The competition: Across Lite 2.0 displays the full title correctly if you stretch the window enough. It does some odd things if the window is too small. Wordplay truncates the title.

The complete title says:

I like the interface of Black Ink *so* much better than the clunky Across Lite, but the bugs are definitely distracting. Any thoughts on another go at fixing the multi-letter entry for the next version?]]> http://www.red-sweater.com/forums/discussion/1051/how-to-add-a-new-web-puzzle-source Sat, 17 Jan 2009 22:17:45 -0500 1051@/forums/discussions Web Source Name: People Magazine

I'm not sure if they just don't do one every week or what.

How do we find out how often the puzzle is updated?]]> http://www.red-sweater.com/forums/discussion/864/adding-solution-to-nytimes-premium Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:30:16 -0400 864@/forums/discussions

I have zipped the puzzle, saved in its broken state, and emailed it to you. I can still do the puzzle just leaving out those 4-character inclusions.

Adam]]> http://www.red-sweater.com/forums/discussion/1020/saving Sat, 27 Dec 2008 07:12:45 -0500 1020@/forums/discussions Just updated Black Ink and now I'm unable to save my puzzles as I work on them (don't have privileges).
How do I save my work as I go?

If you're feeling up to the task of beta testing for this release, please contact me and let me know you'd like to join up. The type of beta tester I'm looking for should satisfy these characteristics:

- Cares deeply about the evolution of Black Ink
- Willing to try out new beta releases even if they don't contain flashy new features
- Committed to reporting bugs and workflow problems when encountered
- Willing to subscribe to a low-volume mailing list for beta testers

If you're interested, please drop me a line and let me know the email address you'd like to use for subscribing to the discussion list. Also, it would be nice to know which type(s) of machine(s) you're running Black Ink on, so I know how well the coverage is.

I'd love to have you help out if you feel you have the time to pitch in and help. It will make me feel a lot better finishing up 1.1 if I know I have a good core group of testers to try out the builds. Thanks!

I am a Premium Subscriber and had used this url code:

but now it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

As the new guy here I just wanted to take a second to say how much I've enjoyed this program already. I also wondered if anyone else shared the obsession of converting puzzles to be solved with Black Ink or Across Lite. I have converted roughly 200-300 puzzles to date. Was wondering if anyone else had any that they might like to swap. I don't think this is a copyright infringement (at least I hope not). I have sent Litzed puzzles to some of my favorite constructors as a way of saying thanks for all their hard work.

If anyone might be interested in a swap please reply and let's see what we can do. I'd also like to take a minute to thank Daniel for the wonderful program. I am a recent convert to the Mac and will NEVER go back to a PC.

Thanks for listening, Joe]]> http://www.red-sweater.com/forums/discussion/974/little-rock-daily-record Tue, 11 Nov 2008 10:18:58 -0500 974@/forums/discussions

I will have to remove the source from the application in the next release, but in the mean time this explains why it's not providing any new downloads.
