You paid 40 for a bug-ridden add-on that never updates, and when you renew it, you'll pay another 30 or 40. For 75, you could have a bug-free add-on that constantly adds new features. I don't think the add-on is expensive for what it offers; it's just that you bought the wrong add-on at the time.

You paid 40 for a bug-ridden add-on that never updates, and when you renew it, you'll pay another 30 or 40. For 75, you could have a bug-free add-on that constantly adds new features. I don't think the add-on is expensive for what it offers; it's just that you bought the wrong add-on at the time.
Personally, I'd opt for this addon instead of the other one. This one may be more expensive, but you probably won't need to renew your license yearly unless there are "must-have" features added. This is a solid add-on in its current form, and the support is first-class.
From what I've seen on XF.com, the other add-on is neither complete nor well supported and is full of bugs. The price difference isn't really that much when you weigh up what is on offer in terms of features, support, and future development for both products.
Maybe I made the wrong choice. At that time I didn't find any other quiz addon. So there was no choice.
I hope more features will be added.
Probably need to expand on that a bit - what kind of features?
@Painbaker Is it possible to set points for each question? For example, question number 1, the points are 5, question number 2, the points are 3.

You can set this here
(not available for all question types)
I do not observe such a problem
What do you see in the browser log?
A possible improvement would be for users to be able to create tests and earn money by allowing other users to complete them.
Dear Painbaker,
please allow two for you maybe rather stupid questions:
- is it possible, to give the rights to create a quiz to other members of the forum without giving them entire administrator privileges over the entire forum?
- I need to translate the quiz into German. As I did not need this before I am lost here. Which files do I have to edit and what do I have to do that these files will not be overwritten at next update?
Thank you
Wolfgang

Yes
The permissions here are very flexible
You don't need to edit any files, just translate the addon phrases through the ACP interface for your language.
You said there can be more than one correct answer. I'm confused.
I think it means that you have a question with, say, 5 possible answers - of those answers, there may be more than one possible outcome, so if the user selected any of the correct answers, they would be marked correct.
It doesn't mean select all the correct answers.
For multiple answers, just now I'm using the "ordering into groups" method.
Hope that makes sense.
Now I understand. But please look again at the screenshot I provided.
It would be better if the left and right groups were different in number. There might be 2 or 3 items as distractors. I don't know if this is possible.
Hi @Painbaker ,
Although I gave the visitors the necessary group permissions, unfortunately, "You did not complete the CAPTCHA verification properly. Please try again." error and they cannot participate in the tests.
Where is the setting for this?

Hi.
1) Is it possible to allow users to not add a quiz in the top category? But do so only for the sub categories? Top category only for organization and to separate it from the other main category.
(but still leave the "Add Quiz" button visible on the page, and still show all quizzes within that main category).
So when this popup comes up, they cannot select the top category:
2) Also, can the drop down menu by default stay open (the arrow to open/close the "Board Game Quiz" category?
3) Would it be possible to add an option for "quiz difficulty"? 1-5 stars. The creator select a rating, but users can also vote on what they think after completing the quiz. (creator difficulty, community voted difficulty).
4) When I am in the questions tab of a quiz, the breadcrums are showing double.

You can modify the "ozzmodz_quiz_category_view" template. Replace:1) Is it possible to allow users to not add a quiz in the top category? But do so only for the sub categories? Top category only for organization and to separate it from the other main category.

This feature is not currently planned. I can look into it if you are interested.
Will be fixed in the next update.
Thanks! 
1) Hmm, that didn't work. If am at the main category (https://www.boardgamedungeon.net/quiz/categories/board-game-quiz.1), I can still add quiz right into that category.
I suppose I can just manually move the quiz to the correct category, though that adds some manual labor
3) Yeah cool, thanks. I just thought that would be a nice idea. For that matter, rating the quiz would also be possible (how well made it is), and they could rate on the difficulty as well. But of course only after completing the quiz. The rating(s) (how many) and how high it is, could weight into how well the quizzes are sorted under "trending". And they could be filtered on the main quiz page by rating.

You need to revoke the "Add quiz" permission to add to this category, but allow it in the child nodes.1) Hmm, that didn't work. If am at the main category (https://www.boardgamedungeon.net/quiz/categories/board-game-quiz.1), I can still add quiz right into that category.
