Has the “edit post” facility been removed. I only noticed this today. Apologies if I’ve missed something.
Oh it came up for this post but not on the Gemelo thread
I like the new yellow text highlighting feature when search results are returned. Thanks!
@2 Thanks for noticing.
It’s a facility I’m evaluating and I hope to add extra features to it.
I’m not liking the change, since it seems to now sort search results by best match rather than by date. That search made it easy to check that I had a correct answer without seeing the rest of the answers.
Lyssian @103 on the previous page.
Try again. Should work now.
I suspect this is just how the site is but we now have three users called “jay” commenting on some blogs. First there was Jay, then JAY and then later another Jay (with a different avatar). This can cause confusion.
This is actually Max. I assume I can put anything I like in the name field.
Luckily, fifteensquared is a small and friendly community and can probably sort this out through self- policing. The second “Jay” has already volunteered to use a different name.
@ kenmac
Is there going to be a blog of the FT 18141 BH Saturday Jumbo by Guy?
@9
Expect it soon
Any chance of instituting blogs for the TLS crosswords? They have a formidable stable of setters, including Broteas (Peter Biddlecombe, Sunday Times crossword editor), Agenor (aka Twin), and Talos (aka Hoskins).
Is it really asking too much for the Guardian blog to include the word “Guardian” in the title as it used to (and as is the pattern for all the other blogs)?
While each instance is only a minor inconvenience, the daily repetition adds up.
(And yes, I know it appears in small print below the title and intro, but that’s not the point. The inconsistent format is a constant, needling inconvenience that is so easily avoidable.)
@13
As you may or may not know, some of the bloggers use a utility that creates the appropriate blog.
Shortly the utility will be amended to provide consistency among blog titles.
Blogs produced without using the utility will be unaffected.
Let’s see how it goes.
Many thanks!
Hi kenmac, to repeat phitonelly’s question @72 on Guardian 29,781 the other day, is the Maskarade special puzzle from the bank holiday weekend going to be blogged?
@16
Hopefully it will appear tomorrow.
Thank you.
Hi Kenmac
I don’t think the larger font size for headings is an improvement!
I agree with muffin @19: it’s taking up too much of the screen, and it’s actually less readable than before because it spreads the titles over two lines.
Hi Kenmac
The bigger font size is good for me – probably going to be another of those pantomime issues, i.e. “it’s better!” “Oh no it isn’t!”. Have a stiff drink to hand.
@19/20/21
I made a small change the other day to make “Select Category” a bit more obvious.
I had noticed that many people are using the search facility to search for categories and I was acting under a desire for efficiency.
Anyway, a side effect of the change was that post headings reduced in size. And I don’t understand why.
Anticipating an outcry, I changed it back to what I guessed was the original size.
In hindsight because no-one seemed to mind, I’ve reverted to the smaller size.
I’ve been having problems getting onto this website in the last week or so. I get a database connection error message, which I can usually overcome by refreshing the page, but not always.
It’s not happening on any of the other sites that I visit regularly. It happens on my laptop at home and also on my phone when roaming, so there’s no other common factor (apart from me! 🙂 ). Is this happening to others?
SH @23
Yes, last two or three days
It appears to be a hiccup at the hosting company. I’m hopeful that it will just sort itself out.
It is being particularly recalcitrant this morning! I needed 6 goes to reload the Guardian blog just now.
Unfortunately, problem is persisting. Exactly the same experience as sheffield hatter and only on 225.
(Though I read that TTFT and Times solvers have been having problems too. WordPress related, apparently)
Worse than ever this morning – though if it’s a general WordPress problem I don’t suppose there’s much that our Admin can do about it.
OK. I’ve taken a look at some advice on the internet and ended up doing a database repair (and optimise)
Fingers crossed🤞
Also Eileen and others lower down in the Vlad blog posts are reporting that her email address appears to have been compromised. You may be aware of that but it hasn’t been reported here. Wondering if it’s a related problem and if any one else could be similarly affected?
(Multiple attempts to post this.)
Sorry KenMac. I inadvertently copied only part of my original post. Thank you for your efforts. Afraid the database error messages have been frequent here this Friday morning Australian time.
