I always thought that was one of the risks of doing a swap. Maybe not. Can't make it too easy on us. laugh

There are plenty of other ones that don't award retroactively. If you play the New Question Game first and then check your challenges, it is a possibility to get one that involves that game and you can't go back and replay it.

Still would like to know if anyone knows why my homepage setting keeps getting changed. Doesn't happen all the time, but just enough to be annoying.

Mine does it from time to time too, for no apparent reason.

Minor scripting issue with new UPGRADEABLE "Alphabet Soup" quiz. I just completed level 2 which asks for 2 quizzes of each letter, but after looking at the grand total of all quizzes played for each letter, there is NO WAY I played all those quizzes in 24HR.
I'm wondering if the script should read 14day or 20 days like some other mini-badge quizzes. I don't remember if I got level 1 in 24hrs March 2019.


Edited by FrappMaster (Sun Mar 22 2020 01:26 PM)
Edit Reason: clarifying title of quiz

Gold member again after having not been for a while. There's no check mark next to Gold Member Madness even though I've already played this round. The check marks for the others are showing properly.

As I was posting our team scores this morning, I noticed that there seems to be a glitch with the Easy game scores. On our team page, it indicates that we had 707 points yesterday but when I click on "707", the total showing is 723. All teams show a discrepancy between the two.

Mine just did it again. I walked away from the computer for less than half an hour and when I brought the computer out of sleep it had gone to the standard format.

I'm starting to think that it does it just to see if we are paying attention. laugh

Update: There WAS a check mark next to GMM earlier yesterday, but it's gone again now. Theory: The changeover in day/date cleared the check mark even though the game, being six hours in length, was still on-going. Might want to check to see if something similar happens with other games that don't end precisely on the 12 o'clock hour, namely Mixed Trivia, Piece of Cake, Who's the Expert, and Fill Me In.

Got this in my mail today or yesterday: Gold Member Madness: Winner Challenge Badge, but the picture was missing. This is the link for the pic: https://www.funtrivia.com/img/badge/291.gif

Looks like it should have been this one: https://www.funtrivia.com/img/bests/291-1.png

In the Fifty-Fifty game level 1 I was first but a guest player beat my score making me second from I thought since their scores didn't mean anything I would get the point but it shows no winner in that level at all it seems I've seen scored that way in the past?3:OOpm game.

Guest scores are not recorded on lists of winners and guests are unable to earn winner points. You did not win the 3pm
50-50 Game. A guest player did.

Yes I'm well aware of that but I thought as a paying player we bumped guests from their spots as if they were never there I believed I Have seen this before?

If by "paying player" you mean a gold member, no, being a gold member does not allow a player to bump another player out of first place. I would have more Expert wins, Champion and regular, if that was true. If you mean a registered player at FunTrivia, gold or not, being able to bump a winner out of first place, that doesn't hold true either. If you don't win the game, you are not listed as the winner and cannot be awarded win points.

Another example of this is the Monster Masher mini badge. For that you have to have the top score in 30 topic mashes within a 30 day period. (I think, I might have gotten the time frame incorrect.) However, if a guest player has the top score of 990 and you (or any player) score 989, you do not get to dethrone the guest from having that win.

An exception to listing Guest plays on topic mashes is when a mash appears as a Duel topic. So many people complained of seeing Guest scores in the top scores that Terry fixed it so we do not see Guest scores in Duel topics. Guest scores never had any impact on registered players in the Duels.

If you pay and get a worse score, money does not give you a better score.

What I'm saying somebody who is JUST VISTING yes they don't pay also they don't score points all they do is screw players that are trying for BADGES and UPGRADES.
