Testing forum restart

Hey Marty

This is set as an anti-spam measure -- many posts in a short time is suggestive of a spam-bot. This interval was previously 120 secs -- too long. And actually I think I've covered the s ...

The "log me in each time I visit" option does not work. I have to log in each time. (It works at other sites like sudoku.com.)

This works most of the time for me, but using the admin int ...

any possibility you can make some squiggly 12x12's?

I thought about this before, but there are some dumb technical issues that make it tough for the software to make larger than 9x9 squigglys.

What I found that I don't like with the Sweep mode is that the computer does not eliminate the candidates that should be eliminated like with the pairs of 39 in row 2.

That's intentional! If it re ...

Now I definitely think that the Forum should be restricted to posts from Registered Users.

It has been restricted for a while now.

In fact, is there a way that we can make registration more diff ...

The message read icons are not updating for me.

This is OK for me, but sometimes you might need to force a refresh of the page to avoid the version your browser has probably cached. Q10 on the FAQ ...

I think you should have a hierarchy:

Mild hint: Locked candidate
Strong Hint: Locked candidate in Box 1
Answer: R2C3=4

Yep -- you mentioned this before and I like the idea. I have it on ...

I'm sorry it's taken a while to get the forums back up. We had hardware problems, followed by corrupt backups and phpBB version incompatabilities. The upshot is that I'm afraid we've lost a few mont ...

Are we up?

I checked the setting for successive postings. It is 120 seconds.

Actually, it was 30 secs but I upped it last night, because spam this week has been bad. There are various other anti-spam measure ...

I'm wondering, are there any more "upgrades" like this in the pipeline?

Hello gohast

Eventually yes -- unfortunately all dependent on me getting down to it! I keep getting distracted by things like ...

Just speaking for myself, of course, but I'd like to see more Very Hards. There are four different grading levels, but it's now been six days without a VH.

Hey Marty

I answer this a fair bit by emai ...

Could someone tell me what this item from the "Help" section means:

"Hold down the <Ctrl> or <Alt> key and press a number to more than one option as pencil mark. Pressing <Ctrl> or ...

Is this puzzle rated "hard" or "very hard"?

This puzzle is initially rated as "Hard" but when I press the "Grade" button on the initial puzzle, it changes the difficulty rating to "very hard".

Seems like it should be 4 lines of code to enable this. Anyone???

It's on the todo list (and has been for a while). Unfortunately, because much of the code originates from before the growth and dis ...

As I understand the explanations samgj has given already, the difficulty rating is based on the number of "choke points" in a puzzle -- three or more qualify it for the "very hard" rating.

This is hi ...

If a message is posted that is obviously spam, should we send a pm to any/all of the moderators to alert them? Or just do nothing on the assumption that one or the other of the moderators is going to ...

Thanks. I have now had my fix. Why are they not appearing in the archive as usual ?

Answered elsewhere also. To make a short story shorter: holiday ... breakage ... back ... fixed :)
