Tried the new link, but it displays the same as the other link. It's an old tablet -- I probably just need to see if I can use a different browser on it.

"Easy" game is messed up again.

Clicking on play took me to this page.

Barbarini beat me to it.

Haven't tried the other hourly games yet, but I guess should.

The other hourly games are playable. But the "Games" link at the top of the hourly games also takes you to that same "page not found" screen.

For example:
http://www.funtrivia.com/intro/playtournament.cfm?cachebust=1510150703&playername=DireWolf74

I believe this problem existed prior to any of the changes mentioned in this thread, but since it's getting visibility I'll mention it here smile

In the forums, it seems as though the link for Page 1 doesn't work on a particular thread when there's more than one page (as well as the pageback arrow if only two pages) AND the forum was entered via clicking the most recent post on the righthand side of http://www.funtrivia.com/forums/.

Currently the link for page 1 of this thread, when accessed via the most recent post reads: http://www.funtrivia.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1180606

However, in viewing the page links for the other pages, it seems it should be: http://www.funtrivia.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1180606/1
(and this would work even if there's only one page total for the thread)

or, this also works:

http://www.funtrivia.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1176864

(1176864 is the first post of the thread)

Navigating to individual pages would still work with http://www.funtrivia.com/forums/ubbthreads.php/topics/1176864/pagenumber
However, it seems like option two may be a bit clunkier to program?

Yeah, there are some bugs in the forum software. The forums are a software package that someone else made. I could try to take a look into fixing it myself, but it's a convoluted mess.

I'm not sure if this has already been asked, but will the "clickable" text that leads to another screen (such as "last hours scores", player names, etc) be changed to a different color for mobile users? A lot of it is black, I noticed the crystal ball game layout has been changed over, and players names in the recent wins list that have already been clicked on blend in with all the other Text.

I should be in the Champions division in the Mixed Game, but I'm not. I see that unlike the Easy Game yesterday, the Champions division hasn't disappeared altogether.

Is it possible there's something going on at my end?

Thanks!

...Also just noticed that at :45 the text is overhanging the borders in the crystal ball game.

Hmm it shows you as never having won "Hourly Mix Winner" which is a prereq for Champion division.

I noticed something today when I was in my daily challenge section.
I had the following challenge:

"•Play 9 quizzes in sub-category Corporations and score at least 8 correct in each. You may retake quizzes you have not played within the last 30 days."

The word "Corporations" was highlighted and easy to see. I clicked on it and went to "corporations". but, I hadn't finished the challenge. when I went back to it later, it was almost impossible to see any highlighting left on that word. the dark blue color it turned wash almost the same as the black of the rest of the type.

is there any way to make words that have been clicked on stand out after the first time you click on them?

Thanks for replying! I recently won the badge. It's on my profile under "Most Recent Badge Wins."

I hope that helps.

That's not the Hourly Mixed Winner badge on your profile. It's the Monthly Mixed one.

You still need this one:
http://www.funtrivia.com/challenges.cfm?id=36&own=-1

Which is awarded to the player with the highest score across all divisions in the Mixed game.

Good Luck!

Looks like it's all fixed now. The reddish colour works so much better. Thank you!

I noticed the change while playing Duel. It's so much better - thanks Terry.

Oh, I see. I didn't realize that since I was put into the Champions division after winning the monthly badge for Who's the Smartest, for example.

Thanks for your help!

P.S. I don't think I'll ever win that badge since I'm not fast, but I appreciate the good luck wishes! smile

I'm sorry for any confusion and to have caused you extra work. Direwolf74 cleared things up for me. I got confused since I was put into the Champions division after winning the monthly badge for Who's the Smartest, for example.

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks, the previously clicked links back to purple looks better again! smile

On another one of the changes:

The new pages seem to be squished inward -- the side margins are way wider than before.

I'm guessing that the new very wide margins are to accommodate hand-held devices? I've checked the settings on my profile regarding the wide/narrow appearance, but I'm not seeing that it changes anything.

I suppose that I'll get used to it in time, but just wondering if there's some setting somewhere that I should be adjusting?
