I am sorry this is probably not the place for such a comment. Please disregard my last message. Thanks!

@spookylukey - I stumbled across a group titled "the Dumb homeschoolers LOL". Being a homeschooling child, I was very offended. Is it possible for you to add a report button for such cases. Thanks 😃

@spookeylukey : Would it be possible to add a fourth column of data to the leaderboards, showing Verses Fully Learnt?

@spookeylukey - A suggestion concerning MrsJuanCorderos comment under, which I think might be relevant for a number of us here as people begin to fully complete not only individual verses but whole passages and chapters:

Maybe you could create a whole "section" in the dashboard for passages that are fully learned? So there would be 3 section: Review, Learn and Completed (I´m not sure you need Choose as a separate section, since it´s an easy choice to find at the top of the page, although maybe that´s just because I´ve been here long enough to know.) But that way people could review "fully learned" passages whenever they feel like it, and it also gives us a "bookshelf" to "collect" passages we have learned, giving a sense of accomplishment and easy reference instead of them just disappearing. Perhaps with an option to move the passage back to "Review", resetting progress for every verse in the passage to 50%? The completed section doesn´t have to appear for people who don´t have at least one passage fully completed, so as not to clutter the dashboard unnecessarily.

Just an idea...

I have a quick question: I recently reached a point where I am fairly regularly reaching "fully learnt" on several passages. I understand that I will no longer be tested on those, but I am worried about *never* reviewing them again. Is there a method to ensure I can check back in every once in a while, without having to scroll through my verse progress list whenever I want to review something? This is not being lazy, it would just be hard to make sure I was hitting everything again. What happens if I reset my progress on a passage that is at 100%?

@graetzmi23 - sorry for a slow reply.

I haven't made any significant changes to that. The exact requirements are pretty difficult to describe fully. The concept is simple in essence - there is 'curve' that you are moving along towards the '100%' mark. If you score 100% in tests every time, and are just learning a single verse, then you will gain about 5% progress every time you are tested, and be tested in every increasing intervals.

The first complication is what happens when you score less than 100%. In that situation, early on in the process you can still make good progress with mediocre scores (e.g. 80%), but later on you are expected to have learnt the verse much better to continue to make progress.

The second complication is passage learning which cause verses to be learnt together, which means that verses can be tested before their own individual schedule (because of other, 'weaker' verses that need testing sooner). When a verse is tested before its own schedule, you won't get 5% progress even if you score 100%.

These complexities could make it look like it has got easier (or harder)

Has it become easier to "fully learn" a verse? The requirements seem to be a little easier to get those last few percent.

@JoeDaStriker - the weekly champion is really only attainable by a very small group of people, so it isn't motivating for the vast majority of users. So it was removed, to give room for other things that are more motivating.

Why was the weekly champion removed from the site

Thank you for your help. That's a helpful feature.

Steve, it allows you to choose to be tested on a verse, even if it is not yet due for resting, while you are working through a passage. There is a menu for each verse, top right, next to the % progress figure.

what is the "test instead of read" option and how do I get to it?

I just used the "Test instead of read" option for the first time. Thanks Luke!

Hi Jewel! Good that you´re enjoying Learnscripture! First you have to create a group (click on "Other groups" that you see in the right column here, there´s a link there to help you create a new one). Then invite new friends to learn scripture, instructions are right at the bottom of the page, click on "referral program" to find a link you can send them by email or FB. It doesn´t matter how they join, but once they´re on learn scripture you can encourage them to join your group. If they don´t register their full name when they sign up, you won´t know which usernames they have (if you think you know someone click on their user name to see if they´ve also provided a real name - some do, some don´t). But you can always tell them about your group using other communication or ask them privately what usernames they have chosen. Good luck with your group!

I'm trying to create a new group with women who are not yet members of this site. How do I invite them to join, and how do I find out their user names?

I like all of the latest options available and how they have been designed. Thanks Luke.

Hi Luke - actually I think the way the spell check works is better now. In the past I could type very inaccurately (including wrong first letters!) and just assume it would allow the word if I got most of the rest correct...but now I just need to be more careful, which is better for typing practice anyway!

I like the new review option and the new features as well, such as the overall percentage of each verse until it’s mastered.
I’m wondering if Albanian bible is one of the languages you are accommodating or will be able to accommodate any time soon.
I don’t want to put you under any pressure, but seeing how helpful this site has been for me, I would love to see others blessed by it too.
Many thanks for your hard work Luke.

@dadster - it is a bit more intolerant yes. The old logic was not always helpful - for example, you were allowed 1 spelling mistake on 2 letter words, which meant you could easily type the wrong two letter word - "of" instead of "on", for example - and be marked "correct".

So I have tightened it for that case, and a bit for longer words, but I didn't think I had tightened it much. Perhaps I have tightened it across the threshhold where it makes a difference. If you continue to find it a problem, let me know, and I can change it to be closer to how it was before. I'm also having to accommodate other languages (we know have a Turkish Bible), and due to the way the language works tighter is better for that case. I may need to split it out to have different levels for different languages.

I'm also appreciating the new review options, many thanks Luke. I use full typing, and it now seems much more intolerant of inaccurate typing / spelling, is that correct?

Glad you like it CharlotteN!

Liking the new review options very much. Thank you.