I’m still trying to fix this. It’s proving more difficult than usual as I’m on holiday.
I have just disabled the new search facility to see if that might be the culprit.
🤞
Thank you, paddymelon @30. I’m afraid my email has been hacked and I’m unable to send or receive emails and, like others, have been having great difficulty in posting here. I’m trying very hard to get the problem solved and I hope that no one here has been taken in by a particularly nasty scam.
Do not reply to an innocent-sounding email, supposedly from me, asking if you use Amazon, or you will receive a request asking you to send £300 for me to help a friend with breast cancer.
I don’t think this is connected to the database error problem, which I’ve been experiencing for several weeks now but which was much worse yesterday.
Ken @32 – the problem is much wider across WordPress, having tried to sign up for something else this morning and realised that they had to be hosted on WordPress as I kept seeing all too familiar screens. The prove I’m human and the hanging screens.
My daughter, who is active on Tumblr is muttering that the owner of Automatic, the company that owns Tumblr and WordPress, has obviously got annoyed about something and that’s why these sites are having problems.
@Kenmac. A very unfortunate time while you’re on holidays. Hope you can still enjoy your well-deserved break.
Eileen@33. I only mentioned your email problem as a potential diagnostic tool for KenMac. You may be infected from this bug and, from the Vlad blog, others were receiving emails purported to be from you. Unless you had exchanged personal emails it would seem the common source was 15sq, or, as Shanne has said @34, maybe this is a wider thing, possibly WordPress.
New search facility has been exonerated.
Next thing I’m trying is moving away from Cloudflare but that won’t be until Sep 17th at the earliest. 😠
My two cents on this: Perhaps the problem is with the hosting provider. Maybe their tech support can be contacted to arrange a database connection stress test. Could be a misconfigured or under-resourced DB connection pool?
I am getting “establishing database connection errors” too, even to this page. Refreshing the page does seem to succeed sometimes, as a workaround.
Hi
I’m having enormous difficulty getting into the site. I’m not sure you are aware but I am one of a few relatively new crossword enthusiasts working diligently through your back pages for the last three years. I finished the quiptics and went on to the easier cryptic solutions. I have a feeling I have been locked out by the administrators who think I’m a hacker ( trust me I’m near 75 years old .. I’m not even sure what the word means)
If I have been locked out can you please undo it. I thought the whole idea was to encourage newbies like me to learn about how to solve cross words. FYI the error message I get is “error consolidation database”
Ken, at your request, here’s a post with a link.
Hi GDU.
It did, indeed, go to spam. The URL was malformed as:
http://https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_trimmer can you try again?
How’s this?
It seems to work. I hope that it hasn’t just been user error all along. How embarrassing 🙂
Thanks for looking into this, Ken
PICNIC
Problem in chair, not in computer.
No worries Geoff. Glad we sorted it out.
Yeehah! The access problems seem to have been resolved. Thank you kenmac/Admin.
For a few weeks I’ve been unable to search for clues – I do the i (recycled) crosswords and need to dig out the first appearance of a puzzle to see the blog. I type in the clue, and nothing happens.
@45
Can you give an example?
It’s sort of working again!
These searches from yesterday’s Tees puzzle did not work –
Get out with this key (no response at all, not even ‘Nothing found’ – which is what’s been happening ALL the time)
also
One who thought about deer as scent spread about
and
Stomach large? Move slowly (this did bring up some of the individual words)
But today these DID:
Indebted veteran stuffs live chicken
Perfumed powder found in metal crate
So … I hope it’s resolved itself, or you did it somehow. Thank you!
Hi Ken. Previous comment @48 looks well dodgy
Thanks Ken
Has the Listener blog for Sept 19 (4883) gone missing somewhere?
https://www.fifteensquared.net/?p=199451&preview=true
“Oops! That page can’t be found.”
Hi
Not sure whether Tim C is referring to the same thing as me. “Oops! That page can’t be found.” is what I get when trying to open the Setters page today.
I might have missed something but it seems an odd thing for the site to drop so I am suspecting a gremlin.
Same message PostMark @53, but I was getting it when I clicked on the link @51. I also get it for the setters page like you.
Hmm… I’ve been doing this on my phone and it gets a bit (too) fiddly.
