I've added an 'import puzzle' button to the puzzle designer on forum posts. This will save some clicking by allowing you to paste in the puzzle string as seen when editing forum posts. You can also enter a string in "loopy" format, for example:-

4x4:3d2a03b2311a

entered via 'import puzzle' gives this:-


If there's anything slightly wrong with the string you put in, the puzzle probably won't appear at all. Also don't forget you still have to push the 'insert into message' button!

Isn't that 2 by the 3's unnecessary?

Sorry... I couldn't help myself. 

Seriously, that's pretty handy.  I just wanted an excuse to use it.

just curious but how will this help those of us that see this code thing go right over our head?

actually this is how if someone posts a puzzle then you can quote them and get the code. You can copy the code into the box and load their puzzle so you can do it online without having to print.
