What small and stupid thing has recently gotten your goat?


Mine would be spell checks that never give you the right suggestion for what you want even though you only barely misspelled something.

If you don't like what other people are stating which is their opinion why would you make fun of it and then state yours if you are just going to have someone make fun of yours as well so just do things to agree with one another.

I'm not sure where that came from, Jaefa, but as you only registered a few hours ago I'd be surprised if it was FT-related; I hope it's not anyway. As you're new here I'll assume that you don't know yet that on FT we try to be family-friendly, no religion, no politics, and no swearing at/about other people/things either. So I'm going to edit your message a little bit and hope that whatever was bugging you is fixed soon enough. Oh, and welcome to FunTrivia. It's nice here, really it is. :)

HI - can someone help me with this one please?

I got the daily challenge to play 5 quizzes with fewer than 50 ratings but can't seem to find on any quiz page how many ratings a quiz has, despite what it says on the challenge text as below.

Find five quizzes, online for over a month, that have fewer than 100 ratings. Play and rate them.

* You can find how many ratings a quiz has on the details page for each quiz. It is listed next to the text Rated:.

I can only see the number of times a quiz has been played but no ratings are shown. Grateful for someone to point me in the right direction - thanks in advance

Click on the number of plays and you'll get a screen which tells you the number of ratings That text needs amending but once you know where to look the info is visible.

Three times in the last few days I've seen people using "emergent" when the wording suggests that "emergency" is what they meant. I know and support that language changes, but "emergent" is already a useful word with a totally different meaning.

Or maybe it's just autocorrect and I need to get over myself.

I have a daily challenge of playing a new quiz within 40 minutes of it going online, and four quizzes were posted in a single ten minute period while I wasn't paying attention.

Just accidentally hit submit on a new photo match quiz when I was only halfway done. Pretty frustrating.

Hello. I don't know how often this thread is read by anyone who can help, but I have just made Senior Dean (literally yesterday), and according to the "My Prestige" page, I should be receiving 1 extra Crystal Ball guess _before_ the 45 minutes are up.

I tried several times yesterday to make the extra guess, only to be rebuffed. I reasoned that perhaps my status would have to be updated overnight, or for the new FT week (which started today), but the problem persists (again, tried several times). There is no notice that this perk only applies to Gold Members, so I'm baffled.

Thanks in advance for sorting this out for me. Not a big deal, just a small, annoying thing.

I've reported that, Eruditio. I suspect that "perk" no longer exists (I can't use it either) but that the text was written before the final ranks list was adjusted prior to launch of the new system and wasn't altered to take account of the adjustment. I'm sure someone will let us know what has happened.

Ah, okay, thank you, Flopsy.

Obviously not a big problem, but I thought that if I was having it, others might, too. If it is an error, perhaps just removing that text from the Prestige page would clear that up. I'm a little sad, though, because I sure could have used that extra guess in Crystal Ball...

Sorry, Eruditio, but that perk was apparently an idea which was in an early list of possibilities but proved much more difficult to implement than envisaged so it was removed along with a few others. However, in this case the text was mistakenly left in situ. I've removed the text now so I hope no one else will be confused... and thanks for pointing it out.

Lost the Pennsylvania duel to someone from Pennsylvania. Of course, more often than not, I get matched against a player from whatever region the duel category is. Is it really random? I wonder.

I've lived in PA my entire life. I won todays game. The last time PA was
in duels I was matched with a player from Australia and they won.

I have a question about prestige points, this is probably not the place to ask but two times now when I have won an epic challenge it says I get 10 prestige points but I only get 5. Why is this?

nikkitem... The wording is a bit weird for the Epics. You get 5 Prestige for one flag, 5 prestige for 2 flags, and 10 Prestige if you win a 3-flag Epic. This adds up to 20 possible prestige, overall, for a fully completed Epic. If you win a 2- flag Epic, you have 10 Prestige, overall, but it's the sum of the first two, so it's correct to 'show' 5 Prestige. You won the first 5 with the first flag, and now have 10 for that color.

Note that while you will get FT points for repeat triples for an Epic, you won't get repeat Prestige.
