First of all, congratulations on a great site. I have seen and played many others but this is definitely the most outstanding.
I have a little question regarding editting. When creating quizzes and saving any edits after the quiz has been ticked 'ready to go online', I find that subsequent edits are not appearing in the 'How your quiz will look' option. Is this a bug or have edits not been saved?
Once again, congratulation on the site.

Hews, I noticed this early on. I believe it will only show you a revised quiz once on each logon. Try closing out of the site entirely, then going back in and doing another edit for additional changes. Cumbersome, I know, but perfection is an elusive thing. Terry writes a LOT of code for the site, and little things come up all the time. It may be a UBB thing that's beyond local control, but we'll see.

Thanks for the feedback.

My solution to this is that I never use that feature. Instead, I play my game after I have created it. This lets me see how it will really look, plus how the comments will look.

Whenever you save the game, a new game is regenerated. What you're probably getting is the caching of the old game, which happens a lot. Try clearing your memory/disk caches in your browser and reloading. If you're going through some sort of a proxy system, even this might not work.
