Daily question broken again?

So I found this post from around this time last year, coincidence? Daily Question link broken?

@sean-spiceworks I can’t answer the daily challenge today, the code for the button is there but the button does nothing and there isn’t actually any action in the HTML. I tried from the mobile app and it just says come back in 15 hours, almost as if I’d already answered today’s question.

Thoughts, could it be the same issue? I find it hard to believe that I’ve answered all the active questions, but I suppose it could be the case.

It’s definitely possible that you have answered all of the questions available to you (the expert level ones only become available under certain circumstances). … It’s been happening to a lot of people lately.

Let’s check. There were 4 questions waiting for approval, and I just approved them. If it works now, it was because you were out of questions.

That was totally it, I was able to get a question this time! Thanks @suzanne-spiceworks , so you basically gave me enough to get through the end of the week

We have reached a point where we are in a race against Dave! He is answering daily questions faster then the community can come up with them!

This post by computerdave is the first thing I saw after submitting another question. https://community.spiceworks.com/questions/4934/explanation?source=dashboard (It’s not a Linux question, so I’m hoping it will avoid controversy.)

I had 2 questions approved at about the same time a couple of months ago. One of them has been taken over 1000 times. The other has been taken zero times. Suzanne was thinking the degree of difficulty might be the issue keeping the latter out of rotation.

Suzanne, I don’t remember how I set it, but whatever it is, could you change it to the opposite? https://community.spiceworks.com/questions/4915/explanation?source=dashboard

I’d hate to see Dave’s streak broken!

Set it to easy… although now you might get complaints that it is not.
