I'm with Sherlock on this one.

Quizzes should be for fun as I said earlier in one of them. Do we need to be that competitive for  non-existent prize?

And if we do want competitiveness then we must have the questions & answers overseen by someone to ensure everything is correct. I'm not interested in competitiveness personally or I could have said more before now.

Take the opportunity with quizzes to broaden your knowledge of all things Holmes. We're seeing a lot of BBC Sherlock questions now, which are simply memory recall or re-watching. The poor old canon has been forgotten again.

Quizzes should be one per week to ensure everyone gets a chance to do them so again, if we want to get serious about these we may have to consider some guidelines on what's allowed etc. This will be crucial for forum harmony.
I'd also love to see a different person do one each week. I've done mine & have a spare up my sleeve whenever things get dull here, but I would very much like to see a variety of quizmasters so that we can see where others place their focus on this amazing show.
Also, they don't have to be in the same format. Why not try a picture one? How that would work could be in many ways. Odd snippets of a scene in a different angles, or place an extra object in a picture & ask what's wrong, etc etc. With that one though, please remember size needs to be considered. Not everyone has a fast loading computer/connection and I certainly don't want oversized pics blasting me on my screen. So perhaps if you need help with that kind of thing, you should pop over to the tech thread and ask for help there. A picture question could just be one of your questions also to save having things get too messy.
I have more ideas, will post later.

It is so common in the modern world that everything needs to be competitive; sometimes it's nice to try to relax more.
Your choice guys.

Great boss; send me the answers for Irene's I've been at a family gathering all day.

Joking Irene! I am halfway through (you know me, Ms Perfectionist etc, lol) I'll have them posted asap.

from SK---Yes,  but the problem with this,  in my opinion,  is that  there will be too   many  DATED  threads.   won't that clutter    up the boards? And,  the quiz  that was done,  would have to be LOCKED  after its use,  to make sure no one uses it again.   Or  deleted,  which  would be better.  On  this section,  for example,  there are 3  dated  quiz threads that were bumped by  kazza  on may 23rd.   Has anyone  used them yet?   No,  they have not.   so  why  are those quiz threads still there?  I  am  just making a point.   I'm  like a kitty with her favorite ball of yarn. However,  if  one person would open a thread  without the date in the title,  then I  would say that that thread belongs to the person who opened it,  and he/she can use it again and again.

I've  done crossword puzzles,   I've  done image puzzles, (hidden objects)   wordsearch,  (those are my favorites)  and the site I use is puzzlemaker.com.  VERY  useful.   I  then  put it on photobucket and I size it there and Update  there too.   LOADS  of fun!!  and  yes  I  am familiar with size guidelines.  maybe my next quiz  will be a wordsearch one.   It wud be nice to get into that again.   

good ideas,  kazza.    thx  for reading this.

kazza davina and the boss--  I've made a wordsearch.   If  I win the latest round of quizzing,  I  was gonna plan on  using that as THE CURRENT  QUIZ. (and place it in my set up quizzing thread)    but now I'm  wondering,   we now have a picture image guessing game thread/topic,  so  shud I post my wordsearch as a  separate topic?   You see,  when I was doing a quiz on another fanboard,  I  used to include  ALL sorts  of  activities in that pone thread,   since it was my  thread and I was doing the hosting in it.    I  had  questions,  wordsearches, crosswords,  tile games,  and RULES.    what are your thoughts?


Anyone?
