Any thoughts on what the problem is? Thank you! |
It sounds like your web browser isn't handling the new javascript correctly. What browser are you using? Is it up to date? |

It's very hard to get updated software here so I might have to just do them at home. Thanks for the reply! |

That's odd - both of those browsers should work fine (I tested with IE9 and it was fine). I suspect something else must be going on.
Something you could try in either browser - push the f12 key on your keyboard before you load a puzzle, and select the "console" tab. Now if there are any unexpected errors when the puzzle loads, it should put them there.

Thanks for that - give it another try now; hopefully that's sorted it... |

New solver works great! good work...
Found a small problem. Clicking 'solution' against an archive puzzle doesn't display any lines... |

Thanks for pointing that out - it should be working again now. |
