I wish I was told about vacation situations before so it’s not overwhelming to get back 😂thanks ❤!

[PapiDey-dvgw]

Thanks Ben, it was me who asked you to make this.

[oliviah.]

Thank you so much! I could follow the instructions easily!

You should hit the optimize button on FSRS in each deck every month

I have been using the Refold Low-Key anki settings for a while on my decks, and when I started doing so I had used the RefoldEaze add-on to manually change the eases (I think it was to 131%). So all of my card eases are either at 130% or 131% currently. I am interesting in switching to FSRS, are there any risks or considerations that I should have in mind since I had used the addon? Or can I go straight ahead and use the instructions from the Basic Anki Setup page on Refold regarding switching over to FSRS? Thanks for your help! (Sorry if this is posted twice, I think the last was flagged as spam due to including a link)

Hi, I have some german cards which have german sentences, there are some words in these sentences i want to get translation in english, i added google translate and deep L add-on but when i right click selected text, i dont get any option to translate, also this dictionary add-on dont give accurate translation, is there a way i can get translation of selected text in anki

[jumbrotron]

Do I need to change anything in the deck settings such as, for example, "starting ease", "learning steps" or "leech treshold"? Or shall I leave the default settings as they are, made exception for "FSRS"?

Is that outro theme a full song? And if yes, is it available anywhere?

Question. I'm on a 2019 mac with Intel, but am likely to get a new M chip machine this fall - will it all still sync up if I create a bunch of decks for my students now? I'm guessing yes, but...just making sure so I don't waste a ton of time on set up. thanks!

Hello! When trying to export the deck the following problem appears: "500: invalid Zip archive: Could not find central directory end" How can I solve it?

[BaronPantoufle]

"''Fail' sounds a bit harsh ..."
Good thing he put that warning in there. Will save maybe a few snowflakes from melting.

Why I can see the fotos in the app? Just on the computer and I waited 😢

[IA--AI]

On min 2:33, I clicked import but only 2 flashcards were downloaded, and all the rest were skipped. Could not fix it and tried to import again but same thing happened. any tips to fix it?? Also could you please show us how to download flashcards from jackwestin on anki to use on laptop and mobile app (e.g. milesdown and amino acids) I could not find a tutorial on it. would appreciated it!!

Thoughts on using the easy and hard buttons now that fsrs exists?

[cookieface]

I heard turning on fsrs after you've already been using a deck for a while can fuck it up/massively increase your number of reviews. Is that true?

[naoseipou]

Bro i cant sincronize its always saying my clock is not on the correct hour
