If it suits everyone, I'll agree with the 2 points. I understand Ultra when he says it's up to the creator, so we do as we please (and the one who doesn't abide gets lynched). Suggestion: maybe we should write it down in the puzzle to make it clear, and inspire newcomers to do the same.

Besides, I already had to give 2 points for puzzles, when a guy gives a partial answer -the make- and another (not waiting for the first to complete it) the model, for instance. It made me uneasy because I felt like "spending" too much points, but I saw no other way. I still don't.

Det er så ensomt på toppen, dere må bli proffpuslere dere også!
It is so lonely at the top, you must be pro-puzzlers you too!

What's decided about the 2 points rule in the end ? Someone just solved one of my toughest Pro Puzzle and I need to know.

Ray B: As the person who started the puzzle, you decide.

so I've get 16 puzzles to my credit - I should be able to solve the rookie ones now correct? I can't seem to reply in the rookie section though.

Yes, and I believe that one or two with more than 25 solved are still rookies. It seems that a little check-up is needed.
And, by the way, couldn't the number of "puzzle points" appear for each member in the member list? That would make the job easier for the administrators.

That is due to your Feature Writer status.  I can fix that.

Let me know if that is still the case.

I am truly stumped.  I changed the admin account to Feature Writer status and I was allowed to post in the Rookie section with it.  Hence I cannot understand why you cannot do the same.  I don't know what to do now to fix your issue. 

If you would like, send me your account password and I will it try to find the problem from within your account as well as from without.

Could I get some of you other Feature Writers to try and reply to a post in the Rookie Section as well?

Thanks guys.

Ok, Arthur Dent, when you look at a thread in Rookie Puzzles, does it have a reply button for you to push?
