The FastDay Forum

Hi All, I just don't have time at the moment to join in but I hope you have a lot of fun. I will be cheering you on too and looking forward to seeing the hilarious answers you lot come up with
Happy Birthday to your Mum Silverdarling, the quiz is a great idea x

Another Aussie in, can't resist a quiz

@Silverdarling, please don't post the first questions til Tuesday since so many don't login/post until they do their Monday fast. I'm dying to know the questions but think it's only fair to give the people that seem to actually have a life at the weekend to joih in the fun.

Will do @Betsysgr8 - we may have to wait a bit anyway, if Moogie can do the tweaks that Caroline has suggested she might be able to do. All good and plenty of time!

I am absolutely rubbish at quizzes but will join in for a laugh. Don't, know anything about the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's. Come to think of it, any decade!!!

hmm...wonder if there's some way of hiding others answers until you've posted, also making posts non editable. Perhaps @Moogie can help?

... Hadn't thought of that Caroline, thanks for mentioning - don't really know what's possible or not ... would be great if it was!

Fingers crossed, Fairy Godmother @Moogiewill be able to wave her magic wand over this one ...

Hmmm, not easily possible to do this for a single thread but we may be able to do something by setting up a forum specifically for the quiz. I'll have to look at the permissions settings but it should be possible to prevent editing within the specific forum. I don't think we can hide other replies from a user until they reply, but we could make it so all replies are invisible to anyone but the user who posted them and whoever is asking the questions I think. At the end of the quiz we could then make it all visible. Will have to do a bit of investigating on this front. The other option of course is to have answers sent by PM.

Sorry @Silverdarling.

Your first member to fall by the wayside

One look at the questions and my heart sank. I only know one answer - at least I think I do and I'm not going to cheat and Google the rest.

Good luck to everyone else

EDIT - OK, I'll have a go, 1 right is better than none!
Thanks @Betsysgr8 for the encouragement

My goodness, where were the questions?

How did I miss that?

Sorry @Silverdarling.

Don't worry @coffeetime what I meant to say is it gets easier
Thanks too @Betsysgr8

Thanks @Moogie on Caro's advice have gone down the PM option for Round 1, and it seems to be working ok. Caro locked the questions thread which I hadn't thought of, and that's useful. Please do have a look at what you suggested above when / if you've time, but don't let it get in the way of other important stuff! Quiz will probably be going for a few weeks - eight rounds altogether!

Am I too late to join in? If I'm short of time I don't get to this bit of the forum so I missed this thread. I've pm'd you the 1930s answers but I won't do any more if I've missed the boat. Sorry! A bit dazed and confused.
