Default You know what stinks?
When I've solved a cryptogram, hit Check, and my Internet cuts out or lags to the point that the next page can't be loaded. And I try to resend, and it's still a no go. And once I DO get a new page, it's a new puzzle, and my solved puzzle doesn't count.

A pause button would also be nice, since we're timed.

I agree... I think time should stop when you press the Check button. Many times I've solved a puzzle rather quickly only to have the page get hung up, thus adding A LOT of time.

Exclamation That is so true
That is an excellent idea of having time stop after hitting enter or check it...cause that is when my internet lags or cuts out too and its a royal pain in the behind to have to come back and re do one and another one as well.

Good suggestion!!

If we had a pause button, I don't think we'd have any record times over 10 seconds any more.

yeah...im not sure about a pause button...wouldn't that allow a user to study teh puzzle with the clock stopped? if even for a second or two. i think bansai is right about the 10 second times. that is, if i am understanding what you mean about the pause button.

Default pause
If we had a pause button, the fastest time would go to the fastest typist, not the fastest solver.

The pause button could work like it does for www.websudoku.com, wherein pausing the puzzle takes you to another screen where you can't see the puzzle you're currently working on, until you unpause again.

Default Then forget the pause button
When you hit enter or check it time should stop for that puzzle, and be counted at that time!!

That wouldn't stop you from jotting it down and working it out!
