    Hello Dylan,

    I think it could be useful to give the number of the questions were are modifying on the “Main” page of the admin. We can read the title: Main, que “Question Type” and all the answers. But not the number of the question.
    When modifying many of questions chosen again ad again among a long list, sometimes the brain could be relieved of the difficulty of memorizing the question number
    When the questions are all very different from each other (classic quiz with 5 questions about a celebrity), my suggestion looks useless. But when the quiz is about repetitive questions (mental math with a pool of 500 questions), all the questions are just slightly different and mistakes due to fatigue occur…

    Does this apparently “light modification” brings into play enormous computing resources?

    Thanks again for your excellent plugin ??

    I have good news for you, assuming I understand the issue you are looking to solve.

    For the next update to HD Quiz (which is just some minor updates and enhancements – nothing major), one of the changes is to the list of questions.

    When editing a question and select the “back to quiz” button to see the list of questions again, the question that you were just editing will be highlighted in a slightly different colour making it easier to pick out of a crowd of many questions.

    But to go one step even further, the page will also auto scroll to that question. This way if you have say 100 questions on a quiz, it’ll be many times easier and faster to get back to where you were in the list.

    I hope this is inline with what you were looking for!

    Hello Dylan,
    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    In my case, it’s not 100 questions but 1000 ??
    It’s mental arithmetic. It’s very easy to create questions (additions, multiplications…) and correct answers with a spreadsheet. But the difficulty is to create “credible” bad answers. If you see 147 + 372 = ? you guess the correct answer will end in 9. So, you create bad answers ending with 9 between 499 and 539, but placing the right answer in different places in the increasing order of the answers. But sometimes, it’s more difficult (when many numbers like 16, 32, 64, 128 are added, or when you add fractions with different denominators). In this case, you imagine bad answers before testing the quiz online.

    After the upload of the questions (2.5 seconds per question), you test the quiz. And you sometimes see that it’s very easy to guess the good answer ! So, I launch the quiz and click on “END” (it gives a 0/500 score) to see all the list of the questions with all the good answers. And I modify by hand a part of the answers ??

    So, it’s difficult to make a good job (and you know that with your plugin). careless people are always happy with them.

    For each kind of question, there is an algorithm to create bad “credible” answers… With always one by one modifications after testing the quiz online.

    With the new system you described, the task will be lighter than now :s
