3) I've noticed on several of the lists I've completed that several days or weeks after completion additional quizzes have been added. How does that work? I've already got the trophy but the list is alive and breathing again. This is likely to happen quite often. I have lists for a few ongoing series of quizzes, in particular for commissions in the author lounge, to which I will be adding next time I write a qualifying quiz. Terry has said, somewhere in this thread, that this doesn't affect anyone who's claimed the list. Once it's claimed, it stays claimed.

1a. I just added checkmarks for GMs, in line with quizzes. 1b. Lists are listed by date online. So, the order of quizzes listed should never change. 2. Quiz lists can be of any size. They can be used for trophy hunting, organizing quizzes, or both. 3. What do you mean "the quiz list is alive and breathing again"? Once you have credit, you always have credit. A green tick would help a lot!
Several other things I've noticed:
1) The lists are out of order numerically and with no green tick it turns into a scavenger hunt for me. I keep a notebook which gives me a clue as to which page a list could be on.
2) Is there a limit on the number of quizzes in a list? Some lists are 5 or 10 quizzes which is fine. A few lists are longer for a reason like A to Z on a specific subject. But there are some lists with 45 quizzes. Really? I've done 33 of the 45 so far, by the way. But 45?
3) I've noticed on several of the lists I've completed that several days or weeks after completion additional quizzes have been added. How does that work? I've already got the trophy but the list is alive and breathing again.
4) Finally, I like quiz lists. Good idea. I've earned 124 trophies so far. But like most new things, sanding and buffing takes off the rough edges and makes it shine.

Terry, is it possible to have the pages listed at the bottom, as well as at the top, so we don't have to scroll back up to view the next page?

I claimed my 100th quiz list yesterday but still haven't been awarded the badge. Is there something else I need to do?

^ Your profile shows that you've completed 98. Did you forget to claim a couple of them?

Interesting! I never thought to look there. When I go to the Quiz Lists page it says I've claimed 100. I wonder where the disparity comes from. I'll try adding a couple more. Thanks so much for your input.

It worked. And the Quiz Lists page now credits me with having claimed 102 lists!

Terry-- is there a way to add in a thing where we can see what players have completed each quiz list and collected their trophies? Like if I went into Quiz List X I could also see who finished it and when.

I was thinking something similar to Kyle's request, although primarily I'm curious how many people have completed the quiz lists I created.

When I am on a quiz list, there is an option to Pin it. I love this feature except I cannot figure out where they are pinned to. Am I missing something?

Pinned lists and pinned challenges for badges show up on the top left of your screen about a quarter of the way down underneath the Today section. Terry, thank you very much for the option to pin quiz lists. Now I have to find all those lists I've "lost" that I only to finish one or two quizzes on  .

That assumes you have the Standard or Compact layouts selected for your Homepage.
If you have selected Daily & Hourly Game Version or New Quiz Central, then you won't see Pinned Items on the Homepage
