Minor or major issue, the "Last Month" link is not working for the team info page. This one: https://www.funtrivia.com/templates/teamlistlast.cfm

Also, the game selection didn't change, at least for League A. I'm actually okay with last month's selection of games, but since it was mentioned that future choices would be less repetitive, I'm guessing that shouldn't have happened.

Sounds like a bug... Terry will have to check. You might want to play all available games today, just in case smile

Maybe Terry didn't get his own, personal, "round-tuit", for Christmas? Lol

Heh C30 that reminds me of a time we were in temporary housing during the move process between stations for my Dad in the Navy. In the drawer beside the stove was a modge podge of various pot holders and one was a circular shape proudly displaying its name "round tuit" and then in finer print below something along the lines of "aren't you always saying you'll do things when you get a round tuit?...well here you go......"

First understand I was pretty young. But for some reason I could not process how English works just then, and wanted to make it a one syllable word. Luckily I at least had the following thought stream inside my own head, saving me almost certain taunting from older siblings "A round toot? I dont get it. Is this supposed to be a [censored] joke?"

Then some 12 hours later or so, whilst tossing and turning a bit in a foreign bed

"Oh... A-round to it! what an idiot I am! :p"

I'd like to see the mixed game (and possibly smartest/expert/gc as well) also move to using higher precision times like piece of cake, fifty fifty, fill me in, and word wizard. Right now there's a minor advantage in these games from playing first in the hour due to the tiebreak and it really shouldn't be about who plays first but who gets the results in the quickest.

I was playing Fill Me In and found a question that I thought should not be in the game because it required an exact answer that also included punctuation (I got it wrong because I knew it was one of two things and went for the one that would not include punctuation). I clicked on the link to indicate that the question should not be in the game, but I would have liked the opportunity to explain why I didn't think it should be.

You don't really need to do so - clicking that link takes it out. If it required the exact answer, that means it came from a quiz, and was selected as suitable to be reformatted for the purpose from MC to FITB by an editor or administrator (or whoever else can select questions from quizzes to add to the FITB pool) who overlooked the punctuation issue.

I've just played the quiz of the hour, and got a blocked message.
"Quiz Cannot be Submitted
Our system has detected abnormal activity in quiz submits coming from your ISP. "
I've never seen this message before, and I've only played about three quizzes today.
What might have triggered it?

Good morning!
I've just played one Duel game and one Piece of Cake, it's been less than 24 hours, and I wasn't blocked.
Let's hope my block has gone for ever, and thank you whoever removed it.

Duels and games are never affected by a block like this. It's only for normal quizzes and constitutes a protection against bots harvesting quiz answers. If you only played three quizzes before getting blocked, it was likely something else on your IP address (network) that caused the block.

The headings for Pot of Gold - Today - My Team at
https://www.funtrivia.com/potofgold/myteam.cfm
are "Pot of Gold This Hour" and "Pot of Gold Last Hour". I assume they should read "Pot of Gold: Today" and "Pot of Gold: Yesterday".

Team scoring on the recap from the previous day is showing Piece of Cake numbers where Word Wizard numbers should be. Has been like that for at least two days now.

It's been like that since the new scoring system started. Terry is, I believe, aware and will fix it. I hope.

Global Challenge #36 has allegedly started on Jan 6, 2019 instead of 2020...

I think there's a problem with New Questions today. It's telling me I've played, but I haven't.

Either that, or amnesia has set in.

While the teams got their points, the League results for New Question yesterday are all blank. I'm guessing the problem listed above had something to do with that.

In the New Question game, the link for Top Rated Recent Questions (https://www.funtrivia.com/today/bestrecent.cfm) doesn't actually display any questions.
I first noticed this last week, but I haven't been checking regularly so it could be longer.

I think Who's the Smartest is stuck - it keeps alternating between Television and Sports! Is there any chance of a different topic soon?

Update - it's now on to General. Hooray!

I just noticed that if I go to the My Game Results link (https://www.funtrivia.com/myresults.cfm) there is a link to see more results for each of the hourly and daily games except Fifty-fifty. Would it be possible to add a link to those results as well?
