Please note that I’m trying a new method of cycling this page. In case of problems, please let me know.
Having inconsistent issues when attempting to comment. Sometimes no problem, other times Permission Denied and, just now, something along the lines of, ‘Wait until this is verified’.
And yet this one worked with no problems at all 😊
Can you please delete my comment @17 on today’s Paul blog, as I have just realised it contains a spoiler for this week’s Guardian Prize. Sorry.
Liari @96 (previous page), Setters have been updated
Just for information – the Guardian Maskarade Bank Holiday Special is in the main paper today on page 52 , the answers are at the bottom of the page and I guess it is not online because of the format .
If we get a blog then one week later seemed very popular last time but it is up to the blogger .
Hi Roz @5 – Duncan will probably be along later to say it’s all in hand, because there’s a rota. There’s also a FT Jumbo from Julius (my job).
Thanks Shanne@6 , the FT Jumbo always seems to be just their normal crossword for the day , just larger . They usually have a 15×15 online only as well .
Hi Ken. Should there be an announcements folder somewhere in the drop downs?
@8
Do you mean on the menu bar?
As far as I can remember there never was but that doesn’t mean that there shouldn’t be. I’ll mull it over.
Admin @9. That’s where I meant. My memory perhaps playing tricks on me, but I thought it used to be there somewhere
@8/@9/@10
Announceents added under “Info”
I am having the same problem as SteveThePirate@1. Permission denied.
Thanks Ken / Admin!
Still cannot post 403 permission denied. All very frustrating .
But I can post here but not in general discussion nor on the puzzles.
Now it has been accepted. Curiouser and curiouser as Alice remarked.
SM @12/@14/@15/@16
Weird. It’s always difficult to track down intermittent problems. If/when it happens again, can you take a screenshot and send to admin. It still might not help, of course
Is there going to be a blog for the excellent FT Jumbo puzzle published last Saturday?
Bagpuss @ 18
I was wondering that. I too thought it was a great puzzle which I very much enjoyed.
But there are three answers I can’t parse so would like to see a blog
Bagpuss @18 and Fiona @19 – it’s scheduled for 00:01 on Monday morning, 7 September, as apparently that’s when the FT publish their solution.
Thank you, Shanne.
Will there be an Indy blog today? Curious to know if anyone can shed light on the intriguing pseudonym “Spartacus”
Indeed, still no Indy blog.
Today’s Indy seems to have fallen through the cracks. We had some trouble with scheduling calendar. I shall launch a full scale investigation. In the meantime, I advise you not to leave town.
Blog on today’s Guardian by Budmo (not the recent quick cryptic)?
Ditto – is there a problem?
No FT blog today ? Not complaining , I know bloggers can have technical issues or just be busy with life .
Format of help has changed, less informative – shame. Several answers attached the wrong clue numbers. Generally a less useful site. Can we have the previous version back please.
Any idea when a blog for today’s Guardian Yank crossword will appear?
Will there be an FT blog today for the Solomon puzzle ?
Hi Ken
I had an odd little message after posting on the FT blog. First bit of spam generated via 225 and it also gave me Turbolegs’ private email address in the cc.
Hi PostMark,
Thanks for your comment on “Financial Times 18,519 by SOLOMON”!
I noticed that you didn’t have your own picture or profile next to your comment. Setting it up on Gravatar is quick and easy — just click below:

It’s a free profile and avatar image used on thousands of sites. With one setup, you’re good to go across the web!
Hope to see you back on Fifteensquared soon.

I got a gravatar message as well, with the same cc’d email issue
@31 & @32
Sincere apologies. I switched on an option, which I’ve now switched off.
Thx Ken. I note my message does actually give away my own email address in the blue bit. I’m not enormously bothered by that but, as the issue is now resolved, perhaps you could delete my comment at some point.
Thx as always. Hope the hangover has receded …
Yes, I received one of those emails after a recent comment on a Budmo puzzle. Glad to see it isn’t a scam, but please don’t send me any more of them.
For people mourning the loss of new crosswords at the Independent, Phi is going to continue setting Phi-day crosswords on his website – starting on 6th November. Is it worth blogging them here?
(I got this nugget from the Guardian Cluesletter email)
[I also had one of those emails offering me a gravatar, as I wished FifteenSquared happy birthday on Sunday – the air around me turned navy.]
Re: Postmark@34: that email address is still showing….
Not seeing this week’s Spectator blog. Should be no. 2774.
See it now, thanks.
I second Shanne’s idea of blogging the Phidays puzzles.
I third Shanne’s suggestion, as long as that’s something Phi himself would be open to.
Here’s another one hoping you can find space to blog Phi’s ‘Phiday’ puzzles.
No Azed blog today?
