In the FMI game this round, I was unable to answer question 14, because for some reason, the blank for question didn't appear. Here is a screenshot to show you what I mean.
(Enlarge link removed by admin, linked site contains questionable ads)
When I clicked on your visual, gracious1, to enlarge it, I got a pop up with sexually explicit ads. I have ad-free access to FT so it surprised me. Not sure if that has anything to do with the lack of an answer section for that question.
shuehorn, that image is linked from a very different site which can contain any kind of ads. They're not controlled by FT.
I have checked the site and got the usual utterly mind-numbing ads for questionable games and services we get in Germany, nothing explicit however. Still a HIGHLY annoying page. I've removed the link which doesn't really show much anyway except what we can see from the thumbnail: there was indeed a missing answer field in an otherwise correctly displayed question.
Gracious1: Please refrain from posting screenshots of tech issues in public threads in the future due to the reason above. Send them directly to an admin please.

I must be the lucky one. I clicked on the link before it was edited and saw nothing except a FITB question without a blank space. I've had the end of timed games not show up for me quite a few times. I reload the page, lose all previous answers, and take a lot of time to play the game. Then I stop playing for an hour or so because my Internet provider becomes fussy. It isn't the fault of FT when I don't get all the questions.

I'm really sorry that anyone was subjected to that sort of thing. I use an ad-blocker, so I had no idea there were ads like those on that site! That sort of thing is exactly why I use an ad-blocker. The Web is basically a cesspool.
There is actually a forum rule against posting images outside the photo thread and one ofthe reasons for that is that we can never rule out these things. I know you just wanted to help troubleshooting, but in that case send the screen to an admin (probably best myself) and we'll take it from there.

Do You Know Your British Bingo Lingo is actually 360,319. (Lolleyjay's post said 316,319.) I had a question from that quiz in FITB today in the 4 PM CST set. I reported it.
Of the games I've played since the new format has been introduced I find there is at least one, more often two, questions about religion or the bible in each round. I find that a bit excessive.
