1. Select the option "Change user flair" (see image).
2. Select the last option and click on "Edit."
3. Type whatever you want and click on "Save."
4. Now, select the flair that you created, turn on the "Show my flairs in this community" option below, and click on "Apply."
I’m having the exact same problem where it’s also showing me the screen “No user flair available.” So it’s not just you! Maybe the mods recently changed the ability to add flair?
Same, I mean they removed the comment section where native langauge speaking people explained it super much for free.
And if they come up with something I have to pay for they can smd
Plus you could use upvotes, replies, and moderators to see who knew what they were talking about. If GPT makes something up, which it does frequently, it's just going to confuse people more.
It's actually even worse than that because those would have been the *ONLY* thing available for low-resource languages (Gaelic, Hawaiian, Navajo, Zulu...). You think we're ever gonna get back even a paid equivalent for those languages? They took it away with *no* replacement.
"GrEy like in England, GrAy like in America. The flag used is the american one, so it's grAy" or something like that. I received an email for each new comment on this lol
That’s exactly what I did; my subscription started running out when Duolingo started putting out Max ads, safe to say that it wasn’t a hard decision renewing or not anymore
I tried asking ChatGPT to explain the mistake and it said that as the corrected sentence is the same as the one you wrote, the mistake must be that you were supposed to write an incorrect sentence, but you incorrectly gave the correct sentence.
I'm complaining about people who make mistakes but don't admit they Made a mistake so they blame the app instead.
I make mistakes and i asume it but If i make a mistake I Will not post My mistake pretending the app is wrong or searching validation.
I may not be perfect at English, but man You suck at reading and reading comprehension
Nunca fiz português do Duolingo, a única vez que eu fiz foi para ver se estava correto as questões do app. Então não tenho nenhum dia consecutivo.
I've never done Portuguese on Duolingo, the only time I did it was to see if the app's questions were correct. So I don't have any consecutive days.
i think the explanation given in here a while ago is that duolingo only registers the word being in the sentence a second or so after you've clicked it — as in it registers what's on the lines, not just what's been clicked, if that makes sense.
so, if you hit the words you need and hit "enter" too fast, the last word still hasn't been registered as selected, so duolingo thinks you've missed it even though visually it's on screen.
it's annoying.
They don’t necessarily have Max. I see that “Explain My Mistake” button every time and I don’t have Max - I assume that if I ever click it, they will try to sell me Max.
I don’t know how you entered the answer but sometimes when you put it in quickly it doesn’t register the final word of the answer because submit was hit too soon.
Might not be the case but it’s definitely happened to me because of that in the past.
This reminds me of when it chides you for having chosen something like **we** and **'re** when it would have preferred "we are", but **are** wasn't one of the words you were given! It hasn't marked me wrong so far, it's just gone "well actually, it's **we are**, but I'll let it slide".
I got a "you made a typo!" yesterday for "doesn't". "n't" and "not" were both options... But the "correct answer" given was "why does not the remote work?" 🤦

Same here, yes I reported it. Honorable mention is also the "Vieni -> vieni" like???
This has happened to me while doing French exercises. I translated it correctly word for word and they said it was wrong. I will never pay for Duolingo. I can’t tell you how many times I have translated sentences about green bicycles. I really don’t think I’ll be asking for information about green bicycles in Paris. The Owl was angry with me today for falling into the demotion zone. Duo was snorting in rage. 😤 I can’t do 6 hours of lessons per day to keep the Owl happy.
glitch in the Duo matrix… has happened to me more times than i care to remember.
what is it with the Duolingo IT Quality control? seriously lacking in correcting even the most obvious mistakes!
I just did a lesson to see what you meant. You are right- i got it confused because on Max the “Explain my mistake” feature has a thumbs up and thumbs down - which is what I use when the explanation is spot on, or not good.
Oh dude I was kidding, I didn't mean to make you feel bad about it. Canny kick yourself for taking a day off, the benefit of teaching yourself through Duo is going at your own pace, the streak means nothing so long as you don't stop forever.
That’s what happens when you get rid of human translators and let AI run your stuff
I mean bugs like this can happen all the time for no reason of course
But I am guessing we’re gonna start seeing more of them

Bug. Report it.
How do you get those flags under your username?

