it tries to load a large piece of code that should be more compatible with older browsers.

neoncube

I've improved compatibility for older devices again 🙂 This was more difficult than it sounds, haha.

neoncube

Aaaand… I've improved compatibility once again! 🙂

I think that's probably as compatible as things are going to get for now, haha.

neoncube

It turns out that the work that I'd been doing on backwards compatibility had only been working up until the point when someone logged in, at which point the site would start crashing again XD

Hopefully this should be fixed, now 🙂

I've improved the registration page so that it tells you if the email address or username that you're trying to register with is already in use:

Previously, the site wouldn't check if the username or email that you were trying to register with was taken until after you'd clicked the link in your activation email and entered a new password for your account, which was confusing.

Hydroptere

thanks for your work and time man, again and again

hope we are all well

neoncube

Thanks, Hydroptere ^_^

Things are well :)

I'm just wrapping up a 6 month visit to my hometown and getting ready to head back to China again. It's been nice :)

Hydroptere

but home is China now…. or?

good to know all is well!

neoncube

Hydroptere Yes… kind of! XD

I've been bouncing back and forth between China and the U.S. for the last year or so. Hoping to find a nice Chinese girl and settle down 🙂

Cinnabar

Don't know if this is the right place but I just wanted to say thank you for creating and caring for this place. Found it a few days ago through recommendation and it's very helpful! I hope the page keeps running for a long time to come.

neoncube

Thanks, Cinnabar ! ^_^

I've been really happy to have had the opportunity to work on this site and to have had so many people use it! :)

neoncube

I accidentally just released some updates to the site. I think they should be stable, but if anyone notices any bugs, please let me know!

neoncube

It looks like the release of the new quick edit feature broke editing a course's basic information. This should now be fixed, and I've also added a "Saved" message:

neoncube

Courses were showing up as empty for a few minutes today while I released a new update to the site's backend. I try not to do things like this very often, but in this case, I didn't really see a good way around it. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Everything should be working now, but if you notice any strange behaviour, please let me know! 🙂

neoncube

Doing a "find and replace" should no longer affect audio or picture columns. Previously, there was a bug where running "find and replace" would also replace pieces of the audio or picture filenames, which would then cause the audio or picture to show up as broken.

Hopefully this didn't happen to anyone XD Unfortunately, I don't really have a good way to check.

neoncube

It's now possible to see which words are ignored! 🙂

To do this, show ignored words, as before:

Ignored words now say "Ignored" in the "Remembered" column:

Sorry I didn't get around to adding something like this sooner! XD

neoncube

I've improved backwards compatibility with older browsers. Thanks to @Bicinno for letting me know that things were broken! 🙂

I've also fixed a bug where I wasn't getting emailed when JavaScript errors occurred on the site. When this feature was first released, I figured that I didn't want to get flooded with error emails if something went horribly wrong, so I wrote the code such that whenever an error occured, it would check if there had been more than 10 errors in the last 24 hours, and if so, it wouldn't email me. Instead of working as intended, the code ended up never email me when there was a constant influx of errors XD

Anyway, this has been fixed, so I should start getting emails when JavaScript errors occur, again 🙂

neoncube

I'm running a speed improvement experiment on the beta site. If you notice anything that's broken, please let me know 🙂

neoncube

The speed improvement was a success 🙂
