Thanks Luke for all your work in putting this site together and all the work in keeping it going. Its been a life line for me. I can't recommend it enough.

by hovering over the stars, you can see the current progress percentage for each verse

There's another recent change which Luke implemented which is very nice. From the Progress Screen https://learnscripture.net/progress/ you can now search for a passage. For example, if you are learning Romans 8:1-17, you can search for only those 17 verses. That can be helpful if you are learning, for example, all of Romans 8, but only want to view your progress for those specific 17 verses.

I find the Progress Screen to be very helpful, because by default it shows first which verses in a passage or chapter are weakest. Thereby you can weed out the weaker ones and also practice them, directly from that screen.

Thank you, Luke, for all of your behind-the-scenes work in making this update.

Thanks Luke, appreciate your work!

Yes, I echo joosep's thank you. I know that it took much time and effort to make such a significant change in this website's formatting. We appreciate all that you are doing and have been doing to make this website a great place to memorize the Bible!

thank you Luke

I have made a change to how combined verses are counted, to make it more accurate. For example, "John 1:1-2" is now counted as 2 verses, not 1. And if you learn "John 1:1" as well as "John 1:2" individually, as well as "John 1:1-2", this is counted as a total of 2 unique verses not 3.

So, you may notice your "Verses started" or "Verses finished" stats change, up or down depending on what verses you have learnt. Any "Student" or "Master" awards earned so far won't be removed, but you may have more work to do to get your next one, or less.

sorry to be a pain but when i try to learn verses it doesn't show the actual verse it just says loading.... i have tried resetting, i have closed and reopened it still does not work. What do i do?

Please disregard my comment below. I don't know why but I tried adding the verses a few times but they didn't appear. After I posted my message for help, I tried again and the verses finally appeared. Maybe I must have done something wrong in my first few attempts. :)

Hi. How do we add more verses to a verse set we have created? I tried adding but it does not appear in my revised verse set.

you're welcome

Thanks for the info, joosep. I appreciate it very much.

I contacted Luke regarding the way the review queue for passages now appears on the Dashboard. (It used to be in alphabetical order). He was kind enough to write back, and explained that the queue is now presented in terms of "urgency"; that is, the most urgent passages appear first in your queue with respect to the principles of memory retention and spaced repetition. I hope I've stated that in a somewhat clear manner :)

Basically, it means that the passages you need to study first in order to best remember them in the long run, are presented first.

Saintman, I haven't experienced that problem.

Has anyone else had trouble accessing this site on Chrome recently?
I often get a warning saying there is a security risk.
I figured out that cleaning the cache solves the problem.
Perhaps SpookyLukey knows a way to fix this so it doesn't happen.

I have a question concerning the Dashboard. The Review Queue used to be listed in alphabetical order. Recently, it has begun appearing in some other kind of order. Does anyone know, is this due to some kind of change which has been made?

thanks, graetzmi23. Must just be my computer.

No problem for me. That came up in scheduled review for me and works and I can go to the "Verse Progress" page and manually test it if that's what you mean.

could someone check whether col 3:14 ESV works for testing? When I enter that reference and click the "hamburger" to the right, it doesn't show the expansion to select. Thanks for your help!

👍🏻 I think I might do it for a few verses I need to fill my mind with.

Thank you, that works!

Kcr21 Go to the progress stats and select the verse along at the right hand end. Click on practice verse. Then in the top right hand corner of the verse there are 3 little horizontal lines. By clicking on this you get the option to reset progress. I haven’t tried it but it looks like that should work.

Good question, if it is possible, it´s not easy to find. The logical place would be under progress stats when you click on verse progress. I´m not sure whether the "stop learning" option also resets your progress or whether it just removes the verse from your review list.

Hey guys, can you make it so that you can reset your progress on certain verses again? There are some verses I learned a couple of years ago that I need to re-learn, and I remember I used to be able to reset my progress to zero if I wanted to. Is there a way we can put that option back up again? Thanks

I think that is an excellent suggestion EileenS :)

I have a suggestion for typing one letter at a time typing: would it be possible to also force the user to type the numbers for the full chapter and verse - so if it was Matthew 12:30, the person could still type m for Matthew BUT they would have to type 12 for the chapter, and 30 for the verse, instead of being able to type just 1 for the chapter and 3 for the verse. It would also help as a memory aid.

Is two percent signs also British English, because in the ace badge description it says *100%%.* should that be there?

I think it may depend on whether you’re using American English or British English @KC49425. I just copied this explanation from the website Grammar.com.
“Practice is used as both a noun and a verb; in both cases, it can have any of several different meanings. The word is always spelling practice in American English. In British English, the noun form is also spelled practice. The word is spelled practise when used as a verb in British English.”

@spookylukey- I just noticed that when you go to practice a verse via the verse progress screen, it says *Practise again.* It should be *Practice again.*

@spookylukey- just an idea for an improvement: On the bottom of the "Learning Events" display in the dashboard this is written, "The calendar and streaks work in the UTC/GMT timezone" I suggest saying it as, "The calendar and streaks are shown in the UTC/GMT timezone" or, "The calendar and streaks are counted and shown in the UTC/GMT timezone"

Sorry, I used "I just noticed" twice.

Hi I just noticed that when I posted a new verse set in the words that you put at the bottom of the page, "NOTES

Learning a verse set is a public action (unless the set is private !and remains private)" , I noticed a misplaced exclamation point. Thanks!

Hi Luke, wondering if anyone else is having the same problem. Some passages remain in the review list even though I have just gone through them, such as Psalm 91 and 1 Corinthians 13.
Whereas, Isaiah 53 appears on the review list but it wouldn’t let me review the passage neither in its entirety nor in part.
It’s not that much of a trouble but I like to keep on top of my review list, when possible.
Many thanks for all the wonderful work you do to keep this site running, and thus enabling us to learn and memorise the Word of God.

@spookylukey- as to my knowledge, you are in charge of the website and improvements made to it, I have invited you, should you choose to accept it, to join the Learn Scripture News team. Because you have information as to the updates to the website, I think that My group could be of assistance to you in getting the word out of new features and major updates to the rest of the community. (The following is a note to others who may see this comment) this comment is an explanation to @spookylukey as to my invitation. If this is an annoyance or inconvenience to you, I apologize. Thank you for your patience! 😀

@FinalAsgard - thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what I can do.

Yes, I understand where you're coming from.

Which won't help with my "hte" for "the" typo. :P And I feel like the first letter thing is cheating for me. It's just that darn typo... Maybe I can find a plugin for Chrome to fix that for me before it's submitted to the site. :D Or, you know, just train myself to stop doing that.... :P

FinalAsgard, you can also -- if you wish -- go to Preferences and there choose the option "Type First Letter". Then you won't need to type out the whole word, only the first letter of each word.
