Hey all, heres a system i decided to make for a couple of reasons, mainly because i had some spare time and had nothing better to do, but also because it will benefit my forums and probably yours too.

Now for the previews, what everyone likes to see..
@ wolfgangm - Wild cards, sounds like a good idea, however this is the reason why the ability to moderate results was created, so you could check over answers and correct things like typo's, however i will keep it in mind. As for pictures, you are able t use BBCode within questions, so use a [img] tag. A joker, sounds like a 50/50 deduction.
@ Snake - I'll look into difficulty rankings
@ Topee Guy - Add a link to the results upon completion in the thanks note, sure sounds easy enough. Notes to explain answers, sure sounds like that would be very educational for some site's
@ amy - I'll go apply those bugs to the download, thanks a lot for taking care of things while i was alseep
Explanatory notes... i.e., in the admincp, each question has a field where we can explain the answer in more depth. This isn't shown while doing the quiz, but when the user is given his/her results, and the answers, the system also shows him the explanatory notes.
Explanatory notes would be something like why an answer is true/false, a bit more information about the answer, etc.
This is an awesome idea! Huge props on this one! This would help the quiz taker and the quiz giver. (great suggestion, TopeeGuy)
Another bug. And this one's ooky javascript that I shall leave to you
When I go to create a quiz, if I have an apostrophe in the question, the javascript is truncating the question and then displaying the truncated question in the text field. This happens when I click the "Add Question to Quiz" button.
So, if you aren't paying attention, a truncated question gets submitted into the database.
