Tannie,

Please forward you request including your registered email to support@spicyelehpant.com and we will arrange for your account to be deleted. I'm sorry you are disappointed in our deletion process, but I can assure you it is a lot easy than deleting your account on facebook!

If you simply no longer wish to receive emails, this can be disabled by visiting the user preferences menu.

Hope this helps,

Craig

Craig replied on April 05, 2009 23:50 to the question "How about having an "unsubscribe" button even in the "study" tab?" in SpicyElephant:

Unsubscribing from the study page is available. The unsubscribe option is collapsed under the subscribe button. Select the down toggle on the subscribe button to reveal the unsubscribe button.

Craig replied on March 18, 2009 04:41 to the question "How about making an iPhone app that syncs with the web app (or an iphone/mobile optimised website)?" in SpicyElephant:

A mobile optimized version is a high priority. I'm almost a little embarrassed that we don't support this yet. It really is mandatory for webapps today.

Craig replied on March 18, 2009 04:39 to the question "How about an option for daily email reminders, but *only* if there are cards to revise that day?" in SpicyElephant:

Yes you are absolutely right we need a daily email notification. Currently emails are only sent if you have cards the require studying. This would be also try when we introduce a daily notification option.

Craig replied on March 18, 2009 04:34 to the question "How about coloured icons to make card ratings more intuitive?" in SpicyElephant:

This could work nicely, we went with grays at first to minimise the distraction from the question and answers which is the most important content on the page.

Craig replied on March 18, 2009 04:33 to the question "How about enabling the creation of new cards via email?" in SpicyElephant:

This is a great suggestion, something I had not really thought of for card creation. We have discussed the idea of push emails with question and answer within the email, but that's another topic.

Craig replied on March 18, 2009 04:21 to the question "Why when I copy and paste from WORD it outputs HTML Code" in SpicyElephant:

Looks like formatting markup is being included in your copy-and-paste. Try copying to notepad first then copying to the text box in your browser.

Craig replied on February 15, 2009 04:53 to the question "I cannot upgrade to premium!" in SpicyElephant:

I'm sorry that you are having a difficult time upgrading to premium, we haven't seen this problem before. From a read of PayPal's manual it suggests the most likely cause is that the credit card failed bank authorization.

I might suggest using an alternative credit card.

Craig replied on January 28, 2009 22:07 to the question "Can I repeat words I don't know more often during a study session?" in SpicyElephant:

No, there is not currently a way for you to do this. This is a deliberate design choice, to maximize your study time. You can review spaced repetition theory on on here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaced_r....

Craig replied on January 20, 2009 23:24 to the question "Google Gears Support please" in SpicyElephant:

Yes I agree Google Gears support would be nice. Still not sure what would give us the best bang for buck. Mobile web version, gears offline version, native iphone or native android.

I get the impression that Gears is still a fringe product, that doesn't have a big adoption yet. We would probably wait until Gears gained a little more traction. Possibly, this would be when Gmail gets around to supporting Gears.

Craig asked a question in TripIt on January 13, 2009 02:52:

Craig replied on January 11, 2009 06:59 to the question "Can one build a deck for use by others that is protected (DRM)?" in SpicyElephant:

Premium accounts have private decks, however they are only available to the individual user. It sounds like you have requirements for an embedded flash card widget.

This is not something we currently provide, but could be useful.

If you want to discuss this further please email us at support@spicyelephant.com

Craig replied on January 11, 2009 06:54 to the question "Does Spicy Elephant have a future?" in SpicyElephant:

Fair comment Nick, appreciate the feedback.

We did consider the consequences of pushing users to an upgrade. We think the best way to have Spicy Elephant operational in 2 years is to have a profitable application. Advertising is not a suitable business model for a niche application such as Spicy Elephant.

As far as decommissioning, we have no immediate plans. The mayhem(method) decommissioned list is for applications that never made it out of prototype stage. Spicy Elephant has been a great success to date and we hope to continue to support the application.

Craig replied on December 19, 2008 23:17 to the question "how do i change my email" in SpicyElephant:

Please send an email to support@spicyelephant.com and we will make the arrangements.

Be sure to include your previous and new emails address.

Craig replied on December 15, 2008 21:58 to the question "Can the answer card display size be shrunk?" in SpicyElephant:

That is a good point you have raised. Do you know what resolution you are running on your new laptop?

I think given the increasing use of netbooks (small laptops) it is probably worth while for us to resize the cards.

If you can get your SuperMemo cards into a comma separated format you can easily import them.

Craig replied on November 23, 2008 10:05 to the idea "Latex support?" in SpicyElephant:

Farley,

This is a great suggestion, I would love to see this in the product. We are currently compiling candidate features for our next release, I like to get this in, provided we can feasible solution.

I did some quick research and it looks like there is a Latex plugin for TinyMCE the rich text editor used in spicy elephant.

Thanks again for the feedback
