I just got a private correction message from a player that one of my games is "broken". It does not display. When I checked it I find that he/she is right. When you click on "play", there is nothing there. Can an editor check this out and let me know whats up? The game is called "Replacements" it's in the Thematic Junk category. Game #39105. Thanks.

That is weird!

When you said there was "nothing there" I thought you meant that the page didn't display at all! I had that happen to a quiz once but it fixed itself. I've never seen the page load without the quiz questions before, though!

Sacrificing myself on the altar of curiosity, I submitted my nonexistent answers. The quiz questions are there all right (I got all of them wrong, whoohoo!), they're just not loading where you can actually answer them.

I, for one, am stumped.

Could a General editor check the quiz over and see if there's something there that would cause this? I don't see how it could be anything wrong with the quiz, per se, but it's a place to start. If you can't find anything we'll probably have to appeal the the talents of Terry.

Thanks Lady C. I'll wait to see what the outcome is. I'd hate too lose it because I don't have a copy.
BTW (by the way) I got a kick out of seeing your score. 0 for 20. Lol (laughing out loud). Just Kidding!

Why Jim! She sacrificed her score for the common good!
Just kidding...
I just got a three on someone's like that recently but I'd warned them not to laugh too hard at my score.

Heather tell me if I'm just dreaming this. I took a quiz a few weeks ago that only had 8 questions. To my knowledge, the quiz creation template doesn't allow an 8 question quiz. How was this possible? Wish I could remember what the quiz was.

Hi Jim...I just went and checked your quiz and at first it seemed to be a very short one...there was only one question, "Where the heck are all the questions?" I fiddled with it a little and the questions seem to have reappeared...go take a look and let me know if everything is back to normal.

As for the 8 quesiton quiz.. That happens when the quiz doesn't load the whole way when it's saved. If when svaing a quiz, all of the quesitons don't come up in green and you hit the back or stop buttons, this could cause some of the quesitons not to load.
