NativShark Day Two Patch

Hello everyone,

We've seen a lot of stability on the second day which means that things are going pretty well. Below is a list of all of the fixes. Please read the notice at the bottom of this update regarding some of the changes.

System

  • Fixed an issue where you could not unarchive lesson, vocabulary, or kanji flashcards after you had previously archived them.
  • Fixed an issue where the Using NativShark header images were not loading.
  • Fixed an issue where the extra credit was not correctly giving users their star when they had completed all of the activities.
  • Fixed an issue where the shadowing activity was not correctly being tracked by the system.
  • Fixed an issue where the dialogue shadow albums would not automatically move on to the next track.
  • Fixed an issue where flashcards would reset at midnight rather than at the reset time configured by the student.
  • Fixed an issue where user streaks would increment more than they should during the day.
  • Fixed an issue where the one-time password/MFA would not work under certain circumstances.
  • Fixed an issue where resetting all of your progress on the site would not reset your time spent.

Content

  • Reviewed a lot of new lesson and content requests. Thanks for the great ideas!
  • "Japanese sentence structure" lesson, 別腹 furigana incorrectly said べつはら. Fixed to be べつばら
  • Fixed the kunyomi reading for 汚 kanji card to be consistent with its example sentence. Both are よごす now.
  • Fixed the vocab flashcard for 良い. A lesson flashcard was wrongly in it's place, so there was a note missing regarding how people usually say いい, but when in kanji, it is usually read よい. The highlighting was also absent due to this.
  • Fixed an issue where the hiragana ぎゅ was incorrectly romanized as "gya" in the kana learning tool.
  • Added a new board to specifically report issues in the content, such as missing audio, furigana errors, or anything else that may be related to content issues. Click here to go to the board.

Regarding MFA/OTPThis is proving to be more difficult to solve than it should be and so we will be keeping an eye on it. Please continue to report issues with this as you encounter them.

Regarding User StreaksDue to the issue with streaks increasing more than they should have for certain students as well as the flashcards resetting at the wrong time, we are going to set everyone's streak to 3 days, which is the max anyone can have up to this point. Please note that if your streak currently shows 4 in your dashboard, then you are on track and your streak is as high as it possibly could be.
