Is there an option to stop auto-advancing to the next quiz as soon as you solve the current one?
It would be helpful to have time to contemplate why the solution is correct (without having it disappear within seconds), especially if you didn’t get it on your first try.
The current auto-advance option doesn’t affect quizzes from the learning section.
Thank you.
Are you referring to puzzles, or the learn to play go section?
If you are talking about go problems (like the one below)
there is no such thing as an auto advance.
This screen print shows the end position after you have solved a puzzle.
It is up to you decide you want to continue with a random puzzle from the collection or if the next wil do for you (by clicking the blue or the orange button..
As far as I know there is no auto advance mode available for puzzles (but I haven’t checked the settings).
Sorry for the confusion, I am referring to the “learn to play go” section. When solving a problem there it automatically advances you to the next one within seconds.
@turbam Welcome to the forum! If I recall, you simply need to tap on the box number (or star, if already completed step) of the problem you’d like to see (again).
It auto advances for convenience, but easy to return to the prior one with one tap.
[Lack of an auto advance would then require an additional forward request for each and every problem, which would add up.]
Thank you for all the replies. I understand the design choice, it is indeed convenient and switching back to a previous problem is easy enough. The only problem I have with it is that it is impossible to study a problem in its solved state. As soon as you complete, it advances to the next one. If you return to it by tapping on the number it is again in its unsolved state, and if you solve it you simply get advanced again. Maybe a solution could be if you return to a previously solved problem it displays the solved state, with a button to reset it?
That’s a good point indeed!
Maybe a delay in auto-advance might help?
I d rather propose a “click anywhere to continue”
Yup, definitely the best solution!
@turbam … is it OK with you if I change the topic title to something like
Please Disable Auto-Advance to Next Problem in Tutorial
and move it to the Feedback > Suggestions section?
<edit>
I’ll just take liberty to do so

Fully agree, auto advance to the next one is an annoying feature.
So I started to enter these puzzles in the other OGS puzzle database.
Under the title Website’s Learn to Go you will find the same puzzles where you can play with (instead of forced out into the next problem).
Here is the link to the first chapter of it:
The other ca. 150 chapter will follow sometime (but don’t hold your breath).
I don’t know if this needs to be a new post, but in addition to disabling auto-advance, the option to continue placing pieces after a problem’s been solved/failed would be a massive help with studying and understanding why the solution works and why the failures don’t.
Also, I’m new to this platform and just curious to know how likely these suggestions are to be implemented. This site has some greatly helpful beginner lessons, and I’d love to see them become even more helpful with these suggestions.
