JetPunk Change Log
Premium Members can now see their Top Days and Top Quizzes by Day in a new report, available from Quiz Analytics!
We've had a deep reorganization of our navigational menus at the top, as well as many other back-end changes to improve this part of the site.
Charts now have the option to invert the direction of their axes.
After you finish a quiz, you can now more easily play the next or previous quizzes in the series using the buttons provided (next to the retake button). Also, on English quizzes, you can share your result by copying it to the clipboard, which can be easily pasted onto any social media feeds!
An example of this is shown below:

I got 19 / 20 for 4 / 5 points

User stats page will now show your progress through a level, similar to post-quiz stats. You can also filter by quiz type on other languages.
After community suggestions and discussions on the Word Search Feedback Blog, many suggestions have now come to fruitition. With all-time stats, a challenge mode and community-voted themes, there's lots to look forward to with JetPunk's Daily Word Search! Read all about the changes in the new monthly round-up: Word Search Round-Up - February 2022
View stats on your Total Level and Total Points for all featured quizzes in the "Total" page of User Stats.
JetPunk introduces a brand new daily minigame, JetPunk Daily Word Search! Enjoy a brand new puzzle each and every day, hand-crafted to perfection. More Info
Chart lovers can now create Bar Charts! When creating a chart, you can select the chart type in Step 1 on the right hand side. You also have the choice of bar width and whether to stack multiple series ontop each other.
You can create charts by going to "Create" in the navigation bar and then clicking the green button "Create Chart".
Introducing Series Analytics! Now, when Premium members use Quiz Analytics they can select "Series Report" to get the total takes by day for all quizzes in a selected series.
Note: When first running for a series it can be slow, and bigger series will take longer
Rejoice! Numbered quizzes and blogs in series will now be sorted correctly, regardless of where the number appears in the title. You will have to resave your series to apply the change.
We also added the option for blog series to have the order of the blogs manually changed, simply go to the blog series page and click "Reorder". Note: due to technical restraints, modifying the series through the "Manage Series" page will reset the order.
Thanks to a massive collaboration between many members of our French community, I am pleased to present Anecdotes! The French version of "Interesting Facts"! It also comes with its own Chercher des anecdotes (aka search page).
I can draw an idea of how it could look if you want.
That would work if you're only using JetPunk standard SVGs
If that doesn't make sense, you might do a map for say European landmarks. One dot might be in Paris for the Eiffel Tower, and when you.clickee on it, it shows you information that the map maker had written about it.
That probably doesn't make sense
I'm terrible at explaining things!Why is that?
Do you know if there are any active users in Ukraine?
Does Dan still work with The Name Geek?
2) I don't know
2) Alright
But about 1st question, doesn’t JetPunk collect the data of place of residence with Google Analytics?
But now I have a problem. For some reason, I can access all JetPunk pages, but none of my blogs. They are completely blank!
It's only on the mobile site
edit: you tricked me that was the most annoying word i have every had to find lol
So overall it's not bad luck you haven't got it, but it's more just you haven't been one of the lucky few to get it.
also I would also like to ask a question. If you get level 50 in another language do you get an extra ballot as well, and if you level up to level 60 in a language, is that another ballot as well?
I have three questions
1. Do spotlights become voided after a couple months of inactivity?
2. How often does QM cull users, and what are the qualifications for being culled?
3. How lucky is it that I got a spotlight on my fifth day of meeting the qualifications…
2. Never, we don't cull users
3. Very lucky indeed
There are 23 users with at least 100 blog likes.
totally not bragging btw
Also, can you tell who the next 5 bloggers are?
And it seems Yako isn't deleted, he's just banned.
my most liked blog took 5 minutes to make lolIs there a reason behind why you want to do this?
POV: My comments two years ago be like: Bad translations from Google, some idiocies in Portuguese, dumb questions, arguments with Kalbahamut2. When someone responds to my comment, I want to be able to see it
POV: my comments 5 months ago be like: arrogant criticism, unneeded opinions, unresearched statements, criticizing users when I don’t know the full storyPOV: my comments 4 years ago be like: me not commenting because i'm too scared to say anything on the internetPOV: This can be a new thread possiblyWhy are you so against making a "whole blog" for a table? Do you have some unjustified prejudice against shorter blogs? Or even informational ones?
Well, I’m not against short blogs, even because you don’t need to write 50k characters in a blog. The point, is that short blogs and this type of table can bring spam to RUB, like what happened on badge era, where the most of blogs were tables of badges from the HTML code of Pandora49. If someone start doing this type of table in the blog, can bring a flux of new users trying the same. But, thinking now, with the more rigid rules with spam and toxicity, this can have a less """""impact""""" at RUB
I don't think calling any "trend" in the RUB that you dislike "spam" is a particularly fair or nice thing to do.
