I am in the habit of occasionally sending along single questions to Funtrivia. There seems to be a new routine. When a new question is submitting, now the author is asked to wait while someone checks to see if the question has been asked already. This was always a feature, but FT presented the quizzer fairly quickly with a number of questions bearing some resemblance to the author's question. The the author decided yes or no, and it proceeded from there. With the new open-ended waiting, I waited for 5 minutes, which seemed longer; I wasn't given any idea of the wait time involved. Of course I will most likely just stop submitting, but just thought I'd post here first.

Maybe it's actually your computer - I just asked a test question, and in a few seconds saw a list of 5 similar questions. The screen looked a bit different from the way I remembered (it's been a while since I submitted a single question), but no slower than it has always been.

I submitted one this morning and it came up the same way it has as long as I have been sunmitting them ( about the last two years) maybe it was in a temporarily altered state of the game..or as looney tunes suggests maybe there was a glitch specific to your system.
