"ignore this word" option

irridmemorizza

I would really appreciate an "ignore this word" option.
All larger courses have numerous identical words that I don't need to repeat over and over again in each of these courses.

There should be a light gray "Ignore" button beneath each word, while learning and reviewing:

If you click the three dots one a word before learning, there should be an "Ignore" option there, too 🙂

Admittedly, I haven't tested this in a while, though, so if you run into any problems, please let me know 🙂

neoncube I had noticed that the "Ignore" button was present, but since it was grayed out, I thought it was not functional. Is it grayed out because of inadequate testing?

neoncube

7shi Yes, but also because I found having the actions to be distracting when they weren't grayed out XD You're right, though; I should change the text to black 🙂 I wonder if getting rid of the text and just leaving the icons would be less distracting.

I think it's good to have the text, in order to know what a symbol means.

How do I 'unignore' an item?

neoncube

alanh Ah, sorry, I haven't implemented "unignore" yet :/

When I do, I'm thinking it would be via a context menu on the overview page.

alanh

neoncube Thanks! No rush. I'll keep an eye out for it.

I'm just relearning SAT Comprehensive and I can't ignore any word, whether with the 3 dots nor with the grey ignore button. It doesn't stick and turns up every time I want to learn new words. What is my fault? Please help me.

neoncube

Ang I think the ignore (and possibly "unlearn") button is kind of broken at the moment, sorry. Let me put this on my list of things to fix 🙂

Could you expand the use of Ignore, please.

Not sure when one can set ignore but it would be good to set individual images before the test, during the test and after getting one wrong (ie click on an image or phrase and then ignore that one item).

I think "Unignore" is an important issue, so I have created a topic on it.

I've released a new update that changes how ignoring words works, adds another way to ignore words, and adds the ability to unignore words! 🙂

See https://forum.mylittlewordland.com/d/219-unignoring-words-new-feature-and-changes-to-ignoring-words for details, and please let me know if you run into any issues! 🙂

neoncube Neoncube - I just found out that you saved the Mississippi Choctaw lessons on Memrise and I'm so grateful! I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee. how do I get this to you?

neoncube

ASL4U Thank you, that's a really nice offer! ^_^

I don't have a good way to accept donations at the moment, but I'm hoping that in the future, My Little Word Land will have a few one-time-purchase upgrades for about the cost of a cup of coffee 🙂

Also, welcome to the site! (And Merry Christmas! ^_^)
