No kidding. Even if the requirements for submitting quizzes were increased, there's still a sea of quality authors submitting quizzes, particularly if they've been harvesting them in Word and then unload them all at once. Perhaps it's best not to look at the numbers - keep your head held high and the quizzes will get taken care of bit by bit. This crash will not be the end!

As crossword creation isn't temporarily disabled, has there been an increase, amongst those who are able to create them, of crossword submissions or has it remained constant?

I for one am creating more crosswords as quiz creation is disabled.

My one and only attempt at a crossword has been stagnant for months lol - everytime I think I've "got it" something else goes wrong and the whole thing needs changing round etc - one of these days I WILL finish it but by then Terry will probably be retired rather than on vacation

Very true. And by the way, most of my hypotheses above, it seems, were pretty much wrong. The queue wait times page is definitely jacked - it's not just a case of "GIGO".

I was about to recommend the quiz "FunTrivia: Behind the Scenes" as a way of justifying my grevious misconceptions (hey, I write in SQL these days), but I see that quiz has been deleted. The horror, the horror.

Just curious here -- can one write a "diagramless" crossword, or is it limited to full fledged crosswords?

I don't know what's in store down the road, but right now only conventional crosswords are accepted.

Sara-

It's working OK for everyone else. What specific problem are you having when you try to create a quiz?
