Mark,
Sorry about this I'm a beginner and geting into trouble from everybody. None of the questions are crosswords - they're all from a local quiz called "Sports and Games Quiz 2011" - Am I still doing things wrong as I can't find a help section to look at!
Thanks for your Help
Neil

Neil- don't worry about it :-)

You're doing ok, you're now asking your questions all in the correct category and not 'flooding ' the page. Some people just like to get their knickers in a twist over the littlest things, don't let it get to you, and don't let it put you off the site, some great folk here.

Good luck getting your answers.

We'll help, neil, don't worry - you're not in trouble, we're just trying to help you get started.

Next time, if you put "Sports and Games Quiz 2011" in the title box, that'll tell us straight away the sort of answers you are looking for.

Don't worry - you'll get the hang of it, and you've got some answers already!

PS neil - do ignore that thing which says "Mark as best answer"!

Neil, you're doing fine now. You'll be an old hand at this in no time. Just give us as much info as you can in the original question, like whether it's a quiz or a crossword and if there is a theme and we will be better able to help you. Welcome to the AnswerBank.

[Neil1]

[JMR27]
