Posted at 2018-05-24 18:00:00 | How Try&Trix handles your personal information | The only personal information collected and stored about members by Try & Trix are:
* Your IP-adress which is necessary for the login process to work.
* Your email address which is used to be able to help with a forgotten password and in rare circumstances to deliver important information about the site or your account. It is also used at registration time (and if changed, at change time) to verify your account. Members can choose whether they want to receive news about new content through emails or not.
Further, these two items are linked to a made up, unique username that you choose yourself at registration and your membership number. It is the username that is displayed at the site for other people to see.
In some cases the ip address or email address might be checked against lists of known fraudulent behaviour in general in the past, for security reasons or to stop spam.
The personal and other information is saved in the database and in the occasional backup that is needed, in case something would happen to the site.
Try & Trix uses a visit counter from StatCounter.com. Try & Trix do not share any information with them, but you have to refer to their information for knowledge on what they collect themselves. Try & Trix have no knowledge nor say in this, and pass no information to them.
Other than that and the unlikely event that something would require Try & Trix to part with information following an inquiry from police or similar Law enforcing action, which would have to be acted upon, Try & Trix will never share, sell, trade or otherwise use your information for any other purpose than stated here.
To receive information on everything we have saved about your account or to demand to have it cleared, please login and send an email to Evreka and I will take care of it ASAP.
Thanks,

Posted at 2015-01-01 21:55:53 | Beast or Being Check Added & Non-Confirmed Accounts Largely Cleaned | Happy New Year everyone!
A few days ago I inserted a Beast or Being check at registration time, to stop automatic bots from registering in the way they have done previously. This seems to work, and I have also deleted the thousands of unconfirmed accounts that I suspect bots to be behind. If I have accidentally removed a human made account in the process, I appologize and urge you to repeat the registration again.
Cheers,
/Evreka

Posted at 2009-08-02 11:37:50 | Celebrating Birthdays - if a bit late! | This Friday was July 31st. Unfortunately I spent most of the day on a train, and most of yesterday in the bed with a terrible head ache. So a bit late, but anyway:
Happy belated Birthday, Jo Rowling! I hope you had a wonderful day!!!
and
Happy belated Birthday Harry Potter!
A new number of The Quibbler, honouring latter's birthday and more is out now. And as usual it includes a few puzzles.

Posted at 2009-05-02 10:33:09 | A Tribute to our HP Heroes | Today, 11 years ago, (in the world of HP) the Final Battle at Hogwarts took place. While it ended Voldemort's reign, it also ended the lives of a lot of characters that we love and respect.
The latest issue of The Quibbler takes a moment to honour them.
And welcome to the newest members!

Posted at 2009-04-01 00:24:35 | New Crossword up! | Welcome to the newest members!
Today I am happy to introduce the interactive version of the crossword that appeared in the December issue of The Quibbler. Not even a magical magazine can quite manage interactivity when it comes to puzzles. Apart from interactivity the new Quibbler December Crossword now comes with a bonus word and both keys and hints.
Thanks to the Quibbler Staff on the whole and wordsaremagic in particular for allowing this!
I've also updated the Link page, removing some NEW! markers that was not-so-new and added some links to The Quibbler, the online (fan-made) version of Xeno's magazine, normally bursting to the seams with "all the news you won’t find anywhere else". The current April Fool's issue, however, is all about the news you need to know... according to some at least. The Quibbler always comes in both pdf and a downloadable zip-file, both available at that link above.
I hope everyone have a funny April's Fool's Day!
Happy Puzzling!

Posted at 2008-09-30 22:25:13 | The spoiler period for DH is over! | First of all, welcome to the newest members!
The spoiler policy for DH is finally gone, and from now on T&T expects everyone to have read all seven books. All puzzles previously under the DH category have been moved to more permanent Categories after where they fit in. Also you no longer have to login to take them.
When the HBP Spoiler period ended I went through all existing puzzles and ajusted the questions or answers or declared the puzzle to be based "pre-HBP" where something became ambiguos with HBP.
This time, the amount of puzzles has grown so much this became a bit impractical. So instead of checking all old puzzles. I've simply just noted in their descriptions which book(s) they are based on.
A puzzle that is "pre-DH" might still just evolve around one book, what it means is simply that any alternatives should be considered as if the last book was not yet out. IE disregard any info from DH when you reply to such a quiz.

I've also updated the Link page to include links to the Prequel Card as well as to the brand new Quibbler, the latter being a fan project intended as a Cheering Charm.

Posted at 2008-01-14 23:20:20 | Result update complete! | > I will very soon upload some changes to how the results from Quizzes and Crosswords are stored.
Luckily this went very smoothly indeed. The upload is complete, and seems to work just fine.
If you were sent here from a puzzle page, just reload, and the puzzle page should work again.
Also found the left-over bug from the last round of updates, before today. The Sorting Hat is up and running again!
If anyone finds something that doesn't load or in some other way appears to be not working as it should, please let me know!
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Posted at 2008-01-11 22:42:40 | Rate Scripts Changed - Quiz Bugs Found! | Welcome to the newest members!
I will soon upload a changed rating script, which might create problems to rate, view rates or whatever. Hopefully nothing bad will happen, but... IF you get an error message related to rates (one way or another), it is most likely related to this.
The upload is complete and as far as I can tell it now works as it should. Eventually this new system will make it far easier for me to reply to certain rating comments which are really error reports. This is not working yet, when it does, you will hear about it! Don't hold your breath, though! I've got a ton more scripts to fix first...
While testing to see that the rating function worked, I found a few very irritating bugs in the quiz scripts. As always, bugs are fixed much quicker if I am aware of them, so please let me know when something refuses to load! The Quote Quiz is back in business, as is the functionality if you forget to answer a question in a quiz.
