JetPunk Change Log

Sometimes we change the way things work on JetPunk. Here's a place to make a note of these changes. Click on each month to expand or collapse the changes for that month.
May 2023
May 28th - Blog / Chart Notification Choice

Blog and Chart creators can now choose whether to send a notification when updating them. Unlike a quiz, blogs and charts don't have the same concept of "resetting", so the choice to update subscribers on a change is now given.

May 28th - Picture Quiz Import/Export

You can now import / export the text from Picture quizzes. If you retain the id of an answer, you can use this to update the text of an answer (while retaining the image.

Additionally, you can now Ctrl+Shift+V to multi-line paste into map-click quizzes.

May 18th - Tile Select Change

Once a tile select quiz finishes, the tiles are now sorted into whether they should've been selected or not. Hopefully this makes tile select stats a bit more palatable.

May 2nd - Recent Taken Quizzes

You can now see a list of the 500 most-recently taken quizzes on your account: Recent Taken Quizzes.

April 2023
April 24th - Basketball Facts

After the introduction of JetPunk's Baseball Facts being positive, we have now added JetPunk's Basketball Facts!

April 19th - Telugu

Telugu has now been added as an unfeatured language. See all the quizzes for it here.

April 6th - Random Stats

Stats for randomized quizzes are now available. These represent the % the answer was guessed in the event that answer was selected to be answered.

April 4th - Word Search Notifications

You can now sign-up to Notifications when a JetPunk Word Search puzzle is on the front page from the Manage Notifications page.

Also, if you are subscribed to me (Stewart) for quizzes, then you'll also receive notifications when a new puzzle is created!

April 1st - Word Search Returns!

After a two month hiatus, JetPunk Word Search has returned and is better than ever.

Read the full story here!

March 2023
March 1st - Premium Changes

The price for JetPunk Premium will be going up soon. Until March 15th, you can still lock in the legacy rate of $35 / five years. After that, the price will be increasing to $20 / year or $40 / three years.

You can also now purchase Premium for another user, or a gift certificate to print out and be redeemed.

Hi! Is it possible to stop accepting "Thailand" and "Surinam" as Type-In in french? It doesn't make any sense in this language (otherwise you should also accept Franc, Belgiqu, Suiss or Allemagn) and it is really anoying when you are trying to write answers quickly.

Bonjour à vous et tout d'abord merci de votre retour.

Ces type-ins sont présents depuis des années et nous avons pour habitude de ne jamais les rendre moins permissifs car cela pourrait déranger des joueurs qui s'y sont habitués.

Toutefois, j'avais moi-même noté ce problème en essayant de compléter le quiz "Pays du Monde" rapidement, donc je comprends votre frustration.

Surinam est une orthographe alternative listée par Wikipédia et plusieurs dictionnaires, donc nous allons la conserver dans les type-ins. Cependant nous avons retiré le type-in "Thailand" suite à votre demande.

Il n'est pas entièrement impossible qu'il soit réintroduit si trop d'utilisateurs se plaignent à ce sujet.

Bien à vous,

-Anna

Ideas for an update : be able to type directly into the answer boxes on a quiz instead of the separate answer bar. For a moderately experienced JetPunker (such as myself) it's easy to use the answer bar, but whenever I show someone new to JetPunk a quiz (irl and especially on mobile) they always seem to try and type directly into the answer boxes.
+1
Level 68
Feb 13, 2023
Assuming you mean step 4, this is probably the right thing to do. Although it's incredibly difficult to achieve since step 2 took a long time to get working correctly.
+3
Level 61
Feb 13, 2023
It seems kind of needless — just direct them to the proper box.

Additionally, this would actually be a handicap, as you can only type one answer per box, effectively serving as a self-imposed yellow box.

also, what's with the site crash? Are we getting an update, possibly with some cool new features?? :D :D
+2
Level 61
Feb 13, 2023
Nearly every time the site has gone down (not a crash, to be clear), it's just been backend maintenance most users won't notice.
+1
Level 68
Feb 14, 2023
No McKenzie, don't underestimate the time and effort it takes to implement "cool new features".

In this case the update was required to improve the performance of how we store quizzes. It may have been noticed that the website has been slower this year, and things like search weren't always up to date. These were all side effects of reaching a sort of "critical mass" regarding quizzes. Either way, we've addressed the issue now.

So as usual, nothing on the front end that users will see.

+1
Level 68
Feb 14, 2023
And given you meant taking a quiz, fully agree with all points made by Qy. Overall it's a terrible idea that was not well thought out, requires a lot more scrolling for users and makes it harder to access controls, see the time left, etc...

