Nice to have no posts in this thread as yet :)

Is there a way to delete a post posted by a user?

Only moderators can delete posts

Can users delete their own posts? I don't know because because being a mod I can delete all posts :)

No, users can't delete their own posts.

Deb, in the thread 'Interesting Fact' that I started, I posted 'Chal Rishi... its your turn! ;-) Deb/Amit... sorry yaar, can't help you :P' on 19th Feb and Rajesh posted 'So Rohan, this year you have a chance to win both the championships in the same year. Best of luck.' on 21st Feb.
Then why is it Rajesh's post appears 'before' mine?

That is because of the 'Nested' View.
Change it to 'Flat' view and you see the difference and understand why your reply comes at the end.

Changing the view option is available at the top right corner of the thread.

What about moderators for the calendar?
There's some nonsense on 28th Feb, unless you have done it to test something.

I've deleted it now. I thought you also have permission to delete it.

@ Deb

I did not rate the sudokus appearing in Mock Test 14.

But in the result page it shows the rating of the examples.

I need to fix that. It has been pending for a while

Hi Deb -

When I am sending someone a private message, it just sits in my outbox....? (i.e. it has not been sent) --- Am I missing something pretty simple, or is there a setting I need to change?

Great website, by the way...

Thanks
dave

I got your PM, and sent you a reply too :). I guess the outbox is just a record of what you sent, and a copy is given to the recipient.

ok

My understanding is

The message remains in the Outbox until the recipient reads it.
Once the recipient reads it, the message moves to 'Sent Item'

Deb

Ohh, I just noticed the scores of various tests below the names, amazing idea!

Glad that you noticed, although you are a week late :-)

We've done minor changes the forum grouping. Hope players will find it useful.
If you have any suggestions regarding the grouping, please post it here.

I wasn't sure where to put this, it isn't a problem about the forum, it's the interactive puzzles linked on the main page. Diagonal Sudoku puzzle SetA 9x9 008 is a messed up puzzle - starts with two given 1's that are in the same row. Just wanted to let someone know...

That was badly damaged. Removed from the list. :-)

In interactive puzzles Sudokux XV/setA/9x9-H1 I am unable to find the wrong with the following solution.
148 562 397
753 914 628
692 873 415

386 741 259
974 285 136
521 396 874

419 637 582
865 129 743
237 458 961

Can any one reply me what is wrong with this solution

There is no V between 1 and 4 in row 2.

Remember that in XV puzzle, converse rules apply. That means, all possible places of X and V are marked. If there is no V, sum of adjacent digits cannot be 5. Similar rule for X / 10.

OK Thanks. This rule can be included in the instructions

It is already there.

Hi. I'm not sure where this question should go, and/but I haven't seen it answered on the forum. I'm relatively new here. I greatly enjoy the puzzles. I'm not trying to compete, not into speed or guessing, so I enjoy going back to previous contests and solving them at my own pace. [Though I do love getting the daily classic Tapa online!].

Anyway, there's generally not a need for answer key for most problems, since you usually know when you've solved them. But going back to previous Tapa Variations Contests, I'm less certain on some of the more exotic varieties if I might have missed something that otherwise looks right. Is there a place where the answers to the old contests (in the answer key form used) can be accessed?
