#526162 - Fri May 28 2010 09:51 PM Fill in the blank?
thedhowner Learning the ropes... Registered: Fri May 28 2010 Posts: 2	I have a problem, i am making a quiz that needs to use fill in the blank, but it won't let me use them because it says i am too new of a quiz creator. How am i able to use fill in the blank with out deleting the work that i already made, as it doesn't let me edit more then one quiz at one time. Note that i have already created the questions i am using on different sites so i do have some experience making this type of quiz. If some one could please help me i would be grateful.

Take a copy of the quiz: (a) if you're using Windows - copy and paste the entire quiz into Notepad or a word processing programme (Ctrl-A and Ctrl-P). (b) if your using Internet Explorer - send a copy of the quiz to yourself (File/Send/Page by E-mail).

It might be worthwhile contacting one of the category editors to find out.

If they hold the copyright over any content submitted to their site (as FunTrivia does on all the content published here) then deleting it will not help you. Your best bet is to contact an editor in the category you wish to submit your quiz to via private message. Discuss the matter with them and point them in the direction of the other websites so that they can judge what the most appropriate action would be.

agony Administrator Registered: Sat Mar 29 2003 Posts: 16595 Loc: Western Canada	I also want to point out that just because a format works on another website, does not mean that it will work well here. Word puzzles aside, there is almost no question that will not work equally well, if not better, in multiple choice rather than FITB.

crisw Forum Champion Registered: Mon Feb 21 2000 Posts: 5745 Loc: California USA	I took a look at your quiz. I am afraid that we do not accept quizzes with nonsense questions. Almost all of your questions are of that variety. I am sorry, but such a quiz simply doesn't have a home here, whether the questions are fill in the blank or multiple choice. Please do not submit this quiz, or your account may be suspended. _________________________ Senior Editor and Site Administrator "I'd rather make one dog happy than please all the dogmatists in the world."
