Eliminate silly GIF on level up

Is there any way to get rid of the cheesy celebration gif that pops up when a new level is reached. It’s childish and requires that it be dismissed before proceeding. VERY annoying when it pops up in the middle of a run.

I understand others have posted about them as well, so I’m just voicing another opinion against them.

Other than that I’m enjoying clozemaster. I think it’s going to be very effective for me.

You can turn off the level-up notification via the “Game Settings”. The setting pane is not accessible from “Account” settings under the dashboard, so you need to start playing a lesson (either “play” or “review” mode).

Browser Version on a PC

Scroll down to the bottom.

iOS Version
The gear icon is on the right upper side on the iOS app.

Hope this helps and keep enjoying Clozemaster!

Thank you so much for the fast reply. Lots of useful stuff on that panel.

Very happy with clozemaster overall. I think the audio files might be the clearest I’ve encountered on any of these language apps. I have a hearing disability which makes learning to speak a language very challenging. I have very little difficulty understanding the Norwegian clozemaster files.

Thanks again.

No way remove it! It’s just a few tiny seconds of lighthearted fun during a solid couple of hours learning. Compare it with Duo and this quick popup will seem like absolutely nothing! :slight_smile:

Cheers!

Actually, it was easily removed following Ms Fixer’s procedure. I got the idea that it might be removable from my Duolingo experience. They have a lot more animations, but virtually all of them can be eliminated with a click also.

We’re lucky to have so many quality language learning tools available to us. We’re also lucky that they can be customized to some extent to match our own likes and dislikes. I’ve been quite happy with my progress with Duolingo first, and now LingQ and Clozemaster. No serious complaints about any of those three.

I removed it on my first day, Ms. @Floria7 hahaha!
The first round is fun, but the moment they start repeat themselves it gets boring and annoying. My opinion. :upside_down_face:

Hahaha! @Roberto.Melgaco, I obviously don’t level up enough to be regularly Giffed and get annoyed. Try “that other place” for just 20 minutes and you wouldn’t even notice a teensy Gif here at all lol! Oh I seem to remember you prefer “t.o.p”, surely not!?

Of course not, I congratulate you once a month or so :laughing:

I don’t mind the “silly” GIF, in fact I enjoy some of them. What does annoy me is that even if I suppress the level-up notification for myself, I still inflict the burden on my followers to congratulate me on my progress, even going from level one to to level two. It also annoys me to have to wade through pages of trivial level-ups by the people I’m following, perhaps missing those of significance (above level 30 or so).

Well, who is saying it is “top” it’s you, not me haha. But no, I rather Clozemaster for its denser content and it give me hope to know the basics studying the first 3,2K sentences.

For me, Green Tie Guy alias Miguel Herrera, the chest pounding coach, Maverick and Icemen (which I haven’t seen for ages), and Jackie Chan and Chris Rock (ditto). That said, I only have them on in French these days.

Agreed; I always felt a bit guilty about that in my early days of French. Even now (level 64, somehow) I’ll usually still level up once or twice per day when I play French. The other languages are far enough along that it happens less often EXCEPT… for the overall level, which I would love to be able to turn notifications off for, not least because it’s (usually) meaningless.

The individual language levels are questionable enough in terms of meaning. I’m sure that there is SOME algorithm behind them, but I’ve no idea what it is. However the overall level is just a bowl of fruit salad and really tells you (or anyone following you) nothing about your progress.

Cryptic as the individual language levels are, at least they can be useful as a goal. But the overall level… you have no idea how many points to the next level, you have no idea what combination of languages you need to do or to what extent they need to do those… it’s just this number which stinks up your profile progress and your followers’ activity feeds.

The only time it’s even remotely useful is if you’re looking at the overall leaderboard for a week, month or year; you sometimes see some new(ish) student rocketing up the charts despite having a low level, which is always interesting to watch.

If people still want to use the overall level for whatever reason by all means let them, and I don’t think it could be eliminated from the profile for the reason mentioned above… but I’d be happy to see any notifications regarding the thing completely silenced on my account.

Past level 200 (4 million points), the level is proportional to the square root of your points, which is perfectly sensible. But below that, the curve is far more extreme, which results in everybody getting bunched up between levels 150 and 200.

The formula is the same both for overall and for individual languages.

Oh no please don’t destroy the good in this application if anything we would do well to have more funny memes.
