Several times lately I have found that when I save a partially completed quiz and then click on the Quiz Preview Screen to check through it nothing happens. The screen just never comes up no matter how long I wait.

Shouldn't this be in the Quiz Authoring Forum? The question at first here seems like what might happen during a taking of a quiz but on a re-read it's about the mechanics of generating one on a template. That's the only place I know of with a quiz 'pre-view' screen. Wish the GC had that feature!

I just tried on one of mine and it worked fine. :s

Do you have a link to the preview screen that I could take a look at? Just copy/paste the URL from your browser.

Thanks

Here it is Terry. This is intermittent. Sometimes it is fine, other times nothing.

Strange. So if you reload that 20 times in a row, it fails some of those times?

I correctly get a "You are not authorized to preview this quiz." when clicking that link.

Yes. For example, on the quiz I was trying to check just before I posted about the problem, I saved it, then clicked on quiz preview screen - nothing. Went back to home page, back into edit, saved again, tried preview again - still nothing. Tried again half an hour later and it came up straight away, and that's happened on the last two or three quizzes I've written. Each time I've waited three or four minutes before giving up and going back to either edit or the home page. Whether the preview is just very busy at certain times with a lot of people authoring and checking I don't know. It's not just one category that is the problem, it's happened in different categories/sub-categories.
