I stripped down the responses and have to move on. Might be something to check out for the future for you. Thanks so much for your help with this. Wish we could have come up with a more concrete cause, but got to get on to other stuff.

I’ve gone back in and re-entered the questions again, one at a time and have to wonder if there isn’t a maximum length for questions? After going through the process again it appears to be hanging up[ on the longest of the four questions. Is this a possible issue?

It looks like it did. Not sure what I should do now. Here’s the output.

The story of the “War on Coal “is largely the story of the tapping out of the Eastern Kentucky coalfields due to many factors. And it is also surely the story of decades of failure to plan for this inevitable day.

Coal companies say Appalachian coal has become too expensive to mine. Ten years ago, Peabody Energy, the nation’s largest coal producer, decided to move west and overseas. “It all comes down to geology,” says Chief Executive Greg Boyce. “You’ve got a district [in the East] that’s been mined for 100, 120 years; conditions were difficult.””, “Sorry, it was false.

I’ve got to think it is a special character. I converted he questions to plain text before Copying and pasting in, but there are underscores, a link and maybe a bracket or two. When I did a quick test with another quiz without any special characters, it worked fine and presented no errors, allowed full editing etc.

The problem quiz has allowed some editing, but even that has been spotty.

It is installed in the root. when I go to that address there is a file it displays a zero and is not 404. sounds like a conflict I guess, can you think of a reason why it would have worked for a while and then stopped. That is the most curious part to me. Also, it worked enough to get the quiz set up, but then editing the order is not working.

When I move the questions up and down (change the order) and hit save draft nothing happens. Not the random sort questions, just when I try to re-oreder the questions. Also had some issues with posting some longer questions and answers and was wondering if it were a memory issue maybe?
