I’m pretty pleased that I won’t lose my streak of daily challenges if I don’t use the site while I’m not at work. Thank you for understanding many of us probably aren’t using this site in our leisure time, despite how helpful and great it is.

I would like to see them on the weekends as well, with any five out of seven days constituting a “week”. This is to support our brethren who work weekends and partial weekends.
Basically in any given Sunday to Saturday stretch, allow us to miss one or two days and still call the week streak intact.

I’m just glad that the thing now says that the next question will be Monday rather than me trying to figure out 60 hour days before my first cup of coffee.

I just thought some long division in the morning is the best way to get your brain going!

Not sure why there was a question on Easter Monday. Isn’t it a public holiday in the US?

The Spiceworks community is an international community, and not everyone in the world had a holiday.

Sure it is. Not NA-centric at all.
I don’t think there are any plans to account for holidays at this point.

Just answered a question 0:20 +1100 06 Apr 2016, (Wednesday morning) and the text in the Daily Challenge Beta box says “Your next question will be available on Monday”.
We’re punishing you for staying up too late!
Looks like a bug in the logic for that message, we put in some special cases because it looked weird when you answered on Friday and got a message that said “available in 65 hours.”
I suspect it says what you expect after 1am?
Refreshed the page at 06:45 +1000 (forgot that daylight savings ended last weekend) and it now says “Your next question will be available in 18 hours”. Interesting … I wonder if there is still a problem with the timezone handling.

It wasn’t a US Federal Holiday either.
Also, my streak may suffer next week when I’m on vacation, but I might make an effort…
Interesting. Is this supporting “The Spiceworks community is an international community” statement or confirming that it is NA-centric? What does the ‘either’ indicate? Who else did not have a public holiday? I just did a quick search to see which countries do and do not have Easter as a public holiday. Looks like USA is in the minority.
I suspect it was purely informational. Feel free to interpret it how you like.

The Spiceworks founders discovered that the Internet in general (and SW by extrapolation) is not NA centric when they released the first version of the product…
Very funny. You should do stand up.
P.S. Given SW is part of the Internet, it would be ‘interpolation’ rather than ‘extrapolation’.

I’m a stunt comedian. I tell all the shit jokes so you don’t have to bother.
