1. If I edit a published quiz in any way, do all the stats for that quiz (takes, answer percentages, publication date, etc) get reset?
2. Is it typically better to publish a series of quizzes all at once, or to release them at regular intervals (e.g. weekly)?
3. How does the spotlight/nomination system work?
Side note: Thanks to whoever spotlighted my quiz recently!! That was really cool to see! 😍
4. Is there a way to search for a specific message board post? And is there a reason why a message board post would disappear? My "Advice for a Budding Quiz-maker" post seems to have vanished 😂
Most importantly though, is there an FAQ we can access so these kinds of questions don't need repeatedly answering? 😂
Thanks in advance :)

2. This is subjective, though I personally believe it should be done in intervals so you build up some hype (and possible an audience) for the series as it develops.
3. You can view the FAQ page for spotlights here. You can view criteria for quizzes to be eligible for nominations here.
4. No, you cannot really search for message board posts except by using 'CTRL + F' to find the title. There is a certain gap in time where message board posts seem to disappear, don't ask me why. Once more posts are made, yours will probably reappear on Page 2.
If you didn't know, the "title" of the #1 quizmaker rank hasn't changed for years now. And Stewart is not some random dude, he is also an admin of the site.
I feel that a series of quizzes should be spread out rather than all at once. Publishing a lot of quizzes at once, drowns out the board. What I mean is, someone could publish a quiz that has taken them ages to compile, and then a whole bunch of quizzes about the same thing are published. The first quiz is then "drowned out" below the myriad of other quizzes and so may not get as many takes.
Also, your own quizzes, will all get lost in the list together, there are only so many users online at any one time and by adding a whole series, you will be limiting the number of takes the individual quizzes get.
Does that make sense?
At the end of the day though, it's up to you how you publish your quizzes.