Do you know if QM uses Google search results to determine what names for countries are common in cases like Timor-Leste or East Timor? I'm trying to revise the list of Telugu countries and am using this is a factor. Also my method is basically to check the most common in Google and then check particularly in books and news, just to make sure that would work on JetPunk lol
+3
Level 68
Feb 17, 2023
It's a combination of English name, what Wikipedia uses and QMs personal preference. French however uses Wikipedia.

Level 65
Feb 17, 2023
Thanks, so would my method be fine to make a COTW names list for JetPunk?

Do you know how HARD it is to find a picture on the internet meeting the 245 by 245 requirements lol? Is there anyway to change it to 200 by 200 or something?
+2
Level 68
Feb 21, 2023
235x235 minimum. And it is absolutely required as otherwise images would look incredibly pixelated.
+2
Level 61
Feb 22, 2023
Just upscale it in an image editing program. It'll still look blurry, but fulfill requirements.
+2
Level 57
Feb 23, 2023
@MCM I don't find it hard. What images are you looking for?

Maybe if you cant find it, then you aren't clicking into the image.

e.g When you Google Search an image, it brings up lots of thumbnails of photos. If you click on them ONCE then it brings up a larger version of the image. Copy that one. No need to go to the website. Also, when you click once on that image, in the bottom right corner, there is a box showing the size of the image.

Hope that helps

Auto saving on quizzes. Maybe an option that can be enabled or disabled

Because sometimes unexpectedly, It will say "uploading" if i upload a picture and never stop for a timeout. Its happened twice and i've lost an hour of work on multiple occasions.

It's happened to me for up to five minutes. But I guarantee you, it will timeout eventually. Maybe grab a snack?
+1
Level 56
Feb 28, 2023
Its been loading for five hours I don't think its going away

If you copy paste an image link twice before the first time is loaded you lose all unsaved progress.

Or if it says "Zero image string passed" or whatever than you paste it again it glitches

Feb 28, 2023
You realise that you don't need to wait for a timeout, you can simply hit "Escape" on the keyboard (Esc) and it will close the popup?

Regardless, the timeout shouldn't last for hours, so I will look at that issue.

For a friend (genuinely): are there any countries that JetPunk receives no users from? I imagine North Korea is on the list.

Well, actually it is possible for someone to access from North Korea, using mobile data as a tourist.

But generally Google Analytics is too unreliable to be sure with some of the smaller countries.

+2
Level 57
Mar 1, 2023
to do hyperlink you do this

< ** a href = ** jetpunk.com > JetPunk : World's Best Quizzes! < ** / ** a ** >

put the link between the = and the first >, here I'm using the JetPunk url, then between the first > and the second < you put the words you want the hyperlink to say, (e.g. JetPunk : World's Best Quizzes!)

remove the ** and you get

JetPunk : World's Best Quizzes!

I had to have ** otherwise the html recognizer kicks in and you can't see what I've written. Pretty obvious but I thought I'd better just say it.

Does this mean we get more trees?
+2
Level 49
Mar 2, 2023
I think fewer people will be buying Premium after the prices go up, so there will be fewer trees, but this probably won't be significant since the vast majority of JetPunk's revenue comes from ads instead of Premium
+3
Level 68
Mar 2, 2023
Actually, every model we've looked at suggests Premium take up will increase now that you have a cheaper option as well as the ability to buy for yourself or others.

We wouldn't make this change if we thought Premium revenue would go down.

+2
Level 61
Mar 2, 2023
I'm pretty sure QM once said that the price wouldn’t increase without more features to compensate. I was planning to get it either over the summer or for my birthday, so just wondering if this will hold true.
+2
Level 68
Mar 2, 2023
For now, we are considering what else we could add to Premium (that's not open for public discussion).

However, that comment you refer to is old by now, and likely before global inflation and the pandemic which resulted in diminishing revenue (despite record traffic).

So it was a necessary move to reorganise the pricing structure. (Plus $35 / 5 years is insanely cheap, but also 5 years is too long a time for most people to comprehend the value of - hence a new 6 months option with a lower price per payment).

+1
Level 57
Mar 3, 2023
2 ways to increase Premium buying

1. Mention it on TikTok

2. Give special features to Premium members first (eg when you guys bring out a new feature, Premium users exclusively get it for a certain amount of time, say a month, before all us layPunkers get it.)

