Hmmm, good question I'm in the middle of job negotiations right now, but I'll have some time shortly to do some stuff.

Here's the short list:

- allow people to change their email addresses/passwords/other account info

- add a function so that category editors can easily see what games in their categories are receiving lots of corrections/complaints

- rewrite some of the database stuff to be more efficient. currently "players playing the most games" and other stats like that take FOREVER to display.

- the teacher/educator idea received only lukewarm attention, so it's on the backburner for now. If someone would like to stir up interest in the educational community, then I'd by all means get to work on creating a funky quizzyland system for teachers and students. Once again, demand is what is required.

- a quizzyland search engine. type in a keyword, and find all quizzies that match it (i.e. search for "baseball")

- a question search engine. We've now got over 30,000 questions total with ask.funtrivia.com and quizzyland combined. I'm working on a search engine which will allow people to search all our trivia questions for a specific question/answer.

And more

Terry-

What's the status of the message you posted awhile back that said we'd be able to filter out categories we don't want to play? I don't, as a rule, play movies, music, TV or entertainment, so I'd love to see this feature!

Terry,
How about being able to respond to messages from game players?

Sorry, thought of something else.
How about being able to search for quizzes by specific authors. Or is that possible now?

awkins, I found a way to search for a specific author... On the main quizzyland page, click on 'list/edit MY quizzes'. Then go up to where your browser displays the url and replace YOUR username with the username you are trying to search. This will bring up a list of the quizzes that that person has created.
