    Well, that's not really a quiz problem is it.

    you'll probably get more help if you put this in the right thread.

    I was wondering how often flagged questions are reviewed. I've come across a few that are wrong, most recently someone claiming Buddy Hackett was originally cast as the Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz." I can't imagine that I'm the only one who has reported this as a bad question, based on the percentage in the votes. But really bad questions seem to remain.

    I'm not sure how many times they need to be flagged before they are reviewed, but if you are flagging questions like the one that you used as an example you are flagging GOOD questions, and Buddy Hackett WAS orginally cast as the Tin Man.

    collegekid, it was NOT Buddy Hackett. Buddy Hackett was a short, fat, Borscht-belt comedian. The correct answer is Buddy Ebsen, who had an allergic reaction to the make up. He was tall and lanky and went on to play Jed Clampett in the TV series, "The Beverly Hillbillies." Two very different people.

    Hi, this has probably been asked but does it count against you when you skip questions?

    This isn’t about the “Never-Ending Quiz” but about the new “User Quizzes.”

    If you create your own quiz and make it “personal”, is there a way to change/make it “public” later on?

    No, once you submit a quiz, it cannot be changed.

    I solved most of my never-ending quiz problems by getting rid of norton and uploading another security software but one problem I still have is when someone sends me a talk message whilst I am doing the quiz. It not only blocks the quiz but the whole of my IE. So if I have several windows open at once I have to close them all and start IE again. Any ideas?

    If its a new computer, make sure you have javascripts enabled.

    I don't know if this is right, but, I think, questions get cancelled if it has so many "Thumbs Down". I'm not sure though. TheBlueFalcon will help you if I'm not right.

    Hello Eugene, I've created some quizzes, but how do I put it on the board with the other recent quizzes??

    Cheers!



    You can't. The only way to get your quiz onto the recent quizzes board thingy, is if it gets rated high by users.

    I think that's right.

    How come I can't delete my retired quiz questions? It says Error: You do not have permission to remove this quiz question. They're not active questions any more so I should be able to delete them.

    Thanks!

    retired questions are put into the pool of questions that are available to create the custom movie and actor quizzes.

    I recently started a quiz, and tried to use a question from your files. I then realized the question was incorrect,and tried to remove it from my quiz..NOT the site...but I was told I had to have permission. I do not want to re-do my entire quiz. :(

    Whan making a quiz question, why doesn't "true/false" come up as an option? I only get multiple choice, actor/ movie choice.

    Please tell me why it seems way too many of the quiz questions are posted by 10 year old school drop-outs? And most of them aren't even correct? grrrrr

    True/False would go under the heading of multiple choice, and you just enter the true and false options.
