Frequently Asked Questions

 
Are there any videos that show me how to use studystack?
Is it possible to create flashcards? I only see pages for creating a "StudyStack".
Yes. When you create a StudyStack, the corresponding flashcards, hangman game, word search puzzle, crossword puzzle, word scramble, fill-in-the-blank and StudyTable are automatically created.
  1. After signing in, if you would like to create activities using your own data, click on the link that says "Create new stack"
  2. A page with three "tabs" should be displayed. On the "settings" tab, you can enter anything to describe and name your new stack. Then press "Save Changes"
  3. Then click on the "Data" tab. A table will be displayed where you can enter the information you would like to study. In the first column, type a question. In the second column type an answer. When you have entered the data you would like to study, click on the "Save Changes" button.
  4. Once your data is entered, you may use any of the activities, such as hangman and word scramble with your data.
How can I share my stacks with others?
If you have a StudyStack account, you can share your "public profile" page to allow others to easily view the stacks that you created and the ones that you have marked as a favorite. You can use the "SHARE" button on the top right of most pages to share the page through many different services.
Can I enter data but not have it viewable by everyone else?
Yes. On the "Edit Stack Options" page change the Category to "private".
Can I create a new folder or category?
No.  But just send an email and I'll create one for you.  Make sure to specify what page the new folder should be added to.
I saw a mistake on one of the flashcards.  Can I send an email to the person who entered the data?
No. In accordance with our privacy policy, StudyStack does not give out email addresses. However, you may be able to correct the data.  When a user creates a stack, he can indicate whether other users should be allowed to edit the data. If they allow other users then you can edit the data. If they don't allow other users to edit their data, then you can click on the "dispute" link and a message will be sent to the StudyStack administrators.
Data sets that contain foreign language characters do not display properly on the StudyStack or StudyMatch pages. What do I do?
The Microsoft VM does not display these characters properly. Download and install Sun's Java VM.
How do I enter foreign language characters?
It will depend on what operating system you are running. Try any of the links below for details: You might also try using a browser with a keyboard plugin for your language. Then you can use this virtual keyboard on any web site you visit. Chrome users can find plugins at chrome.google.com/extensions and FireFox users can find them at addons.mozilla.org/firefox.
How do I delete a stack?
You can only delete the stacks you create. Go to your "My StudyStack" page and look to the far right of the page. Next to each stack name, there is a link to click on to delete a stack.
When creating the labeled slides, how do I delete a label, image, or slide?
To delete a label or image, click on the item you want to delete and then press the delete key. (On a Mac laptop, you will have to hold down the FN key while you press Delete.) To delete an entire slide, click on the smaller preview image of the slide which is below the main slide, then press delete.
Is there a way to mark a set as a favorite?
Yes, when you are logged in to StudyStack a gray star will be displayed at the top right of each activity page. Click on the star and it will turn yellow to indicate that this set is one of your favorites. All you favorite stacks will be listed on the bottom of your "My StudyStack" page.
I created a stack but I don't see it in the list of stacks for the category I selected. Why is that?
The stacks are listed by their description, not their name. Are you looking for the right text? Also, only stacks with at least five flashcards get listed.
How do I delete my studystack account?
First make sure that you have verified the email address for your account. Then send an email from that account to comments@studystack.com.
I have a question that is not answered here. What should I do?
