Hi all,

just back after the virus incident, seems that all is back to normal, I see their is now a 'report this post' feature. Has it got rid of the idiots, Hope so, anything else new?
Can we make links again via HTML or is that still a no-no?

Hi Les,

Welcome back. Interesting developments -- reporting an abusive post gets it removed and a simplified HTML service is available to the right of the new message window allowing bold. italic and underlined with links converting automatically (ish)

Not sure if it's been fixed yet, but the links only worked on the homepage of the URL --

No, not fixed yet, but Ash came down from the mountain and spake unto us and said it would be so, and yea, verily, it's, er, not...

The idiots haven't necessarily gone, but their ramblings don't stick around for long.

OK Bullfrog
Just been on the Guardian web site and that looks interesting with the compilers giving a talk in Manchester this month.
Would be OK if free, but they want £12 for an hours chat about crossword compiling.
People can learn enough on here if they ask.
I'm working on a new grid at the moment Bullfrog, and I've upped the difficulty rating, just got about 8 or 9 clues to set before its finished, then will be contacting Big Dave to put it on his Weblog.
I'm hoping it will create some interest, should be done this week.
