gracious1 Mainstay Registered: Tue May 01 2012 Posts: 510 Loc: New York USA	Noticed that subcategory History: World War II: Manhattan Project is misspelled "Manhatten". http://www.funtrivia.com/ql.cfm?cat=20141 Edited by gracious1 (Thu Jan 31 2013 03:29 PM) Edit Reason: added link

gracious1 Mainstay Registered: Tue May 01 2012 Posts: 510 Loc: New York USA	You are referring to the one in the link below? I do wish Terry would replace the picture with something more appropriate. It's the little things that affect users' perceptions of a site, you know... http://www.funtrivia.com/ql.cfm?cat=380

ssabreman Prolific Registered: Wed Nov 03 2010 Posts: 1531 Loc: K-W Ontario Canada	If it's the backslash, we've got Sci / Tech as a main category. Could it be that it just needs spacing?

ssabreman Prolific Registered: Wed Nov 03 2010 Posts: 1531 Loc: K-W Ontario Canada	I just noticed a new quiz online from the category - Spider Man, but it should be Spider-Man with a hyphen, like X-Men.

kyleisalive Multiloquent Registered: Mon Mar 07 2005 Posts: 4957 Loc: Canada, eh!	Once categories are online for several years, the system prevents editors from altering the name because it affects things on the back end of the site. I'll look into it a bit later today. I was thinking the same thing earlier. _________________________ Senior FT Editor (Video Games, Television, Music, and Entertainment) Chat Board Moderator (Author's Lounge) Amazing Trivia Race Taskmaster/Commission Hander-Outer

agony Administrator Registered: Sat Mar 29 2003 Posts: 10766 Loc: Western Canada	It's been reported, gracious1. Reporting it over and over again won't make a change come any faster.

Barbarini Enthusiast Registered: Sat Sep 04 2010 Posts: 211 Loc: Alberta Canada	agony, any chance of popping in a "hammer and tongs" graphic to that particular category? Might be rather fitting considering the pace at which the human race has been reproducing over the past century.
