Crosswords

Hi,
I don't suppose there is any chance of printing the current days crossword questions in black and old questions in a different colour or some other identifier? This might help prevent making errors and save having to look through all of the irrelevant answers>

Hi williaj,

Unfortunately, we have no control over what people type. And what you suggest is very technical and I am not sure it is even possible :-) Here are two links to our crosswords and quizzes and puzzles guidelines:

Perhaps a gentle reminder would be of use.

cheers

Using the 'Search Box' at the top and bottom of the page saves having to look through all of the irrelevant answers if you use it properly!

That is true baldric

however, I feel it is probably better to encourage more and correct information relayed in the original post.

I agree with Auntie, but having directed people to the Guidelines I find that very few take any notice of it.

jno that is a little harsh, but funny :-)

I understand that the lack of information can be annoying but please remember that people are just people we all make typos or think everyone has the same information that we do, and some are not as computer literate as the rest of us.

As the puzzlers and crossworders are pretty much the reason we are here we would really appreciate it if you could show a little compassion :-)

thanks
