Haven’t read the comments above so sorry if this is a repeat comment...

The pictures at the top of the mail screen on either side of the “Send a note to player” box don’t fit the width on my phone. The pencil and pad of paper hang off the screen to the right.

Edit: The rest of the mail page looks good to me!

i don't know if this belongs here. but, since it seems to be connected to your work reconstructing the site, I figured I'd put it here.
you have gotten rid of the instant game that uses the old flash system. but, that also gets rid of the "just a minute" mini-badge. did you mean to do that? and, if so, someone needs to write on that challenge page that the badge is retired.
thank you.

Goodreporter, Terry said somewhere that he is looking into changing the play for that mini-badge, so it is not retired, just in abeyance.

Absolutely loving the GM feature of being able to pin challenges.

Any chance of adding that feature to quiz lists? Some are a bit lengthy to get through in one go.

Also would it be possible to put an edit/create link on the Quiz List tab of our profiles? Thanks for considering.

hey mate
I have tried to get onto the forums repeatedly to post this but it won't let me get on, so I gave up.
Can you please pass this on to the relevant people regarding the Funtrivia site.
Cheers smile


Hi there
I would like to express my disappointment at yesterdays decision to get rid of the "Classes" on the Funtrivia webpage. Being a member of my particular "class" was my incentive to return daily. Although she didn't know it, I had an unofficial competition with another user and kept trying to stay in front of her whilst at the same time try to claw my way to the #3 spot over time (Trying to get to the top 2 spots was too ambitious, those two users will never be beaten! Ever!) Over the past few years I enjoyed playing quizzes and watching my ranking creep closer to the coveted position I was trying to achieve. But your decision to remove the classes has ended that. I am sure you had reasons for it, but it is still a disappointment not to have that goal anymore.

Yours
Tony (Adelaide)

I can see the classes and rankings. Were they perhaps gone and then added back? I never noticed they were missing...

Also, the inbox for PMs looks much better now on my phone and fits nicely without the two images at the top.

No, it was NOT a GM privilege before, but it is now.

I know that I've seen this question answered, but I can't find it now. I need to do a quiz by a certain author for my Daily Challenge today. Putting the author's name into the "Search" box does not work. I've tried looking at a few other places (author lists, etc.) to find the author (miaow), but have had no success.

The name in the search box should work. Copy and paste it to make sure you have it exactly right. (O and 0, for example, are easily misread.)

Yes, I did that... copy/pasted from the Challenge (checked for extra spaces), and also tried typing it in. No go.

I've always found the search box from your profile page to be more effective for finding people than the one on the homepage. Here's the player you're looking for: http://www.funtrivia.com/profile.cfm?player=miaow

Verbonica, if you go to your OWN profile and use the 'Search for player' box towards the upper right, that should work for you. Meantime:

Terry will need to look at this to see why it isn't working from the search box. I've tried, and it doesn't find this player, although a few other names I tried at random did come up.

I suspect it may be related to the Cats mini. I recall getting a message once long ago when the word I entered looking for something was suspected of trying to use the search as a shortcut for finding dog quizzes.

The only problem I have with the new site is that there's no search option from my profile when I'm using my phone so if a player doesn't come up in a home page search there's no way to find them. Unless... they happen to be registered on the forums so I found 'miaow' by checking the userlist, then going from there to quizzyland profile. A long way round but useful in some cases.

I lost my internet and everything else we all need to survive, and am only just back.

But... my FT Mail is still "large and in charge" and just weird.

If I click on a message to respond to it, it all goes back to the way it was. And the "way it was" is the way it is in here, in Forums.

It's big, it's bright but that may be because there is so much that is just white, and it's still weird.

It looks like it's not just happening to me.

If it would help, please feel free to look at my inbox. If it won't help, I don't know how else to explain what it's doing.

Thanks for your help.
