Post subject:  Can't get the puzzles to load today

When I went to do my morning puzzles with my cup of coffee, I found that they will not load. I get the puzzle, but the ads don't load, and I am unable to enter numbers. Since nothing else seems to be wrong with my computer, I assume that this is a systemic problem with the site that needs some attention. (I'm very frustrated that I can't get my daily points!)
cheers

I've done some tests, and it seems to be a conflict between Safari (which I think
is the browser you're using) and the ads on the page (!)

Try to reload the page. Once you get the "Remove Ads" link, click on it to get rid of the ads.

Alternatively, try Firefox (I did not see the problem with Firefox, but then again, a different
ad may have been loaded, and I'm running a newer version of Mac OS X here)

Let me know,

Patrick

I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the ads

( [cursing] poor quality code being served to my site from the outside..)

So for now I've disabled the ads, the page seems to work ok again in Safari, let me know.

Thanks so much for being so prompt!!!

Tried Safari again, but it still gets paralyzed. Never gets to the "remove ads" button

I can't try Firefox because (blush) I've completely forgotten my password and I can't find a button to change it in Safari so I can login to firefox.

I'm going out for an hour or so, will check in when I get back

cheers

I removed the ads now, did you try the page without the ads?

Reset your password?

Safari is still stuck

I'd be happy to reset my password if I could discover how - I can't find a place on the site to do that. Am I missing something?

thanks
Isidore

Yes, on the login page, the "forgot my password" link.

Many thanks

I changed my password, which seemed to cause Safari to lose my points, but I'm now logged in on Firefox and everything is working

By the way, I could not see how to get to the login page from the main screen, and still feel as if I am missing something.

Greatly appreciate this site, and will eventually subscribe, I promise

cheers

Ok, good :-)

You'll only see that link if you're not logged in (big blue-on-green links "Sign up" and "Login" in the top left)
