Hello,

I have a need to post a puzzle for help but i can not make it easy to read for the generous people that take the time to respond.

I have read about using the code button, then typing in my numbers and then using the code button again. However I must be doing something wrong.

thank you in advance.

I want some help with a particular puzzle in finding some UR's or just a way without guessing.

Its good enough, when you post it this way:

[code]
...1.8...
.5.......
6.2...1.9
.3.7.1.52
4........
28.4.6.7.
8.....5.1
.......3.
...9.2...
[/code]

But dont "Disable BBCode in this post" (as i did here for demonstration) to have it better formatted. (This is a fine UR puzzle posted by Keith).
You can type in or copy your puzzle, mark it and press the Code button, then [code] and [/code] will be inserted before and after the marked text.

Tom,

If you are on a PC, use "Notepad" to type in your puzzle. Make sure it all lines up as you want.

Then, post a message. Click the "Code" button. Copy and paste the puzzle from Notepad. Click the "*Code" button.

Now, click "Preview". Does it look ok? If not, edit your message in the text window. Click "Preview" again. When you are all done, click "Submit".

Still not happy? You can edit a message posted by you. Look for the "Edit" icon at the top of the message. Fixing the formatting or correcting typos is not a problem. If you do change the meaning of something, you should note something like "edited" at the place where you made the change.

And the most important thing: When you get answers, let the people know, that you read them

i got a nice little spreadsheet in excel that generates the code for you, you just type in a puzzle and it adds the -'s and |'s untill your puzzle looks like this

Code: Select all
