Mad Blanks newbies and more experienced users, I need your help!  Shocked

I have just updated the How to Implement a Basic Quiz tutorial that is the basic introduction to using Mad Blanks.

I added illustrations and brought the wording up to date to match the latest releases. I was also able to simplify the tutorial.

I would very much value your feedback about this newly improved tutorial.

  • Is there anything in it that confuses you?
  • Is there anything in it that doesn't work quite as I have described it?
  • Do you have suggestions for improvements to the tutorial?
  • Do you have any other comments about the tutorial?

Please comment in this forum thread or use the contact form if you wish to respond privately.

Thank you!  Cool

The new tutorial is excellent. Too bad I missed it by only a couple of days!

Hi Chris,

I think what you have done is great.

I suggest if possible, giving some troubleshooting tips regarding blank pages after submitting a basic quiz, assuming all instructions were followed properly to install and configure a mad blanks, and a mad blanks quiz.

I have Yahoo web hosting, and the quiz shows, and gets recorded successfully, but I get a blank page after submission of a quiz.

Thanks for being proactive to solicit feedback.

I think having troubleshooting tips at the end of the tutorial would be a great idea.

What are issues people have had after completing the tutorial that should be addressed in the form of troubleshooting tips?

Hi Chris,

I agree, what you have done is almost perfect!

Why not add some fake values has template. Some time, reading your document + seeing the way it has been done, can help a lot to progress.

Thanks for your love in helping the community.
