You now have the ability to create quizzes. I have NOT tried this functionality yet. Who will be the first?

found it. And hit the "submit quiz" button instead of the "submit another question" button. Oh well.

Re Looking for Smart, Witty, Premium Members to Test an Awesome New Feature

Well Amy, taking a quiz in the Safari browser works fine but submitting one from it doesn’t work at all. Probably not worth it to tweak the code for Safari anyway; I’ll switch to IE for Mac and see how that goes.

Re Looking for Smart, Witty, Premium Members to Test an Awesome New Feature

No luck with IE either, but at least it let me submit questions (Safari was so screwed up that I don’t know where to start). In IE I entered three questions, all multiple choice. Everything looked okay to me but when I hit the submit button, I got this:

An error has occured, the following message has been left below:
You didn't add any questions.

Re Looking for Smart, Witty, Premium Members to Test an Awesome New Feature

I was able to submit one from Firefox, but there was a minor bug. Each time I submitted a new question, it erased the old answer options. But I got around that by just adding questions and filling all the answers last.

Re Looking for Smart, Witty, Premium Members to Test an Awesome New Feature

I only got 25%.

I only got the "go home" question right, but that's the one I guessed on.

Erik, I didn't write this code and haven't had time to really look at it yet. I hate javascript dependent stuff and will probably do a major overhaul to make it browser compliant.

Re Looking for Smart, Witty, Premium Members to Test an Awesome New Feature

Is there a way when we go to Quizzes that we can see which ones we took already without clicking on them?

Not yet, but that's a good idea. I think I'll make the "Take Quiz" link disappear if you aren't allowed to take it.
