This is a minor issue. I don't know if it's worth looking at, but it is something not working as expected!
I got beaten twice today in Duel by the same player. My guess is that this weirdness happened because I scored a zero on "The Walking Dead" and that confused matters. Backing that thinking up, I have played 14 Duels today, and the front page says I have done 13/15.
If you score zero in a Duel, the game does not register that duel as having been played. Click on The Walking Dead link again. You won't get the notice of your score being cut by 50% for playing it again. You should be able to play it a second time. Yes, it is a glitch in the game.

The one time I scored 0 it didn't show as my having played the game but it also wouldn't let me play again. Essentially it considered me as having played but didn't want to give someone a matchup against someone who scored a 0.

There appears to be a glitch in the crossword compilation area.
An improvement which was introduced about a year ago whereby you are now able to "See how it will look!" prior to submission, is now coming back with the message "Not online".
Whilst it's not preventing me from submitting the crossword, it has been a useful addition to ensuring that all is 100% before signing it off. Just moving this over the page, hoping that it won't become "lost" from sight!

Is there a glitch in "who's the expert"? I woke this AM at 275, won my first play, thought it would show 276, waited until noon CST for reset. I'm still at 275. I don't see you listed as a winner in any set, over the last 24 hours. Are you positive you won your set? https://www.funtrivia.com/expert/winnerstoday.cfm

I have been tracking the topics that appear for over a year and I have identified 619 topics that have appeared over the past year. (Some people have higher win totals because many topics have been retired.) The master list is apparently significantly larger than 619 but due to a bug, some categories (Art, Rock and Roll, Baseball, Flags and Symbols, etc.) are not appearing. Furthermore, 142 of the 619 topics available for play are not selectable as part of the perk "Change the Future", making them significantly less frequent. These include world languages (Chinese, French, Spanish), some authors (Dan Brown, Jane Austen, Suzanne Collins, Charles Dickens, George RR Martin), some specific musicians (Elton John, David Bowie, Aerosmith), specific TV shows (ER, LOST, MASH) and so forth.
This is the very definition of a minor issue. But I would like to see it be fixed at some point.

As I'm not a GoldMember, I can't see my history from this AM, but YES, I did see 1/?? in the topic. I played at 7:20AM EST, I think. Could the topic have been 'Name the Player'? There is no winner listed for the 150-900 group, so it looks like there weren't enough players. It happened to me, last week. I 'won' my group, but there were only four of us, so no credit :-(

Can anyone tell me why I can't remove a couple of messages in the posts in our team room please? I'm the team leader, and one of the members has asked me to remove a post - but it's not letting me.

I can no longer do it either, as of a couple of weeks ago.
