• Multiple-choice and short answer questions: These are automatically marked based on your defined correct answers.
• Long answer questions: These require manual marking, resulting in a percentage range being displayed to the user until you assess their response.
• Unmarked questions: These questions are collected but don't contribute to the overall score, allowing you to include optional or non-scored elements.

• Restrict access: Limit quiz participation to specific usergroups or newsletter subscribers.
• Shuffle content: Randomize question and answer order to make it harder to copy answers.
• Set time limits: Enforce quiz completion within a specified timeframe.
• Define open time ranges: Control when the quiz is accessible to participants.

• Navigate to Admin Zone (or CMS Zone) > Content > Quizzes.
• Use the provided interface to define your quiz questions, answer options, and settings.
• You can manage quiz results and view participant responses under Admin Zone > Audit > Quizzes.

• Surveys: These quizzes gather information from participants without right or wrong answers, making them ideal for collecting opinions and feedback.
• Tests: Tests assess knowledge with right and wrong answers and provide immediate feedback to participants, including pass/fail results. They're suitable for evaluating understanding of a topic.
• Competitions: These quizzes rank participants based on their scores, allowing you to select winners. Competitions are great for engaging users and promoting specific content or events.

• Creating an Escrow: You initiate an escrow on the member's profile points tab, specifying the amount, reason, and any agreement details.
• Points Held: The points are deducted from your balance and held by the system.
• Agreement Fulfillment: Both parties must mark the escrow as satisfied upon fulfilling the agreement.
• Points Release: Once both parties are satisfied, the recipient receives the points.
• Disputes: If either party has a dispute, they can dispute the escrow, which then locks it down and notifies a staff member to review and take a resolution action.

That depends on several factors. Here are some pros and cons of each:

It is not recommended you do this because you may run into issues. For example, some changes were made in crypto_master.php and data/upgrader2.php prior to the first v11 alpha. These changes will result in a broken upgrade unless you already pulled these changes from git. Similar situations could happen in the future as well.

It is recommended you either discard the git install and use a fresh install from the Downloads, or to maintain a git install and a bleeding-edge release install separately. Do not combine the two.
