 		Who would have thought ampusands & apostrophes would be the thorn in our sides. I've just scratched the code of a third card, so if anybody knows anyone who hasn't got this card & would like a free card & unused code then drop me a mail from http://perplexcitytrades.com/Edward Nigma

 		hmmm

mines not letting me log into solve it.

i locked it last night and now whenever i type the code in it says

SOLVE NOT ALLOWED
This card is locked because you've tried to solve it more than three times in the last 24 hours.

This card will be unlocked within 1 minutes.

But its been saying that for about half an hour now.

I'm getting the same problem with this and numerous other cards. I think it's because theres an actual script or something that has to get around to "clearing" the card, rather than an automatic checker against the time. I think when you log in with the code, it sees it should've been cleared but hasn't (probably due to insane traffic on the solver forms right now) and so it says 'within 1 minute' because really it's anyone's guess.

When I've seen these replace the 1 hour warning, it's taken anywhere from 2 minutes to 45 minutes for them to actually clear. Ah well. Eventually it will let you in Smile

I've had that too but I think it's meant to say 1 hour.

 		I had same problem - eventually got in and solved it about 45 minutes later.

I also e-mailed to let them know there was a problem.

You & me both! Cursing Lost count of the times Ive been locked out for the sake of an apostrophe! (Remember the 1st wave card about book titles anyone? Racked up a host of fails worrying about whether they wanted the English or American title for the Harry Potter book only to realise all too late that there was an apostrophe missing from one of my answers! Cursing)

What gets me though is that if spelling & punctuation are so important why say on the solve page that it is case insensitive? Surely using capital letters for proper names & places etc is as important as the odd apostrophe?

However, we have been warned and should all know by now that spelling & punctuation do matter when typing in solves so we only have ourselves to blame Bang Head

Here endeth the lesson

 		Rats! I hadn't noticed there was a third page on this subject & I just wasted three attempts.

For those who know the tube map, you might like a laugh, I tried the first one as 'Maida Vale' (maid of ale!)

CHEERS
