How do you find yourself in the standings?

It used to tell me, now it doesn't.

No wonder I am far down on the list.

I can not even find my ranking for the month.

I am currently unhappy with Sploofus as they no longer let you use wager tokens unless you have a pay account. Don't give them to me if you're not going to let me use them!

I think they still let you use them until you reach a certain Level. Mine cut off at Level 5 (I think).

I keep hoping I'll get a Who or Where the Heck am I so I can use the 14 saved up Wager TOkens I have sitting there.

My standing does NOT show up at the bottom of the screen. Just like the post count does not show up at the bottom of our bored page. Maybe it's just my laptop...

I'm using IE 7 FWIW.

Down, down, down I continue. A missed question on tennis sent me down to 76th place.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I choose to believe that Sploofus was created to maintain my humility. I finished 8th overall for the month of June, as I recall. (Okay, that was a distant seven places behind mrkelley, but respectable nevertheless.) I was permitted one brief, shining moment to think I had a modicum of intelligence. This month my questions arrive with instructions that say "Submit, you flaming idiot."

I submit. I know they're talking to me.

I've been using my desktop to do the questions instead of the laptop. It seems to have improved my time somewhat. Yesterday I answered in 4. something seconds, which is about my fastest time ever, I think.

I'm also pondering reading the answers first and then scan the Q..right now I'm compelled to read the whole question before looking at the answers. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.

Or maybe I am just really dumb. :oops:

Fell a bit farther back to earth today, not because I didn't know the answer but because I didn't read the question properly.(Grrr...) I was too focused on answering quickly. Ah well, lesson learned -- at least I hope so!

Try clicking My Sploofus, Preferences, site setting, and click the box for TQOTD standings
It worked!! Now I don't have to scroll thru 37 pages (or more) to find my lowly rank.

Thanks.
