I need to send on a correction notice for one of today's Brain Twists and I am not sure who the appropriate editor would be. The author no longer exists.

I'd post it here, but I make reference to an actual answer to identify the quiz, and I don't want to give anything away.

I edit in Brain Teasers now, as does Tizzabelle. If you send a correction on the quiz in the normal way one of us will see it.

[Note that I'm not answering myself.]

Thanks, spanishliz (also not answering myself here). I can't send the correction the normal way because the quiz is not accessible the normal way until tomorrow. Would it be best to wait until it is, take it then and then send the correction? I have a note ready to send, but I can surely wait if that is helpful.

I had a similar problem last week and sent a PM to Tizzabelle with a link to the quiz, even though I couldn't play it (to make sure I didn't forget). My message was not so much a correction as a 'this whole quiz is below standard'.

You can send the note you have ready to me now if you like. I forgot about not being able to get at the quiz itself on the day it is the Brain Twist.

Sending!

Ummm, isn't there a link in the brain twist, at the bottom, to send a correction note? I have often used it, though it's only ever on my iPad, which doesn't pull up the box. I'll go play now to check that it works on a computer and let ya know.

Oh, I wonder where I saw that link; it wasn't there when I tried this time. Interesting.

You could always click "send a compliment" and then change it to "send a correction" when you're in the note... It would be a general correction note, not specific to a single question, but you could always try it.

Liz, is that a good way to send a correction note the day the brain twist is chosen?

That's exactly what I did at first, salami, but I got an error message because the author is no longer active here, in fact, the account has been disabled, but the quizzes are still searchable under the user name.

Since I knew I had to send a note directly to the editors, that is why I started this thread.

Thanks all, for your help. The note has been sent.

I don't think changing the wording of the note to "send a correction" will flag it for the editors - I'm pretty sure it's got to be an actual CN. An ordinary note to the mailbox of someone who no longer visits the site isn't going to get any action - editors CAN read it, but because it's not flagged, they will never think to.

Got Sue's note, problem fixed

Really now, what was the problem? Was it a quiz that didn't twist your brain?

That shouldn't be happening, as Terry modified the coding last month to allow CNs to
work on inactive accounts (it happened the same day that quizzes became searchable
for inactive accounts).

Do you remember the name of the author?

Oh, that's interesting. I had just assumed it would flag it as a CN for editors as well.

That's good to know. I've generally not used that feature, but it's good to know that I really shouldn't use it anyway. :P

It was soozy_woozy, and I gave the name of the quiz in my note to spanishliz, and she corrected the error.
