Hello and thank you in advance for your help.

I read the old postings about case sensitivity, and the final outcome was that funtrivia is NOT case sensitive. Therefore capitals or no capitals does not change if the answer is correct or not.

I just recieved two correction notices on my quiz, "Who Painted Me" in the Humanities Art section from players both stating they lost points since they capitalized, and my accepted answers were not capitalized. The editor on my quiz, the great Jazzkickkazz, told me funtrivia is not case sensitive, so there was no need to inform players not to use capitals.

If this has changed, my quiz needs updating, so please let me know!

This hasn't changed. Check your answers carefully to make sure that there is not an extra space after them. This is the most common quizmaker error. Otherwise, it's most likely that the quiztaker spelled something wrong, put in an extra space, or some other error.

Thank you Crisw! I checked but I didn't have any uneeded spaces. (unless you consider the space between the answer and the "&" sign) I'll definitely watch for those extra spaces on my future quizzes though!

It's usually just that people spell something wrong and don't realise it, then see that they wrote it in a different case so think that is why they were marked wrong.
