RESULTS to follow.
Sorry for delay but after having typed results for ten quizzers this forum wouldn`t allow me to post as it claimed multi-flooding or such nonsense so will have to try again.
Ridiculous!! Despite repeated attempt won`t let me post the results due to post flooding claim.
@Martin-O2 Can you please investigate and get this stupid interruption stopped as I`m sure I`m not the only one to experience this and not only spoils bt stops members from posting.
And it gets worse...
Won`t let me post the AWARDS - so can`t say how you each got on.
Says to correct HMTL, and when I click Post the post flooding message appears.
Please, please please @Martin-O2 @lewys-gp @RafaC get this sorted as it is ruining one of the most popular games on the Community.
I will not allow the incompetence of the platform provider to stop WRQ and ask our regular quizzers to please bear with me whilst the problem is resolved.
Thank you

I had the post flooding message 5 times during WHD. When I wrote the same word in lower case, it went through. Time consuming nonsense really. I have no idea why a large post such as the one you are attempting to post should be classed as Post Flooding??!

Hey @Mi-Amigo, @Cleoriff I'm looking into this now. I think that this is due to an admin setting resetting but so I can narrow it down can one of you please post a screenshot of this error message.

Thank you for your post @Cleoriff
Another example of the failure of this revised forum which we are all meant to bow down and worship.
It makes me so angry that attempt to provide something which members enjoy and we all do our best to encourage newbies to take part in is ruined by so many problems which the platform provider can`t or won`t fix or takes far too long to rectify.
I will attempt to try later to post the Awards - even if they have to be in a different format so quizzers know how they got on.

Thank you @Martin-O2 for getting this looked into.
Unfortunately I can`t provide a screenshot but hopefully @Cleoriff or one of the others might.