I think I’ve accidentally set “admin only” links.
I’ll fix it in a coupla hours
Should be OK now. For some reason, both posts were in draft.
Setters was probably because I made a recent change.
Listener seemed to miss its publication date/time. That happens now-and-again with WordPress.
Sorry Admin but problems continue. I have been getting quite a few:
Service Unavailable
The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
Additionally, a 503 Service Unavailable error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
both on the main blogs and, ironically, when trying to enter Site Feedback.
Thanks for sorting the other things.
PM
Admin @56: The Links page may have fallen foul of the same unintentional change as Setters – it’s coming up as “page not found”.
There’s a rather unpleasant post @18 on the Guardian Pangakupu thread.
Site keeps forgetting who I am. I’ve ticked the box and cleared Safari’s history (the usual culprit) to no avail. Any ideas?
Some parts of the site are misbehaving. I temporarily switched of the “remember me” feature. It should be OK now. Can you try again?
muffin @59 – the post has been deleted.
Admin @61 I was experiencing the same problem as Hovis earlier. Trying again now.
Nope: name not stored. It’s not a big issue, as if I click on Name, that and my previous nom de guerre are offered, as are the two email addresses if I click on Email.
Many thanks for your efforts but I’m with Braze @4. The search feature now sorts by match (?) and not by date. As we down under get the Everyman 5-6 weeks late and its number is not included in the NZ Harold, it is nigh on impossible to find the relevant blog. Any help would be most appreciated.
As part of the migration process I had to disable the new search facility.
I hope to get it working again soon.
On the Guardian prize blog today, the comment counter has stuck at four, which was reached at 1:32am. At the time of writing, there are actually 27 comments.
Looks like something has broken.
Further to mine @66, the count is at 23 on the Home page but stuck at four on the Guardian page. There are actually 27 comments: 27 minus 23 equals 4.
Hope this helps identify the fault.
sh @66, 67 – yes, I mentioned this yesterday on the ‘all hopefully back to normal’ thread that has now gone. Same on the QC: home page says 10 comments; actual number at the time of posting 15.
The count discrepancy appears to be due to the WP-Optimize caching feature. You can see the differential caching times if you view-source and scroll to the bottom. I wonder if the performance would suffer too much if caching were turned off in WP-Optimize cache settings.
@68 it hasn’t gone. It’s just not “sticky” any more.
https://www.fifteensquared.net/2025/09/24/possible-disruption-over-the-next-few-days/
The count is back to accuracy again.
…and my latest post went up in just 10 seconds rather than the 30 (as counted on the start of the edit timer), that it took my previous posts today. Looks like things are returning to normal. 🙂
I’m seeing an occasional 503 error now, maybe due to additional pressure on the database with caching turned off. One possibility is to enable caching, and install code to purge the cache whenever a comment is added to a blog.
kenmac @70 – thanks. As sheffield hatter says @71, the comment counts now seem to be accurate on the home page, and, just for the record, the site is remembering me again! This transition really must have been a bit of an ordeal for you, but chapeau for seeing it through.
I received the below message from my Chrome browser. Can the administrators of this website address this? Thanks.

Where’s the blog for the latest Private Eye/Cyclops (813)? Should have appeared yesterday I think.
Hi Guy @#77
You’re right, the blog for Eye 813 should’ve appeared yesterday.
I’ll put something up in 2 or 3 hours if no-one else has by then
@77
Unfortunately it happens sometimes. Some bloggers think that drinking cerveza and playing golf in Spain is more important than blogging.
Seriously though, it should appear soon.
kenmac at #79 – Guilty as charged! Apologies to Guy Barry and many thanks to beermagnet for standing in…
Thanks.
Anyone else having formatting issue with some pages, e.g. General Discussion? I’m using an Android phone. When I got some pages, the blog is long and narrow, and at the top of the page is a “Skip to content” hyperlink.
All now seems to be fine. Probably my sausage sized fingers hitting something they shouldn’t have, but thanks Ken if you’ve tweaked something at your end (oo er missus)
Sorry, Ken – me again. The comment counts seem to have gone haywire again. The Guardian Alia puzzle isn’t showing any comments on the home page but there are some. As always with IT stuff, two steps forward, one step back.
