Yes, you can enter further details!

Is that 6 down or 12 across, Yilly ?.

[Mamyalynne]

You can now yes.

[Tilly2]

1 across!

[Tilly2]

Has there been a problem, Mamya?

[Mamyalynne]

Hen

[Psybbo]

Ennui?

[Mamyalynne]

The problem is that the submit button allows you to post without actually adding any characters - it didn't used to do that.

[Tilly2]

Is that an endearment?

I raised it once in Ed's Blog, tilly, but heard nothing and thought perhaps I was imagining it

Seems to occur most in Crosswords

[Psybbo]

It's a factor!

[Tilly2]

....or a fiction!

I used the "Contact Us" facility regarding this issue today. I have a hunch that the Eds are more likely to see a report that way, especially if they're not screen-watching.

With more reports, a better chance of a reply from an Ed in "Ed's Blog" perhaps?

[Tilly2]

Have you not yet had a response, L-I-K?

[fiction-factory]

Three factors here I think.
First, something has changes as there was a time when the submit button didn't work until the question box was filled in.
Second, I recall that some browsers/devices (maybe phones) the question is submitted as soon as the title box is completed and Enter is pressed, giving no chance to fill the box in.
Some users using mobiles keep the question as brief as possible

Haven't looked Tilly, I sent it late today, it's the evening now & in all fairness I wouldn't expect a response at least until office hours, if at all.

I understand that it's impossible for every email to get a reply, but if enough go through on the same subject then I feel an "Ed thread" is more likely :-)
