I have a theme for a few puzzles in mind...catch is, they may be on the easy side...and I don't think I can post them in the rookie section. Any thoughts?

Another approach would be to toughen them up some with some judicious cropping and blurring.

Actually, you can post and reply to your own posts in the Rookie Forums.  Pro auto puzzlers are only forbidden to reply to other peoples posts there.

So please, post some Rookie Puzzles you guys.  Don't delay!!!!  As Pro Auto puzzlers, your skills at choosing puzzles should be on display.

If we do miss one, let us know.  :)

If you would like the AutoPuzzles accounting department to audit all of you posts, we can do that too, but it takes a while.  ;)

It is working.

It was one your better ideas!
How about crediting a puzzler with a point if they post an unsolvable puzzle?  Or is there any such thing?  Maybe not...