All sorted – thanks Ken!
Hi KenMac
There’s a rather odd post from “007 Wannabee” at 27 on the Guardian Brummie thread
Another strange post on the Brummie thread – LORD BELIAL @46.
He can’t even get the quote right, though it might just be a misprint!
Hi Kenmac. Will there be a blog for today’s Paul in The Guardian, or has somebody lost the will to live with it, like me and many others judging by the comments under the puzzle?
@88 https://www.fifteensquared.net/2025/10/09/guardian-29821-paul/
Other comments (inappropriately here) have been deleted
Not that I wanted to comment any more, but why are comments closed on today’s Guardian thread at about 9:30?
https://www.fifteensquared.net/2025/10/09/site-policy-reminder/
A rather dodgy comment @43 on the Fed blog, Ken.
Kenmac, I think I’ve probably said this before, but when you delete a comment instead of deleting it completely could you replace it with some sort of message like “This comment has been deleted because it does not conform to site standards“? That way subsequent comments referring to it, or to others following it will still mention the correct number. I think that’s happening on the @43 on the Fed blog mentioned above.
@93
I fully understand. It’s just easier to delete/unapprove the comment – one mouse click.
Replacing the contents and changing the email address is just too cumbersome.
I’ll chew this one over.
Thanks Ken.
@crossbar I came here specifically to request the same thing.
@kemmac I’m not sure what you mean by changing the email address. Normal users don’t see this do they. Is it a problem if the original username is still on display?
I definitely agree that it is confusing when people refer to a (since deleted) post by number as being inappropriate and it ends up with an innocent poster unintentionally having the finger pointed at them.
OK. Having had a chance to think, here’s the problem:
AAA posts comment #1
BBB posts #2
CCC posts #3
DDD posts #4 but it is held for approval
EEE posts #4
FFF posts #5
Blogger or admin approves DDD’s post which becomes #4. Then EEE and subsequent posts are numbered 1 higher. Think of the effort it might take to “fix” it.
So if I unapprove a comment and then replace it, there are any number of comments that could appear in the meantime.
Can you not edit a problem comment to replace the text with “Comment removed by admin” or similar? This would leave the order unchanged so references by post number would still work?
I see the delayed approval issue as separate. I hadn’t realised that was a thing actually.
@Max I agree. I can’t see how replacing a comment which has already appeared by a “deleted” message figures in your scenario @97 Ken.
As for the “awaiting approval” case, is it not possible to have its number allocated on time of approval, rather than on time of posting?
OK. Time for a totally new approach.
Everything in WordPress has a unique id.
I will amend the comment layout to display the last three digits of the comment id before the author’s name. This number should be unique within each post. For more persistent posts (like this one) there is a very slim chance of duplicate numbering but I don’t think it’s worth worrying about.
The comment numbering will now disappear.
No matter what hokey-cokey takes place, the comment id will remain constant.
I am not complaining about the new numbering system, but when looking at a relatively slow- moving topic like this one, I see that the number of comments has risen from 88 to 101, so I look for the new stuff to start at #89 … but of course it doesn’t any more, it starts at 218, or 422, or whatever. I expect I’ll get used to it.
Well I wasn’t expecting that solution, Ken 🙂 I think that will work for the future, but of course any cross referencing by post number on previous blogs will be wrong now. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem if the posters name is also mentioned. I wonder how often anyone goes back to old blogs, anyway.
Thank you.
[This is a follow-up to kenmac’s request for ideas during his comment testing on the Guardian/Paul puzzle today.]
The manifested problems with comment references are:
1. While a comment is held back, newer approved comments arrive on the stack and are numbered consecutively in the sequence of approved comments. Some of these comments may contain manual references to comments prior to the held one. When the held one is eventually approved, it is inserted into the stack at the position it would have had if it been approved immediately, and the entire ID sequence is rewritten to remain consecutive. This breaks the aforementioned manual references.
Possible solutions, assuming we want to keep the consecutive integer ID system:
Ensure each comment is given an ID from the permanent consecutive sequence at the time of creation, regardless of its approval state. This will create gaps in the sequence if a comments never get approved, which will be filled if they do get approved.
