If you click "Quote" you get the person you responded to? [Checking] Yup, you do.

There was the option to separate the two threads and leave the recent part with its title. I only pointed out the situation. I didn't demand any changes be made or people's time be wasted. The Re: is agreeably seldom of importance except when people post to the same third person at the same time. Many blogs are architecturally like a tree so you can flow back through streams of discussion. When only the first post is referenced all we know is what root our tree has grown from.

PS Sorry to gtho4 for the extra work but thank you for it too.

If you want to reference a specific post, you need to reply to it, not just fill in the Quick Reply box. That is a matter of protocol for posters, most of whom don't seem to care much.

No, more a case of not letting my knickers get in a twist about things that aren't worth losing sleep over. wink I never read who is addressing whom. I simply read the posts and follow it all that way.

Ditto-- if someone's replying directly, the post will be right after it or it will contain a quote.

To be fair the Re: thing seems to have changed recently. I ONLY use the Quick reply and it definitely used say Re: (previous poster) instead of Re: (original poster). I don't usually pay much attention to it either but it's quite apparent in the Chain Games threads where there are often muliptle simultaneous posts.

I agree, GG. I am using the quick reply now.

Usually, it uses the most recent poster for the Re:, and I know if someone posted simultaneously because it will be different than the one I'm replying to.


However, as you stated, the quick reply is using the original poster.

I don't know what changed, but it is definitely recent. I have always used quick reply. I actually, to be truthful, didn't realize there was an actual "reply" button. :P

You can see the editors in any category from the home page by selecting Quizzes, then Browse Quizzes form the dropdown menu, then the category in which you are interested. You will see a welcome message, and a list of the various subcategories available to select at the next level. Under that, and above a sample of some quizzes in the category, is a list of the editors for that category. In the case of Television, they are shown as ladymacb29, Gamemaster1967, kyleisalive, guitargoddess. If you wish to contact one of them, you can do so by clicking their name there - when you see their profile, click on the option to Send a Note, and then do so.

Well I have posted a quiz in General catagory 6 days ago. At that time the queue size was about 2-7 days. Well I know that I have a bad rating and least priority but then also it has not been touched even once since submitted.

Please don't pay a lot of attention to that number. Here's a discussion that gives a slightly clearer picture of how the queues actually work. http://www.funtrivia.com/bb.cfm?action=details&qnid=27853&boardid=2222222 Kyle especially has a long post there that might put it in perspective for you.
