Hi, I've been using Skritter for about a week now. It's been a great tool for me so far, and I've been able to nail quite a few characters that were giving me trouble through pencil-and-paper flashcard practice (stone age, I know!).

So before I had understood how to operate the "pause adding from list" mechanism I chose to "skip" the words I encountered from a chapter that would be covered in a future class session. This seems to have marked the words as understood in the strongest degree, which is frustrating because now I want to study them for real. I suppose I could "nuke" the whole DB since I haven't been on this thing for that long, but I would like to reserve that for a last resort.

Is there anything I can do to reset the status of a subset of characters in my vocab list?

They've been marked for review in about a week. Skritter does assume you probably knew something when you get it right the first time, but just to be sure it only sets it to a week-long interval. You can get them wrong at that point to study them for real.

There are plans for reset-learnedness actions from the vocab lists browser and viewer, etc., but they're not implemented yet. In the meantime, I sent you an email about a possible workaround.
