funnybuni Enthusiast Registered: Tue Oct 14 2008 Posts: 301 Loc: Florida USA	My lord, do the questions from the bunny never end? All right, so I submitted a quiz and as it turns out, it needs MAJOR editing. I kind of suspected it would, but didn't quite know where. Luckily, the editor did and has helped me out tremendously. I'll be able to re-write it, but it could take me a couple days - even a week or so. Is it all right to submit another quiz to another category while I am editing? The editor I was working with in the other category has no affiliation with the category of the other quiz I'd like to submit. And if there are any problems with the second quiz (which I doubt), they are not to be the same ones with the first one (as the first one is a unique case).

Wouldn't it say something like "You have outstanding corrections on another quiz, please deal with that first" when you try to submit the second one? _________________________ Editor: Television and Animals

Perhaps Terry should put "fix the system - for the 50 bijillionth time" on his "to-do" list. Poor Terry...

Perhaps Terry should put "fix the system - for the 50 bijillionth time" on his "to-do" list. The thing is though, we frequently send out corrections for restricted quizzes. Putting a stop to any submissions if they have a correction notice could potentially mean that we can't accept any from said author if this is the case...or we have to put the restricted one online- but that really defeats the purpose. _________________________ Senior FT Editor (Video Games, Television, and Entertainment) Chat Board Moderator (Author's Lounge) Amazing Trivia Race Taskmaster/Commission Hander-Outer/TRICster

guitargoddess Moderator Registered: Mon Jul 09 2007 Posts: 40050 Loc: Ottawa Ontario Canada	But if an author is working on a restricted quiz, shouldn't they still finish with that one first before trying to submit a different quiz to a different category? _________________________ Editor: Television and Animals

If your quiz is on a restricted subcategory and you are not eligible to submit a quiz to a restricted subcategory, go ahead and work on a quiz that you are able to submit when completed. _________________________ "Without the darkness, how would we see the light?" ~ Tuvok Editor for Television Category

guitargoddess Moderator Registered: Mon Jul 09 2007 Posts: 40050 Loc: Ottawa Ontario Canada	Ahh okay. Like if someone had only three other quizzes online and needed to get up to the requirement of five online to have a restricted category quiz online. That makes sense. _________________________ Editor: Television and Animals
