Added a better error message.

lovely

I don't know where to post this, but "Book Of Mormon" has been the QOH for a very long time, now. Much longer than an hour. It's stuck.

Is currently a quiz called "Persuasion". Clear your browser cache?

I do see that it's updated to "Persuasion," but I didn't do anything to cause it. It just magically changed! Like Lucky Charms, sort of.

Maybe it just got stuck.

Hi Terry

Haven't used this on my mobile devices yet, but I think it would probably be good.

However, just a couple of points for this desktop user - as the quizzes are now one narrow column, I seem to have to scroll, scroll, scroll all the time, as each question takes up far more lines. With an arthritic hand (probably result of too much computer use!) I find this tedious. Suspect you can't do much about it though. Will there be a switch to go between the versions?

I always use the <newest quizzes> feature. But I note that although there are still 50 quizzes to a page, they are no longer sequentially numbered, so I have no idea where I was and again have to scroll right through every page until I find where I was up to. Would it be possible to bring back the sequential numbering?

"as the quizzes are now one narrow column"

Can you please explain what you mean by this? Quizzes should be no narrower than they were before. Have you tried maximizing your screen?

Interesting, that is a bug. I will fix later this evening.

First of all, it's fantastic that even after all these years you care to improve the site. The color change in the pull-down menus is just a matter of habit, I think. After a few weeks we'll be used to the new color theme.

My only issue is with the links that are not included in the new pull-down menus. Personally, I use only the pull-down menus to navigate the site because they contain pretty much every link you'd want/need. The current menus have a 'Games' option, which we can use to jump to each hourly and daily game directly. In the new menus there's a link in the 'Sections' option which redirects you to the homepage and you choose the game you want from there. It may not seem like much if you do it one time, but if you have to do that a hundred times (or more) every day, that's a big difference. The current 'Games' menu works perfectly (for me, but I imagine also for many others), so can we keep it as is?

Also, the current 'Me' menu has links to 'my new questions/quizzes/crosswords edit' pages as well as the 'my quizzes recent scores' one. I (and again, I imagine many quiz writers) find those links extremely useful and time-saving when I want to change/check something in a quiz, so it'd be nice to have them in the corresponding new menu.

Ah, you're a dear! Thank you!!

Mobile mode currently does not have a play button on quiz pages (not for regular, match, nor photo quizzes)

Hmm working fine on my iPhone. What device are you using?

Can you show me what the quiz detail page looks like for you?

In mobile mode a "quiz details page" should show 3 sections:

1. The header. Small image upper right.

2. Intro: text intro for the quiz.

3. "Available Formats". Links to play the quiz are here.

Erg sorry for the false alarm. For some reason it is opening zoomed in and left of center such that the "available formats" area is almost entirely offscreen and the other sections appear to be framed nicely as they would be if they alone comprised the entire window.

hmm on second thought something does still seem a bit off.

Comparing side by side with a PC, they both have the same six sectional areas which look the same on either, except the third box down with a tan background, which shows the available formats normally, on my mobile instead has only a graphical representation of past play results.

the play option(s) is/are pushed off to the dark blue border area to the right, which again, starts almost comletely out of view as it default zooms in on the box areas. It seems obvious the formatting is not intended to support that layout and it is stretched so that the right border area takes up half the screen.

Device is a samsung galaxy S III (don't laugh, I prefer to think of it as a classic )

Yeah, FT was really slow for me, too, earlier. Seems OK now.

Didnt do anything here, must have been a network issue.

Terry, I see you've increased the size of the "submit" button for quizzes. Might you also be able to do the same for games? Thanks!

Something's funny about the dates on Ask Funtrivia. As an example:


To what meaningful use was Newton's theory of universal gravitation put, back in the 1600s?

Just converted over the main quiz listings pages for gold members. If these all look good and nothing is missing I will enable them for non-GMs too.

The dropdown menu from one's username is missing a number of links, most importantly from my point of view "My Quizzes Edit" and "My Crosswords Edit", but several others as well.

Added. One day I'll simplify these into one link where everything can be edited.

Thanks, Terry. That's great!

Oooh the new quiz listings look beautiful on my ipad... should be a much nicer mobile experience.