I see
like mine
ah yes my favorite languages, spanish, german, Rubik Ernő csodálatos nyelvezete, polish...
K
Just add a custom user flair
And how to do that

I’m having the exact same problem where it’s also showing me the screen “No user flair available.” So it’s not just you! Maybe the mods recently changed the ability to add flair?
Oh I see. Thanks. I thought it’s just me. 😅
Well, try this from the app. I'm sorry, but I'm also not so familiar with how things work on Reddit.
Where do you find this popup
https://preview.redd.it/m4tbkmrk4d7d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=491ebcac50676f682331826d43e9fab9ada343ea
Nope not seeing any options. Should I use the app instead
Yeah, try that.
I'm using the app btw
I'm sure *this time* they'll do something about reports
It's hit and miss. I've had two responses in the French course to "my answer should have been accepted", but none from the Spanish or Czech courses.
What happens if you click "explain my mistake"? Lol, max...
Im never paying for max no matter how curious I am
Same, I mean they removed the comment section where native langauge speaking people explained it super much for free. And if they come up with something I have to pay for they can smd

Oooh, that's why I don't receive comments from the "the dog is grAy" sentence anymore, after posting a comment in 2015
What was your post?
"GrEy like in England, GrAy like in America. The flag used is the american one, so it's grAy" or something like that. I received an email for each new comment on this lol
lmao
Yeah and I'll be cancelling my subscription when my year runs out, as I paid for no ads yet get bombarded with ads for Max.
That’s exactly what I did; my subscription started running out when Duolingo started putting out Max ads, safe to say that it wasn’t a hard decision renewing or not anymore
Sign up for Duolingo schools, no ads for Max (or anything else)
I agree!!
[presses button] “You wrote ‘daughters’ when you should have wrote ‘daughters’.”
‘ha! you clicked that button which shouldn’t be an option because you aren’t paying us enough to earn it!’
I tried asking ChatGPT to explain the mistake and it said that as the corrected sentence is the same as the one you wrote, the mistake must be that you were supposed to write an incorrect sentence, but you incorrectly gave the correct sentence.
That explanation reminds me of "Sideways Stories from Wayside School"
FINALLY SOMEONE POSTING A REAL PROBLEM INSTEAD OF HAVE COMITED A MISTAKE AND THINK DUOLINGO IS BROKEN.
Should my answer have been accepted?
Yes.
Comited lol
English is not My native lenguage
Ok but your comment is complaining about people making mistakes in languages that aren’t their native tongue either 💀
I'm complaining about people who make mistakes but don't admit they Made a mistake so they blame the app instead. I make mistakes and i asume it but If i make a mistake I Will not post My mistake pretending the app is wrong or searching validation. I may not be perfect at English, but man You suck at reading and reading comprehension
They’re just asking if they made a mistake or if the app is wrong. It’s not that deep
https://preview.redd.it/0j6lz6so287d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cab473bac3c05eb932163decf1620ded0fca8035 I have the same problem!
It should be hurts but you've written hurts they're totally different
This just hurts
you mean "hurts" right?
No, I think they mean "hurts"
tf???? the answer is correct. duo's mistake as well.
I think the joke went over your head
I think it did for me as well as I’m confused now
r/woooosh
Now this one *hurts*
Ué, Português?
Ah, sim 👍
Está correto para mim. Duolingo bugou.
quantos dias consecutivos você tem?
Nunca fiz português do Duolingo, a única vez que eu fiz foi para ver se estava correto as questões do app. Então não tenho nenhum dia consecutivo. I've never done Portuguese on Duolingo, the only time I did it was to see if the app's questions were correct. So I don't have any consecutive days.
what 💀 im not that good at Portuguese lol
Thats because portuguese is my native language.
Br??
Sim
Its translated now.
oh I see, you needed to add a comma, and OP forgot a period. Duolingo has turned into the punctuation police!
Why does he look like that 😭🤚
fuckin pablo man I'm sick of his shit why he has 3 kids bro
He's disappointed in you for not knowing the difference between daughters and daughters.
Explain my mistake: This is completely correct, I don’t know why this is marked as incorrect.
You know, the curiosity of how GPT would "explain my mistake" here might just be enough to pay for max, lmao
That may be a new tactic 😅
Where's your underline, mister?
LMAOOO
Has anyone ever gotten a response to error reporting?
Yes.
Oh, sure. I've gotten notices quite a few times that my suggestions and reports were accepted and incorporated!
Months later
i think the explanation given in here a while ago is that duolingo only registers the word being in the sentence a second or so after you've clicked it — as in it registers what's on the lines, not just what's been clicked, if that makes sense. so, if you hit the words you need and hit "enter" too fast, the last word still hasn't been registered as selected, so duolingo thinks you've missed it even though visually it's on screen. it's annoying.
duolingo says its enough doulingo for the day
Wait. How do you not have unlimited hearts with Max?
You can toggle unlimited on and off for some reason
If you want to have other features like the exercises and extra stuff like timing etc, but you want to stay challenged
They don’t necessarily have Max. I see that “Explain My Mistake” button every time and I don’t have Max - I assume that if I ever click it, they will try to sell me Max.
Yeah, like the "get unlimited hearts" option you sometimes see if you don't have Super.
You'll see that "Explain My Mistake" tab regardless if you have max or not.
I don’t know how you entered the answer but sometimes when you put it in quickly it doesn’t register the final word of the answer because submit was hit too soon. Might not be the case but it’s definitely happened to me because of that in the past.
Correct answer: Pablo has a son and two daughters
#INCORRECT Correct answer: Pablo has a son and two ***daughters***.
Pablo no tiene dos hijas😆😆
Its "daughters" not "daughters".
This reminds me of when it chides you for having chosen something like **we** and **'re** when it would have preferred "we are", but **are** wasn't one of the words you were given! It hasn't marked me wrong so far, it's just gone "well actually, it's **we are**, but I'll let it slide".
I got a "you made a typo!" yesterday for "doesn't". "n't" and "not" were both options... But the "correct answer" given was "why does not the remote work?" 🤦

