I didn't get Tuesday Trivia LXX

Postby DaveS » Wed Nov 14, 2007 8:08 am

Am I the only one who didn't receive the quiz this week? I emailed the powers that be to mention it, I wasn't sure if no quiz was sent out.

If one was sent out, and I was left off, would someone be so kind as to post the questions as a reply to this post?

Thanks.

I hope you looked at this thread:
http://www.ken-jennings.com/messageboar ... php?t=1942

If you sent a request to the tuesdaytrivia e-mail address, they should get to you soon. Or someone could PM you. Please don't post the quiz on this board, though. Thanks.

I did check the thread, and I did send an email yesterday... weird... I receive it at the same address every week, I guess this week it got lost in the mail. I'll wait until I get the email.

Thanks for the quick reply, Ken.

If you don't get a copy of the quiz from us by tomorrow, go ahead and send another email. I'll check the inbox tonight and get copies sent out. If you don't get one, let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Lilly. Despite the advice of the post, I put "I didn't get Tuesday Trivia" in my subject line instead of "Missing Tuesday Trivia".

I appreciate your help.

I have gone through the inbox and sent out all requested quizzes. To anybody who hasn't gotten one yet: please resend a request and I will get one out to you ASAP!!

This is really strange, but I still haven't received a quiz.

I checked my "spam box" and nothing. I get the quiz every week without problem.

My email address is "stevensde" and it's a G mail address.

And I sent an email to you explaining, which wasn't replied to..... can you try again?

Dave is not alone. I did NOT receive the Trivia quiz email on Tuesday, November 13th either.
In fact, several people on the recipient list in the Chicago area I have checked with have also
not received this week's email.
I think the problem must be on your end.

I don't know if I've gotten it yet (my home computer is down, so I've been posting on public access computers), but, just to be sure, could someone send it to me and confirm it's been sent? I would appreciate it.

My email is cadams35@agristar.net, if you need it.

As far as I can tell from the logs, everything got sent normally. If you didn't receive it, I hope you've whitelisted the tuesdaytrivia email address by putting it in your address book...that may prevent your provider from thinking it's spam.

Unless Gmail thinks your "spam" is unworthy of going to my "spambox" in gmail, and only if gmail added you to their list of spammers in the last week... i've been otherwise getting the emails normally. Strangely I didn't get the 2nd send either, which is odd. I emailed back to the TuesdayTrivia address with an alternative email address for them to try to send to.

Seeing as I'm locked in a tie for first place, and this being the final week, is there some other alternative means by which I might get the questions if the emails continue to fail?

I got mine in my gmail box just fine, so that's not the issue.

I have re-checked and have "cleared" Tuesday Trivia email...just as it has always been. I also checked with a few other people in the area who did not receive this week's mailing. They are on a variety hosts and all have never had this problem before; and still no Trivia for 11/13.
Guess we lose a turn.

If that's the case, it's really disappointing. I've been playing for about a year, and I've been "in the hunt" for first place a couple of times. This time I'm tied for first with this being the final week. So it goes.

Last week's missing trivia

Postby janisluft » Tue Nov 20, 2007 6:49 am

Don't know what the problem was, but neither I nor my friend got the Tuesday Trivia for 11/13. We're in the SF Bay area, if that makes a difference to the system. Not in spam, not nowhere. Today I got it with last week's questions and answers....

You got it a week late? Whoa, that's weird. Anyone else get the same?

I thought "it" referred to today's mailing, with last week's q's and a's at the bottom.
