I have just rewritten most of Quizzyland to be more user friendly and a lot more efficient for the server. You should notice the site being a lot faster, quiz editing a lot more pleasant, and quiz playing prettier.

Due to the sheer scope of the changes there may be a few bugs out there. Please send ANY BUGS that you run into to me immediately at trivia@iocus.com. Use subject 'BUG' so that I act on it fast. Thanks.

Hope you like the changes!
Terry

I haven't notice any bugs (except a few strange things that happened while you were loading the new databse?)

I would like to say I like the new look of the quizzes. Well done [Smile]

I just created a new quiz. I tried to submit it but an error notice comes up. I sent an e-mail but didn't use the subject 'BUG'. The subject I used was 'Processing Request Error'. I didn't know what subject to put so please don't delete it. Thankyou.

The new layout is better than the old one, I agree, but I've found a bug.

When editing a quiz, I sometimes click on the name of the unfinished quiz (like I'm taking the quiz) and go to "Edit" from there. This link takes me to the old editor- small error, but a bug nevertheless.

I have noticed a little bug.

I did a new StarTrek Quiz. I was only the second person to do the quiz but when it came to say (on the answer page) what percentage of people had got the some answers right it said 10% instead of 100%.

Terry - I see what Kuu is talking about . Looking at the editor screen, it shows '10%' next to the questions when it should say 100. Is this because there is a limit to the number of digits that can be used?

That may explain why I scored 10/10 on a quiz and Quizzyland only gave me 1/10..

Nevermind Terry. Thanks for your help anyway. [Smile] I submitted the quiz and the error didn't come up this time. Sometime between 7pm last night and this morning the problem I was having was fixed. If you still want me to send you or post the error page let me know and I'll see what I can do. Thanks [Big Grin]

Thanks Gamer -- I fixed the problem you were having last night.

I have also fixed the 10% bug. It was truncating the last zero.

This may be a dumb question, but how do you get to where you can edit your quizzes now? I see no link from the members' homepage.

I also like the new look of the quizzes, but I've been experiencing a problem... I've been working on 2 long quizzes for quite a while. I'll go in, enter some info, and then save. When I go back to put more info in, the stuff I just saved isn't there, and I have to enter it again! This has happened about 4 times.- Debby (Bullymom)

If I go into newest games, from the Members page, I can answer a quiz, but then I do not get taken back to where I was before. It shoots me back to the Members page.

root: the link says 'list/edit my quizzes'. It's in the left column right under 'create a new quiz.'

bullymom -- please try the following:
edit one of your questions, click the save button. Copy the results of this save screen. Then click "click here to continue editing..".

If the change is not made, then please send me an email at trivia@iocus.com and tell me the quiz name or number.

Thanks

Sorry, but I don't have that link either. Nor do I have a link in the left hand column or anywhere on my members page that says "Create A New Quiz".

DOH, it was a netscape bug -- check it out now.

Also, new games will take you back to new games now.
