Website Issues

Some mobile users have been seeing an issue where they can’t see which questions they got right/wrong since early this week.

My apologies for this, it was certainly not intentional.

Unfortunately, it’s caused by mobile browser caching (storing some resources from the website) and not retrieving the updated versions. This makes it tricky for me to fix.

In the meantime, opening your browser in a private or incognito tab seems to have fixed it for everyone so far (or clearing your browser cache).

Apologies for the disruption, and please let me know if this doesn’t fix it for you.

Sorry for the break. If there are any remaining issues please get in touch at qotdenquiries@gmail.com

Website Downtime

 Apologies for the downtime that quizoftheday is currently experiencing. In upgrading a piece of the technology that the website is built on I inadvertently broke just about everything.

I’m working on getting it up and running and hope to do so in the next day or so.
