Hello. There better be an option to stop at the Puzzle Expo. Just like on the gmpuzzles site. Because when I leave the question halfway, when I return to the question later, the time does not pick up where it left off. 47 min also shows the question I solved as 7 hours.

I usually solve with Number - Candidates mode. Replays doesn't show candidates at all. During solving I enter few candidates in a cell, but in replay only big digit is shown at that cell.

This is the designed implementation at the moment. We are not planning to revise it, for now.

we will have this debugged.

I'm very very new on the site, and I'm finding it very difficult to understand the controls on the puzzles. Spending too much time on the controls increases the puzzle time even though I didn't do that. Can there be a tutorial version for first timers to understand the controls?

In any list, ordering the puzzles by using the "size" column does weird things. My guess is, the ordering is alphanumerical using the string in the size column. Probably the number of cells should be used.

Fixed this. Ordering is now based on "Number of Cells".

Thank you, but can you please check again? It's working for the full list of puzzles now (as you can access it via the "recently published" button on the main site), but as soon as I'm setting any kind of filter (like excluding my solved puzzles or anything else), I'm still not able to order it by size.

Where can I register or get updates about the next contest

Is there any reason why black coloured numbers are not accepted for answer checker? Usually (always?) only Green, Blue or Red colour numbers are required. Can you add black colour too? I solved some puzzles correctly with black numbers (when using Candidates mode, sometimes digits are set black as default), only to realize (usually after few minutes of searching for error) I need to rewrite them to needed colour.

hi

NICE

Submission process gives a mismatch error when the new linedir mode is selected as preselected input. Not sure if I can upload images to posts here, please see https://i.imgur.com/qvKThHf.png

I havent yet integrated all the main penpa_PLUS_ changes to the LMI version and so LMI version doesn't have linedir mode yet causing this error.I am currently traveling and it will be few weeks before I can align both versions. Until then I recommend using Line X mode. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for your feedback. I will discuss with the team and make the necessary changes in the next update.

Ah that explains, thanks!

Another thing I just noticed, it seems impossible to watch replays of (test) solves by others on my puzzles still in draft. I get a "please solve the puzzle first" popup. Seems like a useful option to have for puzzles in testing.

hiii

I just had to take down a Scrabble puzzle that was having trouble understanding the answer check. I tried remaking it, this time starting to make it in LMI Expo (previously I imported a Penpa link). So, the same time occurs and I don't understand what to do about it. I tried with all colors for number, capital and small letter. Anyone has experience with solution check having difficulties with letters?

Can you send the puzzle link (penpa link that you tried to import), I can take a look and let you know what could be the issue. Since you don't want to reveal the puzzle publicly before uploading it to Expo, you can send it to the email penpaplus@gmail.com
I can guide you further through emails.