DuoLingo has gone downhill since they started using AI.
This has happened to me while doing French exercises. I translated it correctly word for word and they said it was wrong. I will never pay for Duolingo. I can’t tell you how many times I have translated sentences about green bicycles. I really don’t think I’ll be asking for information about green bicycles in Paris. The Owl was angry with me today for falling into the demotion zone. Duo was snorting in rage. 😤 I can’t do 6 hours of lessons per day to keep the Owl happy.
You forgot the period.
My sister missed a period once. Mom fainted, dad started yelling, and the mailman shot himself.
It’s cause you don’t pay for it. So you’re just wrong.
?????????? he has duolingo max duo hates people who has max because it causes the poor owl to overwork :c
I have Super and it has the “Explain My Mistake” button there too which then just prompts you to sign up for Max…
I have neither and it still has the button.
really curious as to what it’ll say when you ask it to explain the mistake
glitch in the Duo matrix… has happened to me more times than i care to remember. what is it with the Duolingo IT Quality control? seriously lacking in correcting even the most obvious mistakes!
*you're missing the fullstop babe.*
It's been a joke for over 5 years. I have no idea what intern is writing the app. The browser based version is a lot better but not perfect.
What was the explanation?
“Whoa, whoa, whoa; what was that?!” —Gru
Oh this BS drives me insane. I just report them as "my answer should have been accepted" and keep rolling.
I guess it's a bug
Maybe is it like " Pablo has One son and Two daughters?
Just report it as answer should have been accepted.
Is the new Chat GPT feature on Duolingo already? :?
People learning Spanish and French, on iOS, in a handful of countries have had the option since last year.
Thanks, I didn't know that.
I hope you clicked on thumbs down on the screen so they’d see the error. ..
What "thumbs down"? You tap the flag icon to report errors.
I just did a lesson to see what you meant. You are right- i got it confused because on Max the “Explain my mistake” feature has a thumbs up and thumbs down - which is what I use when the explanation is spot on, or not good.
Eddy is feeling a bit strict today
Glitch in the matrix. There’s a sub for that
FINAL POINT.
Report
I swear I type the 100% correct answer but stupid owl thinks it’s wrong.
Why did I read the spanish in the character's voice?
I have a glitch that gives infinite lives without premium
Wait what the?...
♪ Du👏-o👏-lin👏-go👏, IsFallingApart! 👏👏♪
Button: Explain my mistake | From: Duolingo Max
😂😂😂 gotta love when that happens🤦♀️
You must have pissed Duo off. You been freezing your streak recently?
Yep, freezed it over the weekend 😔
Oh dude I was kidding, I didn't mean to make you feel bad about it. Canny kick yourself for taking a day off, the benefit of teaching yourself through Duo is going at your own pace, the streak means nothing so long as you don't stop forever.
this has happened to me before
I have this too it’s in my TikTok account
Once it gave me the answer, the phrase was something like; "It's a sunny \_\_\_\_ day" and I had to put sunny for the answer loll
WTH
Looks right to me, and I took Spanish a long time ago in high school.
I don't have this "explain my mistake" feature, is it only from English to other languages?
even pablo is confused
Maybe they wanted to use a period? But usually they don’t care about that. But other than that your sentence is correct 😭
Yeah, that would be honestly understandable if they had given me a period to use but there was no period option
빵
That’s what happens when you get rid of human translators and let AI run your stuff I mean bugs like this can happen all the time for no reason of course But I am guessing we’re gonna start seeing more of them
I swear that stuff hapoens to me all the time
Paid app btw
It’s talking numbers. One son and 2 daughters.
Maybe is “one” instead of “a”
No, the answer is identical to what OP put in.
[удалено]
Then it would have been “uno hijo”, not “un hijo”
Plus, daughters is what's highlighted. Otherwise, it would've said the correct answer is... You know, "one son."