Alternatively, insert the approved comment at the top of the stack rather than in its original position, i.e. give it the highest possible ID, i.e. put it at the end of the list.
2. When an approved comment is later deleted, the sequence is rewritten to be consecutive, thus changing the IDS of later comments and thus breaking manual references.
Possible solution, assuming we want to keep the consecutive integer ID system:
Don’t delete the comment and instead replace it with a “comment deleted” message.
Obviously, you need the software to help you with these possible solutions; they are not things that anyone would want to be tweaking manually. How do all the other blogs out there manage this situation? Does WordPress have plugins which allow you to control/specify this behaviour?
Whether this is worth the effort or not, I have no idea. How many comments get held back or later deleted? Is it really a big deal?
If you don’t want to resort to a much more sophisticated system of meta-references which then resolve themselves at page generation time (and I’m sure you don’t), and you think the problems being discussed are sufficiently important that they must be fixed, and it’s not possible to change the software to implement the suggested solutions, then I’d probably remove IDs altogether and ask people to use the timestamp as the reference when citing earlier comments. That approach was actually working quite effectively yesterday, and although I don’t like it as much as the simple IDs that we currently have, it is usable thanks to the fact that readers in all timezones see only the UK / UTC times. It’s annoying for overseas users (and I’m one of them) that the times “look wrong” from their perspective, but it’s something that can probably be lived with. If this solution is used, then I’d request that the total number of comments be displayed at the bottom of the comments list as well as the top, since this is useful info that comes for free under the current system since the comment total is equal to the ID of the final comment. The reason why the timestamp is better than random-seeming three-digit IDs is that its possible to predict roughly where one is currently in the list (“am I near the top, the middle or the end?”), when reading through the list. This is especially relevant on the pages which blog the Guardian puzzle.
AP@104: I think this idea of yours would be the most foolproof:
Ensure each comment is given an ID from the permanent consecutive sequence at the time of creation, regardless of its approval state.
This could be easily done by maintaining a “comment sequence number” key/value pair in the comment metadata table, with values incrementing at each comment creation.
The problem of course would be how to handle the historical blogs. Probably the best thing would be to run a database script to back-assign the sequence numbers. This would break some comment references (and might fix others) but could, I think, be lived with.
Coloradan @105 & AP @104. These are no doubt ingenious and sound solutions, but in an early comment to Kenmac when he announced his changes I said that the words ‘sledgehammer’ and ‘nut’ came to mind, and that remains my view. Just STET, to quote Brendan in today’s G puzzle.
Well taken, Balfour @106. I did think AP’s post was quite good in laying out problems and possible solutions. As a programmer, I was thinking through the implementation of one of his suggestions. All-in-all, I tend to agree that status quo is best.
Balfour @ 106 Spoiler alert !?
Crossbar – at 6.00 on Site Feedback? I don”t think so …
Well it is, Balfour @ 109, if you happen to pop in here just before doing that particular crossword. I would only expect to see answers to it in its own blog, especially on the day it is published. I expect I’m being pedantic, but then this is pretty much pedants’ corner, isn’t it? 😉
The ‘links’ page seems to have disappeared a while ago. Has it moved elsewhere? Where do I find it now?
Thanks, A
I think we can all do without NAMELESS’s comment @16 on the current Enigmatist blog, Ken/scchua.
I see, Ken, looking now at the developed blog, that you and/or scchua have made this and a number of other interventions in the Enigmatist comments. It seems to me a great pity that a – yes – difficult crossword with a theme which some may regard as a bit recherché, elicits such resentment and venom from a few of those who are defeated by it. Paul’s Cambridge puzzle, of course, is a notable recent case in point. Human nature? Yes, I suppose… Ah well.
Alice @111
It’s under “Info” on the main menu. Menu was revamped a while back
kenmac @114 – oops! that page can’t be found…
@111 @115
Apologies. For some reason my pea-sized brain confused “links” with “setters” and I chased the wrong problem.
“Links” was saved as draft so only I could see it. Published now and all is good (I hope).
It’s back, and it’s working fine.
Thank you kenmac and miserableoldhack @115.
