	please make suggestions for new categories. these were just the ones i thought of off the top of my head. and any of you master sporcle quiz designers (i.e. those who know how to control columns) (i.e. rockgolf), please tell me how i should reorganize this quiz to make it more sensical. thanks!

	also, should i include the number of letters as a hint? if you want them kept, vote this comment up. if you want them hidden, vote this comment down.

	How about Oscar winners for best actor? Books of the Bibles? Sporcle category? US #1 single-word song titles? (Longest: "Irreplaceable", Shortest: War, ABC, Ben, Bad)

	United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland?

	montecarlo:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 19:30 GMT	2 points
	thanks for the suggestions. added all but the single-word song titles... that one seemed a bit of a stretch? (but i appreciate your research.)

	ok, put the uk in as a bonus answer, as well as the athletics, since some will guess As for mlb team. however, the bonuses sadly appear on the left side of each column (under the dark green area). any idea how to make them appear on the right side? (under the light green area?)

	rockgolf:	Oct 13th, 2009 at 20:29 GMT	1 point
	Just put a placeholder value in the first column. It can be "-" or "." or just "(alternate)", whatever you like. Example: European country (20) \| Bosnia and Herzegovina/United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland \| [blank] (alternate)\| United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland \| ee

	hmmmm i think i understand what you are suggesting, but currently the first column is used for 'longest' or 'shortest' so as to split up the columns correctly. as soon as i change that field for the bonus answers to anything but those two options, the bonuses wont appear at all. perhaps this is all due to me setting up the columns in an inefficient manner?

	Sorry, I didn't see you were grouping. (Suggest you increase the font size of the headings to 12 points.) Ideally, you should have a common central column that covers both the long and short, but the Sporcle game creator won't allow that. so your code now looks like: Longest \| Bosnia and Herzegovina \| European Country (20) ... several other rows... Shortest \| Italy, Malta, Spain/Italy/Malta/Spain \| European Country (5) To my knowledge there is no way to group and have bonus answers appear in the correct column. Right now, it a bug. I suggest you send a note to the Admins from the link on your "create" page. Sorry.

	thanks again for the effort/advice rock. i'll update those headings to 12 points.

	Trail Blazers?

	Can you accept Athelstan as a monarch of England? He has 9 letters in his name, same as Elizabeth, and he really did rule all of England, unless you're picky about a few square miles. He was the first Englishman to do so too, shame he's forgotten so much.

	you're missing the number 5 in the shortest sporcle category.
