Terry,
Would it be possible to make this an optional thing? I periodically copy/paste ingredients into an Excel spreadsheet, and that will no longer work with entries such as 'Cabbage x 3'?

Is there a way to request that an entire subcategory be removed from the duels pool? When I played Red Sox 2000s I had at least 3 questions that were total guesses because the quiz was about a specific season but the season was mentioned in the quiz description rather than the quiz title. These questions were from 3 different quizzes by 3 different authors. I've submitted correction notices to remove these but given the prevalence of this occurring in this category, I think it would be better to just remove the category altogether from duels/mixed quizzes. (I did win the duel so this is not just sour grapes.)

This improves my quality of living. That clutter was insane on desktop and mobile.

Thanks!

Looks great Terry! Thank you!

Just thought I'd ask: Is there going to be a Halloween Challenge this year?

I have it from a reliable source that the Evil Twin has some fiendish World Domination plans up his sleeve.

Industrial size laser pointer being charged...hehe

Is that a red dot? *jumps*

Ooooh, I do like a good bit of world dominatiom before teatime.

Hi Terry,

I am in agreement with ozzz2002 in that I preferred the "old" way the Author's Kitchen was laid out, as I feel for me, the "new" layout doesn't provide as much or as easily usable information, and therefore would echo ozzz2002's request as to whether it would be possible to make the new format an optional thing (i.e. one can choose whether one sees the old format or the new).

Adding to what ozzz2002 mentioned above, for me, the ability to see a complete list of all of my recipes and whether or not I have "done" them was really helpful, and also the comment that used to be at the bottom of this list that advised something like "There are still at least XX recipes for you to find", as it allowed me to much more easily track the recipes I was still looking to discover, and confirm that I had indeed been granted a new recipe when one of my quizzes or crosswords had gone online.

Further to the above, I also preferred a completed list of ingredients (rather than the new "1 x carrot ; 2 x onion" format), as again, this allowed me to much more easily confirm that I had received 5 new ingredients when one of my quizzes or crosswords had gone online.

Many thanks,
ClarkyB...

"I'm the Biggest Fan" list -- if a user is no longer active, the "View Quizzes" option doesn't work (See Nightmare and Plodd)

Would a solution to this be to have a tracker in the kitchen which notes which ingredients were given at specific timestamps?

I’m curious why a self-confirmation step is needed. The system, today, awards ingredients with a 100% probability.

In the jumble of unused ingredients on my pantry shelf, I never saw what was new, and just assumed they were there. It took long enough to find the new recipe, often near the end of the alphabet, and it didn't occur to me to see what ingredients I had just received at the same time. And I love the idea of just seeing the new recipe, without having to scroll through all the ones I have already made.

That list also hasn't been updated in a while to reflect recent 200+ authors.

More than "a while", I think. My 200th went online 14 months ago and I'm not on the list yet.

With the 2020 Halloween Badgelet I received one saying Tier 6 and the challenge page also says I have completed six tasks. However I sequentially completed all the tasks (and claimed same from the Halloween page). However my badgelet awarded is still one tier short of the completed 7 tiers. Could someone have a look to see what is going on please? Many Thanks

fixed

I have the same situation.

Seems the Evil Twin hates Aussies more than the rest of us!

Ditto.

That theory isn't correct. I completed six and I am on level 4.
Must be a number in the name.

Or maybe claiming more then one challenge done at one time? I did this at least once.


Please, great pumpkin help.

The Pumpkin Icon for the Halloween challenge does not show up on the mobile phone version of FT unless the phone is turned sideways. One of my teammates, playes FunTrivia on an older phone though and I guess she does not have the rotated her screen.

She has completed the first 6 chapters of the Halloween challenge. Any chance you could send her a URL so she can access her own slot machine?

Her name is breelj

Thank you.

You should be able to do it yourself - just copy the link to her from your desktop. (If your link contains a question mark, delete it and everything that comes after)

I completed now every single one. Still on tier 5.

A tier
I admire
is number seven
reaching this, would be halloween heaven
But up to now at five I'm stuck
Wish me luck
that someone hears my plea
and now to bed with me.
