When I look at "Newest games," there are currently only three listed for today, August 17th. However, when I look at "Unplayed games," there are 18 new ones listed for today. I am curious as to why some of those new unplayed games are not showing up on the "Newest games" list.

Glitches, burps, burbles, willful software, gremlins and leprechauns, all of which abound at FT.

I just checked the game page, Leapday. I'm showing 125 pages of 'Newest Games', with 65 games labeled 'New' (means posted in the last two days). Also checked 'Unplayed Games' (for me) and it shows only 123 pages, with 54 games labeled 'New'. Weird.

Unless you live in Quizzyland, you HAVE to have more than 18 unplayed games and 3 'New' ones.

This is not an explanation, I can't explain why you got those numbers. It may be totally different in an hour.

We've discovered that our Quizzyland is something like a Pandora's Box. We opened it up, and all manner of unknown things come out. Not all of them benign, either. I'd imagine our server computer has a logic for all this, but I doubt that we'd understand it. Terry designed and built this whole website, and HE doesn't understand some of these things.

Thank you Gunslinger, for your comments. I did have many pages of new games and unplayed games yesterday, but I was referring to those which were listed with a date of August 17th. Guess it's just one of those things. Thanks again.
