Spelling list no longer available? 2008/05/02 11:06  
Hello everyone,

First off, I'd like to say how wonderful this website is. I believe it will really help my 7 year old son with his poor spelling. I entered his first worksheet from school today and this afternoon he tried the test. It took him a while to get through it, but when he was finally done and clicked the submit button, an error occurred displaying the message "Spelling list no longer available". Then, all his words were wiped out (not the list, but the words he had typed into the test.) He was pretty disappointed. Is there a certain time-frame on the submission of the test? I'd say he was here for about 25 minutes or so (I wasn't counting) and he has about 20 words. Just wanted to report the problem. Thanks,

Ramsey

We get that too - it is very frustrating! They are working so hard and then they don't even get to check their answers and have to start all over again.

We're using IE7 on winxp.

After testing this ourselves, we did find that after 15 minutes or so, the site tends to timeout and if you've been working on a test, the words do disappear. We are working on fixing this, as we see that this is a big problem.

We just registered today and were so excited about getting started. I entered three lists with 50-60 words each. My daughter does not type very fast so it took a long while to get all the words in. Then we got "list no longer available". How disappointing after all that work. We have 300+ words to prepare for her spelling bee and if you can only test for 15 minutes, it's not useful. I hope this issue will be corrected because this could be a valuable service.

I have an idea that might be helpful: If your child is having difficulty completing the test within that 20-25 minute time frame, you might want to type in only 5 words at a time on the HOME page and have him/her take the test on just those words. That way the program shouldn't time out on your child and he/she will have the opportunity to score 100% on more than one test. That is always inspiring!
