I mentioned this in the minor issues thread a short while ago. Glad it's not just me.

It's been noted in the Editors' part of the site but probably needs Terry to fix it. Understanding time differences has always eluded me but I think it could be night where he is.

Yup and it's late for Terry right now so it might be an overlooked issue that'll need to be fixed later today. In the meantime: https://www.funtrivia.com/quizlist2.cfm?myquizzes=1&unfinished=yes

Yes, I'm now able to access the site but my crosswords which were saved there have all disappeared, including one that I submitted yesterday!

I see a crossword from you in the General queue - was it that one?

That one is in the queue for editing, but I think the problem is that crosswords "in progress" are no longer showing in Author Central (I have checked my own, and this seems to be the case for me too). The problem becomes finding those puzzles (which may be all ready to submit), unless one has created a link to them.

They are back! Right at the bottom of the page now (hope I didn't just miss them before). Thanks, Terry!

Was the 'works in progress' window of Author Central flipped? Used to be that the oldest quiz was at the top.

Yeah I moved the crosswords out separately too.

It seemed to me that it made most sense to have the newest ones at top? Or no?

Yes, the 'missing' crosswords have now reappeared. Thank you!

Probably doesn't make the biggest difference. I'm just used to my oldest looking at me accusingly when I go in there. wink

For me, since the oldest ones are the ones I’m never going to actually write, it makes sense!

One thing last year's lockdown allowed me to do was actually get so many of the really old ones done!