Maybe it would be possible to like remove the borders between subdivisions you haven’t visited.
Like If you visited Victoria and New South Wales, it wouldn’t show the borders between the other provinces you haven’t visited.
Even if this isn’t something you want to do, thank you! You do so much for this site and I mean it really is amazing how you still take the time to see random requests from users on the change log.
@TheNatureThread (I know pinging someone doesn’t work)
no, they should delete cyprusAlso, is there any easy way to find a reference between the JetPunk world map and a trace map? I'm trying to emulate a map I found on the JetPunk world map, but I'm worried the borders will be off.
Unfortunately I cannot change the algorithm for it since it would have unexpected consequences on other quizzes.
You'll quickly get used to them :)
idk what is drastic on symbols getting “unbolded” ;-;, so, I already have to apologize in advance for bothering you lolAlso I'll take a look at the scrolling issues on mobile, it shouldn't be possible to scroll left/right
I think the Social page would make more sense under About JetPunk. In addition, I think About JetPunk should go to the bottom or at least under Data & Charts and Blogs, since those are similar to creating quizzes.
Finally, I think the blog section should be plural, given that it includes multiple blogs and that Data & Charts is plural. Maybe Official Blog should be plural too, since Official Blog implies there's only one entry, at least to me.
Thank you for all the work you do!
So overall, the Random button is currently clicked about 400,000 times each day, and contributes to 10% of all the takes on the site. So yes, it is very heavily used.
Random is under Featured for Mobile version purposes.
"Blog" here can be used as meaning a single blog post, or a person's blog, and since it is "Official Blog" is means the latter, referring to a collection of Blog Posts. I'll consider the other options.
btw can i mess up the stats by setting up a 24/7 macro clicking the random button lol
If we did Instagram as well it's just another social media we'd have to post to and keep up to date which just takes too much time, especially when I have a full-time job outisde of jetpunk and Dan has a lot of moderation to do.
The own Stewart just disobey the official JetPunk vocabulary rules lolStill took me a minute to find out how to get to minigames :)
I'm not good at getting used to stuff
The last one mentioned might not be as important, but it would be useful on large pages, like this one.
I'll fix it
Also, I'll be the user that grumbles and grumbles about the update, not a fan of cascading dropdown menus :P
And yes, while submenus are a big change for us, it means we're much less limited in the number of links we can add to the menu
I also noticed that while taking a SVG quiz, the answers grid get cut when I scroll down, and the tab of “insert answer” is getting scrolled together, while it should have been stuck on the place where it is (idk how to explain, but...).
Are you mobile or desktop?
What do you call the "side bar" here.
Did you do anything before taking the quiz?
Is this related to the new menu somehow?
How does the grid get cut?
I recorded a video to explain what I mean, but I couldn’t send it on here, so, I’m gonna send by another way.
By "side bar", I mean the right-hand column of "stuff" on desktop. So, on the quiiz editor, this is where you have "Insert Answers" (what i thought you mentioned before) as well as the step buttons. For a quiz page itself, this is where "hot quizzes" are, as well as link to series and tags.
For mobile, this doesn't exist in the same way.
I literally didn’t say I was going to send by email because you told some months ago for don’t share publicly lolSo, the scrolling up-down issue is happening on the quiz itself, not in the editor. I told about the editor for some reason to explain the “scrolling left-right” point (which was working normally on the quiz I used as example). Apparently, is an internal issue with my browser, but I didn’t do anything of different, and this started after the update :)
Just a small request: would it be possible to add a language selector near to the search bar, as before? Because in some situations, with the current organization, it can be impractical without it, and I don't think and hope it would not disturb too much.
im probably just being overly dramatic
When I login to my account, the shield surrounding the level your account is disappears until you go to a new page on the website, and the 0 in the notifications occurs when you have an unread comment that was sent when your account was not logged into, and does not get fixed until you check on your notification page. When you don't have any new comments while your account was logged out of, it works perfectly fine.
P.S. I only added the image because I am horrible at explaining things :/
The image was very helpful - thanks!
If all else fails QM can just spotlight additional quizzes (though unlikely that will ever be necessary)
its consistent so im guessing more traffic or smth
The only way around this would be to "fix" the timing which fixes also the issue of big quizzes slowing down the timer. It's on my todo list
Edit: Should now be fixed.
I know JetPunk doesn’t choose what ads come, but I think something definitely needs to be done about this one.
A simple solution would be to change the CSS used to be:
.svg-holder .svg-correct tspan { fill: ... }
.svg-holder .svg-incorrect tspan { fill: ... }
This way, in this specific case, the css should work OK.
Also, can you make it so only one drop-down menu can be opened at a time with the menu tab on mobile, as it gets really messy when you open all of them at once.
The second is intentional because it gets confusing when things are closed for you
