Does that mean that every time those of us with monitors come to
funtrivia we'll have to adjust our screen size to accommodate a
new format that excludes us? If so, I would add my name to Jennifer5"s
request to be able to choose either the classic format or the mobile
format. Clearly, one format is not going to work for all of us.
Thanks.

No. The entire point is that no matter what screen size you have the site is nicely usable.

I made a request a few days ago, and didn't get an answer. Maybe my post was overlooked, so I'm asking again: Can we get back the 'Games' option in the new dropdown menu, the way it is in the old menu? There's no reason to have to go the homepage every single time we want to play an hourly/daily game.

Awful! To see the screen at readability size, one side is gone and must be swiped to find either left or right. To see all of it, the print is so small it can't be read. I use and iPad. I can't imagine how horrible it would look on a phone.

There is a chance I will add a more complete Games menu for logged in players.

Check out the basic "Game" menu I just added.

Thank you, Terry. This is pretty much what I had in mind. I think every game is in there.

It looks fine on my iPhone8. I can't make the screen horizontal and the Trending Topics list isn't there but everything is readable.

Some of those newest quizzes have now been up for hours - "Countries in Memory Only" (12 hours for example), and "There was a Crooked Little Tower" (2 hours), but there's no hours listed by them in the Newest Quizzes, only on the Home Page.

Would that be because nobody has as yet achieved a perfect score - or is it a mini glitch that will eventually be attended to?



That's how I recall always seeing them listed, although I could be misrecalling. Since it is only within the first 20 minutes (when they aren't listed on the Home Page or in the Newest Quizzes list) that the exact time matters, it doesn't seem to me to be an issue. The challenges that only need a quiz posted Today can be clearly seen.

Nothing has changed in the forums.

Oh so sorry, I should have elaborated more. I meant in the Team Room - but it's been altered now and looks really nice!

Just a query please: How do I get those boxes to appear with the original questions that are then answered (as in 1178634)?

When I try copying and pasting, it just turns out as in the previous post above (1178647) - no box around it

Terry, I think something isn't working quite right on the profile pages. In the navbar at the top, of course, is:
[homepage icon] Sections ^ Quiz ^ Game ^ Services ^ Team ^ [username] ^ Fav ^. Except for the FT-homepage icon (which does work), if I click anywhere in the navbar, all of its text is turns from white to gray, but none of the links go anywhere, and the drop-down arrows, if clicked, don't expand the drop-down menus.

These observations may or may not be of use:
- I've experimented on both a PC and a Mac, both in Chrome and in Firefox, and both logged-in and logged-out. It is consistently "not working" across the board.
- This happens whether I'm viewing my own profile page (http://www.funtrivia.com/profile.cfm) or anyone else's (e.g., http://www.funtrivia.com/profile/Terry.html).
- When I do try to click a link or arrow in the navbar, the address changes very slightly, adding the anchor symbol (#) at the very end of the link.
- Reloading the page does NOT resolve the issue, and the # also remains at the end of the link.
- If I navigate back to a profile where I've already clicked in the navbar, it will remain nonfunctional. If I go to a profile page where I haven't yet clicked in the navbar, the navbar will display as normal (in white text), but will "act up" as described once I do click.
- Though I'm definitely not great at "reading" HTML, I do notice this on lines 125-126 in the page source of any profile page: error: function( xhr, status, index, anchor ) {
$( anchor.hash ).html("Error reading content. :(" );
.
Part of line 193 also has the following, aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false"

And, uh ... sorry, Terry—and everyone else—for the super-long post.

George

The color change perk sort of shows up. My chosen color is purple. The top boxes, where my avatar, location, comments, etc., are pink. Okay, it's not a bright bubblegum pink so I can live with it. The rest of the info on the profile is shown on a white background separated by bars with a light blue background. There is a thin, not very noticeable border of dark purple around the page.

Is there any way to get more of the chosen color on to the profile pages? Please? Right now the chosen color is the color least shown on the profile page.

Interesting MrNobody... I can't replicate that issue on either IE, Edge, Firefox, or Chrome.

There does seem to be a visual issue on my iPad though... the menus are colored incorrectly but work as expected.

Can some other people please try the pull down menus on the profile page(s)? Do they work for you?

They work for me on IE. (That's all I have, just a computer.)

Huh! So it's maybe something on my end... I could try clearing this browser's cache, or something, though I kind of don't see that it would do much good as I've had it repeat in other browsers and on a Mac...

At the end of the day, I suppose it's not a big deal, if it's only affecting me (as far as we know) and the navbars work on all other FunTrivia pages. It's not like there's a page that's only accessible from within a profile page.

After I've played a quiz, the submit link doesn't come up. The scroll down page doesn't go down far enough

Nor after I press "Enter" (because I can't get the submit link) can I scroll down to "return to home page" or whatever it is. You tend not to look when you can just click smile