Or

3. Both

We had this poll in Telugu Discord server:

What names should be displayed for countries in Telugu quizzes (both will be accepted)?

1. Telugu names used in dictionaries and older literature

2. English names transliterated to Telugu used in modern literature, news, and speech

3/5 Telugu members voted and all non-Telugu ambassadors voted. First one got all the Telugu votes and 3/4 non-Telugu votes.

Do you think the 1st choice is okay? More context: Every country except India basically has its English name transliterated to Telugu in modern news, books and articles. In conversations English names are said, often with English pronunciation even. Countries like United States which can be translated are sometimes translated but often transliterated. A lot of countries did have Telugu names before this, which are found in some dictionaries. Most of us Telugu JetPunkers consider these better and more accurate Telugu names, as the transliterations might be more code-switching than loanwords.

+3
Level 69
Mar 10, 2023
Clarification:

By "both will be accepted", we mean that both traditional names and transliterated names will be accepted as type-ins for Telugu COTW. The poll is meant to check with the Telugu JP community which set of names they prefer as the main one, which is displayed in the answer boxes and on the map.

As Nature said, most modern Telugu media uses transliterated names, making them significantly more common in the language. The older, traditional names are now mostly confined to dictionaries, however, they do carry with them a lot of history.

Also, Nature weirdly didn't give any actual numbers of the people who voted. 7 people voted, with 6 people (3 Telugu and 3 others) voting for option number 1, and 1 other person voting for option 2. Most of us don't really relate to the majority of Telugu-speaking people.

This poll was held on the Telugu JP Discord server. If you want, I can invite you to it.

+4
Level 68
Mar 10, 2023
No need to invite me.

Sounds like a lot of decent research has gone on. I agree with the outcome that preserving the history makes sense, provided both are accepted.

So yes, all you've said is okay for me!

With regard to the increase in Premium membership.

I purchased this a few months ago at $35 for 5 years. Now I assume this still stands and that I am not due to renew until the 5 years has expired, however, on renewal do I pay the new rate or is the $35/5 year rate in place ad infinitum ?

+1
Level 68
Mar 11, 2023
As stated above in the changelog, the $35 price is available for anybody until 15th March, after which the price for everybody will go to the $40 for 3 years instead. You can still add 5 years onto the end of your current membership if you want to, but only before March 15th.

They just have too few takes. Anything with less than a few hundred takes was not computed automatically, but will be computed when the next person takes the quiz.

Also the stats don't, and can't, be backdated. So if you haven't received any new takes on that quiz recently then there will be no stats yet.

I suspect what's happening is there's no cell left on that row that's unmerged. Every row must have a cell which is unique to that row otherwise the merging is overridden. And this is out of our control, as it is how it is defined by HTML.

However, you could "fix" this issue by adding an extra column on the side with no text, no fill and no borders. This would ensure there is always a cell available to each row.

How do you guys choose the word search puzzle to be displayed on the front page each day? Just curious cuz February's puzzles seem to show up more often than the other ones.
+2
Level 68
Apr 26, 2023
They are half random and half scheduled. The random ones are selected based on date, total takes and more criteria. The reason the later ones appear more often is because they were better and hexagons were introduced later, so to ensure variety on the front page the puzzles can't be in numerical order.

I meant the February 2022 puzzles, the oldest ones. Is it just me or does the algorithm take into account the fact that they're old (and have relatively few takes)?

JetPunk wouldn't handle this well though, since once you type the first part of the answer the rest is meaningless as your answer is already accepted.

May 4, 2023
You can't really change how the language structures its names, right? For example, in most quizzes, just "Mao" is accepted for "Mao Zedong". When making a Chinese (or similar language) quiz, it would just be more convenient to add type-ins if you could properly make the thing generate proper regex.

I like the idea to be able to save a quiz to your computer and continue it later. For example, if you needed to close the tab, you could save it and get a code and resume. it saves everything including the time, but the catch is that a loaded quiz cant earn points so you cant just use it to google the answers. it sort of functions like a pause button mixed with the functions of untimed.

A minigame idea: Generate questions from all the featured quizzes, and they must guess one of the answers, with the title of the quiz and question shown. Then, the user will do 5 questions (no answers in a row are allowed), and try to complete the set in the fastest time. Completely random. Could also be set between different languages.

It's a good idea in theory, but because there are a lot of quizzes without questions (like Draw the World Map), one would have to double-check all of the answers to make sure there aren't any issues (like the Secret Country in Solve the Secret Country series would have to be special-cased). That would be a lot of work and a lot of bugs would make it through!
