Posts: 2913 · Posted: 20.02.2008, 01:26

My dear PCers,

I am a little concerned that I have done something to discourage too many of you from entering the Crossword Puzzle Contest to help us test this BETA edition and also for a chance to win $30.

Now you know me well enough by now to know that if something is wrong for my PCers, my first concern is to make it right!

Therefore, I am asking ALL of you to please respond here, letting me know (no matter what the reason) why more of you are not signed up for the February Crossword Contest.

I am asking you here to help me out, not worrying one bit about my feelings, so we can improve our forum further by having a FUN Crossword that you will be EAGER to attack!

Soooooo.........TRUTH - NOTHING BUT & ALL OF IT time again!

I know you will come thru for me with total honesty because that's the way we do things around here.

Your caring Guru

Hello Guru ...

My reason is the language barrier Smile

English isn't my native, so it's hard for me at times.
PLUS I s**k when it comes to cross words ... in English anyway LOL

I hope the rest who are more capable will take part ... Smile

Good thinking Smile

and (((HUGS)))

Same as beckie actually. I have a real hard time reading the numbers and it gets very frustrating because I start to type in answers only to find it was the wrong number. I would like it if the crossword was BIGGER and the NUMBERS bigger and more easily read. Even if I magnify it (which I have tried) some numbers are indistinguishable from others.

It makes it not fun when I have to strain and search for numbers rather than answer the puzzle.

PS

I meant to add. Because it takes so much time searching for numbers I usually do it in days and sometimes if I get busy then I just forget about it till someone reminds me. Like this contest LOL

I also have a problem seeing the numbers and if I wasnt phobic to things on my head or face I might be able to see them with my ifocals lol.Then like Val I just put it aside and then forget.

I had problems seeing the numbers but what I did was print the page and the questions and saw every thing much better too . Then when I got all my answers I put them in place and sumited it . So give this a try it really works . Good Luck all

Guys and gals,

Thanks for your responses to this question - here are answers to the 2 main issues that I have seen mentioned a couple of times:-

HOW TO FIND THE CROSSWORDS:-
On the Top of the forum - next to the Games link is the Crossword link (YOU MUST BE LOGGED IN TO PLAY OUR CROSSWORDS).

AND AS FOR THE SMALL TEXT / TOO SMALL TO SEE...
- Unfortunately, I'm a little restricted here as to what can be done within the realms of different people with different browers etc.. but would suggest those that are having problems reading the small text try the following:-

In Internet Explorer - you can simply go to View->Text Size->Larger - until you can see it .. (once you want to put it to normal - just do the same, but click on Medium - or whatever your usual setting)..

In Mozilla - it's similar - View->Text Size- then Increase/Decrease or Normal to put it back...

I'm sure it's similar for other browsers too wink

Hopefully the above solves most of the problems you seem to be having with these Smile

but of course let me know if they do not wink

Best regards always,
Geno/CC
