Maybe it would also make sense to include the "has been rated X times" on the answer screen, right above the ratings box. It could motivate players to specifically rate quizzes that have low counts.

I took a quick peek. That is much better. Thank you, Terry.

This was isn’t good news. There’s a badge to be won that the player needs to know when the quiz was placed online. How can someone legitimately win that badge without the needed information?

I thought pictures were going to be seen with the answers on photo quizzes now. I haven’t been getting the photos for the last few weeks with the answers. Yes, I’ve been stuck playing on an iPhone.

Terry, I don’t like going to a quiz and immediately being taken to the questions. I miss the old introduction page. It was like reading the book cover before reading chapter one. I also miss the previously answered correct percentage & the listing of how well recent players did. It now feels like I’m playing the quizzes in a vacuum. I don’t feel the connection with others that have played the quiz. Too much decluttering can leave a sterile look and feeling.

One strange thing I'm seeing is that some quizzes are defaulting to HTML with an option to Switch to Quiz Game Format (for example Quiz number 30,769) while others offer you the three traditional format options before starting the quiz (quiz number 405,512). I've accessed both through quiz lists.

Correct -- they are slowly being moved over. The intent is to eventually have them all in the new single-page format.

Longer term I will add a "set my default play type" option, so that players who want to play "Game Format" will have the game format pop up as their default on a quiz page -- not the HTML one.

That "Scores & Info" link works fine, better than the old style maybe.

Thanks for the explanation, Terry. I didn't realize they hadn't all changed simultaneously.

I like the idea of getting to choose our own default when there are multiple options. Of course we want to be able to easily switch between them as today I had a daily challenge to score a certain number of points in quiz mode whereas a couple of days ago I was going for the Buzzy Bee Scavenger Hunt daily challenge so I needed to play in HTML.

Regarding the Temporal Rift mini badge -

I find the instructions ambiguous, as The Challenge paragraph implies that you have to play all the past quizzes before playing the current day's quiz, "seven backwards by exactly one year each and the eighth to come back to the present.", whereas the Requirements paragraph says to play "One that went online today, and a quiz that went online precisely 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 and 7 years ago today!"

As I have on two separate occasions now started with the current day's quiz and not had it register as complete in the Progress section, I'm guessing that we have to do the past quizzes first. In any particular order?

Or is there a glitch in the badge?

Did someone (Terry) just play with the home page? Mine seemed to revert to a version from around 2017, but it's now back to normal.

I still cannot see it! all it says is 'Invite friend / family member / co-worker to join tournament:' then it says to enter email address to invite friend or family, then under it it says '
Note: If you play in more than one private tournament, you must register in each separately, and you must log out of one game before logging into another.' then under that it is just scores and stuff.

It seems as though you are not logged in to the tournament. Log in, using whatever it is you used to create the tournament. You should then be able to see the Admin link.

I see that while the tournament is set up by 'WordGirlFan', you are playing as 'WordGirl' (who has logged in and played today).
So... 'WordGirlFan' would have admin privileges, not 'WordGirl'.
Try logging in as 'WordGirlFan'.

RE Team Heroes - on the first day of each month, the Yesterday's Results link takes you to a blank page.

Can you please fix that, Terry? Thank you!
