We just deployed an update to the site.
The biggest change is the addition of the quiz capsule, and widget. It's easier to just see how it works than to explain, but basically it allows you to create trivia quizzes, quizzes that rank you on a single scale, and quizzes that classify you based on your answers. It can also be taken off of HubPages and placed as a widget on other sites.
The second change is that we've enabled eBay Partner Network domain verification, and as a result those of you that aren't already approved for ePN can once again apply using only your HubPages presence.
If you signed up for ePN prior to August 1st, you don't have to verify the HubPages domain. However, it won't hurt anything, so I'd go ahead and do it anyway. If you signed up for ePN August 1st or after, you must verify the hubpages.com domain.
Please note that ePN is still fairly picky in who they accept. If you are applying for the first time or again, please fill out the application completely and accurately and try and make a compelling case for how you will benefit eBay as an affiliate.
One other small change, you can now place a caption below a table when using the table capsule. You can also pick from a few different color schemes for you table.
As always, please let us know if you notice any problems with these new features, or the site in general.
Thanks!

Thanks. I just use quiz capsule in one hub just now. you may visit that by the following link:
IQ Test Questions and Answers: Some Job Aptitude Test or Aptitude Testing Questions and Answers
It really looks great. I really like it!! Thanks Paul and hubpages team.
rancidTasteHP rocks!
I love the new quiz capsule. Fawntia and team, you did a great job!
I think it would be great to be able to see new quizzes created without having to read through a hub. Is there a way to put them in the category pages, or somewhere else so I can find them easily?
I also thought it would be cool to see related quizzes when you are finished with a quiz or when you are reading a hub about a certain topic. For example, there are related hubs to the side and there could be related quizzes, too.
Thanks again for all of your hard work! RobinRobin, thanks for the suggestions. There are definitely a bunch of interesting things we can do with quizzes in the future.
I'm also glad to hear that you like the quiz capsule. I think it might be the biggest project I have worked on at HubPages so far, so I really hope that people have fun with it.

omg thanks so much. I and many other newbies have been going crazy! I will just wait for ebay to do their thing. Thats a load off my mind. BTW...I sent you an email to ask if I could hub about this, not realizing you already did. Sorry
OK. They don't call me a dumb Swede for nothing. I still can't figure out if I'm supposed to load something into the base directory here, or if I'm to copy and paste stuff where ever... PLEASE help?

Hi Ariztokat,
Are you having trouble setting up the quiz or is your question about eBay?
Thanks,
-LarryIt's eBay that's giving me nightmares. I can't figure out what it is I'm supposed to do. When I follow the step by step posted here at the Hub, I keep running up against eBay's wall. They want me to post an epndomain.txt file in the base directory here (Hub). Nowhere onsite can I find out how to do that. Sorry if you're not the one I need to ask, but you're the one who answered my post. lol. Thank you, btw.

Hi Kat!
You might want to try doing the following to bypass the problem you're having.
1. Click on the "Domain Confirmation Page" link in the "Confirm your eBay Partner Network domains" email instructions you received from eBay. (It's Step 4.) A new window should open for the page.
2. About 2/3 of the way down the page, there should be a box that says "I cannot validate one or more of my domains". (It's right above the Update button.) Check it and a new text box will open directly under it.
3. In the new text box, enter the reason you can't validate your domain. (A brief explanation should do.) Then click the Update button that's located on the bottom right-hand side of the text box.
You should see a message saying something like "Your validation reason has been updated".
That's it. Now you'll have to wait to hear back from eBay -- and I have absolutely no idea what they'll say! I had a validation problem too and I'm waiting for them to answer ME.
I don't know if that helps you any but I tried!
Good luck!

-- SaraI tried this too...haven't heard a word from them. I typed in the space that I didn't understand the directions. They'll probablly discard me for computer ingnorance, but man, I don't know how to do all that stuff. I can try, but to no avail. Then some people say this is easy, but it's not easy if you dont' know the terms like TXT file...what the..?? I didn't grow up with computers..they didnt' have em when I was in school so I'm self taught. I'm not giving up thought, until I get it right.
