Any suggestions?

Re: Any suggestions?
First, start page should be 4x4 easy or user to have the option to select desired start page. Second, have the ads pop up after puzzle is solved as they take a longer time to load page.

Re: Any suggestions?
Do the puzzles have a unique identification number? If so, can it be displayed?

Re: Any suggestions?
Or a blog where people can put solving tips and hints.
A ranking table where users can select a date and see a ranking of the number of points scored by each user since that date.
An addition to the first-solver listing indicating how much time it took the first solver to get the solution.
Give users a way to e-mail each other with the choice for each user to accept or reject each e-mail.

Re: Any suggestions?
I also agree with japcione that the ads are a nuisance and they delay the speed of the puzzle loading. Maybe they can be placed in a less prominent position as well.

Thanks, that's a good idea. japcione wrote: Second, have the ads pop up after puzzle is solved as they take a longer time to load page. Yes, I'm already doing that with the timed puzzles. I'm not sure what to do with the ads: they're on there to recoup some of the costs of running the site. Any suggestions on where to put them instead are welcome. Patrick

Thanks for all the suggestions rossiniman wrote: Or a blog where people can put solving tips and hints.
I think I'll add a 2nd forum "solving strategies" or something similar. rossiniman wrote: A ranking table where users can select a date and see a ranking of the number of points scored by each user since that date That's a bit more involved.. rossiniman wrote: An addition to the first-solver listing indicating how much time it took the first solver to get the solution. Yes, thanks, I can add the solving time. rossiniman wrote: Give users a way to e-mail each other with the choice for each user to accept or reject each e-mail. That should be possible in the forum now! (if all works as planned, you can send private messages to forum users)(let me know if it doesn't work) Patrick
