Not getting the quiz this week (response to blog)

Postby enielsen » Wed Feb 13, 2008 12:07 pm

My copy of the quiz was apparently sent out at 1:10am on Tuesday morning, but didn't actually arrive until 4:41 am Wednesday morning, so I think the reason many people didn't get the quiz was probably an issue with the mail servers over at bluehost.com.

Specifically, it took 27 hours from the time it was received by bluehost's outgoing mail gateway to the time when it was actually received by my incoming mail gateway. So, it seems bluehost was having some mail issues yesterday. I would encourage people to wait a little while before requesting a new copy.

I am glad to hear that the problem is with the e-mail sender.

I will wait until tomorrow (Thursday) before send another please re--send letter.

I am not ashamed that i sent a polite "please re-send" e--mail yesterday.
I guessed that by some mischance "Tuesday Trivia" was considered Bulk.
The first thing I do when I go to that mailbox is delete/empty Bulk.

I finally got the 2/12 Tuesday Trivia Today (Thursday)

In a samll gripe: For some reason the text was formatted so that many questons ran over the right margin of the screen.
To read some questions, I had to click the right arrow.

This is not usually the case.

Same here, but I just cut & pasted the text into Word and all was fine