A
Hi Kenmac
Somebody hiding from doing today’s Paul blog?
Crispy@118 I had the same thought!
Trying to track it down.
🕵️♂️
Cheers!
A question about the Site Search. If I enter “Eccles”, say, it returns a list of Eccles’ crosswords (no surprise) but if I enter “Io”, I get no returns.
It would be nice to see some photographs from the S&B York, if possible
kenmac, the Guardian puzzle from 29 October by Anto remains misnumbered at the top of the blog, despite appeals to the blogger. It has 29,830, but should be 29,838. Any chance it could be corrected for posterity’s sake?
@124
Done!
I am having the same problems as Hovis @122 in attempting to use the search facility to find Io puzzles (and none of IO, io, and 10 manage to get there either).
Hovis @ 122, Rudolf @ 126
It looks like the Search app will only look for words of 3 or more letters. You can search for Phi alright, but not IO.
If you ask it look for ‘so far’ it will highlight all the occurrence of ‘far’ but it ignores ‘so’.
I tried searching for ‘by IO’ but that was a total no-no as both words are two letters.
Unfortunately the app doesn’t look for ‘by IO’ as a 5 character string. It must be ignoring spaces in its search.
@127
Duncan, you’re right. Relevanssi is the plugin concerned and it does, indeed, set the limit to three characters.
As is pretty standard for these plugins, there are various settings but I haven’t really had a chance to investigate them all.
Thanks for the reply. So it’s all Io’s fault 😉
@125 Yay! Many thanks!
I’ve changed the minimum search length to two. Searching for IO should now work.
Trouble is, it might end up causing problems. Let’s see how it goes.
Sorry, Ken, but this is another of those posts expressing unhappiness with a 225 formatting change. All the posts appear to have changed this morning to a sizeable avatar and a headline Comment number with the name of the poster in small print alongside. Personally, I much preferred the previous format which gave precedence to the commenter rather than the comment number. That might just be my preference of course and you must do what you must do if the format has to change.
Ah, so that’s where the comment number went! I thought it had disappeared, and was blaming it on a recent Android update to my phone, but I obviously just wasn’t looking hard enough.
Something odd. The last few days the “back” arrow on my Chrome browser often doesn’t respond on this site. No problems anywhere else that I’ve encountered.
Clicking on “Forum” does work, though.
This comment looks like spam to me.
Most of these posts seem to be about issues on the site, but I just wanted to use this function to say thanks so much to all the people who have put Fifteen Squared together and keep it running. I think it’s such an amazing resource and has definitely helped me improve my solving!
Comment #6 on today’s FT puzzle is garbage.
Hi Kenmac. Don’t think comment 47 on today’s Soup should have made it through
Hi Ken, A comment about floating a proposal to include country flag after author in comments.
I greatly appreciate your constant commitment to maintaining this site, improving the user experience and fun, while protecting the security of the 15 squared community. Without you I wouldn’t be able to, or feel safe to, join in.
However, I’m coming here as I don’t wish to complete the Google docs survey. I try to have a light footprint on the web and it bothers me that survey knows my google account, something I almost never use, except if a tech person is trying to help me, as I’m increasingly limited in this world. I don’t download apps for example.
Anyway, about the flags. I note it’s optional. Personally, I don’t like flags identifying nationalism in fun things, like sports for example. I love that we have an international community on 15 squared, and that where someone comes from is either immaterial, or an added bit of interest on disclosure.
@139
Google sign-in is not required
Admin#140 Thanks for fixing that Ken. Looked different when I went back. Poll submitted
On this country flag thing, which I see from post #139 is meant to be a survey:
In both Opera (my browser of choice) and Chrome, both on Android, I get taken to https://workspace.google.com/intl/en-US/gmail/
@142
Are you sure you’re using https://forms.gle/jibUTpHMTyTXQQYE9
Yes Admin @143, when I clicked on that link it asks me to sign in to Google which I don’t do. I’m using Firefox and to get to the “non-sign in” page as per your link, I had to use a “private window” to do it……… Technology… making all our lives easier.
Admin @142: I assume that’s the real link, and I’ll use it as such. However, further investigation shows that the link behind ‘Include country flag after author name in comments’ for me is:
