Can you see both the across JPEG and the down PNG?

Yes! (Firefox with XP. Also looks fine with IE & XP. I can check with Vista/Safari if you like.)

It seems like the problem I was having with IE (answers jumping around on the hypercross as I moved from clue to clue) may have bee fixed, too. (Although it's hard to tell with only two clues.)

Yes, but my answer isn't being accepted.

And 1 person has completed it......

Maybe you have the wrong answers :) The important part is that you see both images fine, right?

For some reason I wanted the answers to be 'pro' and 'con'

I can't see the large PNG image (clue #2). I'm using IE and XP.

[7] Weird, I'm using IE7 and XP and I see them both just fine.

And I love that people have rated this :)

I can see both large pictures. I'm using IE7 and Windows Vista.

I wonder... those of you who can't see the large image for clue #2, can you see the Tanga logo at the very top left corner of the page? Or can you see Arnott's avatar on the puzzle or my avatar on this comment?

XP Firefox - Can see both
XP IE 7 - can see both

interesting though, because in FF the images look the same in IE 7 the png file is darker...

Yes. XP Firefox

I see them both fine and they both look the same: Mac 10.4, using Netscape 7.2 (I'll be your Luddite tester!) I feel sorry for color-blind solvers, though.

Everything is working in Safari and Firefox on my Mac.

Using IE6 on Windows XP and I can see the image for Clue #1 but not for Clue #2.
As for the question posed by Philana in [10] - Yes, I can see the Tanga Logo, Arnott's Avatar as well as Philana's Avatar.

I just noticed that there are no images showing in the right side list for Arnott's other puzzles. It is just a blank space - no image placeholders or anything. The Text, however, is there as well as Arnott's Avatar.

Firefox OK here as well, just wanted to add that the PNG looks A LOT clearer on this end. Anyone else seeing that? Will we get an official "green light" to use PNG.

Win 2000, Firefox 2.0.0.13 (just updated yesterday): OK.
IE6: it may be my work computer, but IE6 locks up half-way through the load of the page. (I can get to the main tanga page and the puzzle listing fine, however)

[22] I don't notice any quality difference with these images (or are you saying that in general png is clearer than jpeg?)

At work, IE6 and XP.

png file doesn't show up.

I am using IE 7 and XP both showed up fine and quickly

I think we need a real CROSSWORD (in the singular sense) every morning, it is nice to get up and do an easy puzzle.

Starts my day with a smile

For IE6 I can see the thumb of each picture, but when I click on the second picture it doesn't pop up. First one works well.

RPardoe

Posted on Thu Mar 27, 2008 10:09 AM |

[29] Same here - just noticed that. Am seeing the thumbnails, but get a blank box if I click on the second image.

Can't see the PNG file, am using XP professional.

Hmmm... you IE6 people (and any others who can't get the PNG image to work here), how about in this old puzzle:

http://www.tanga.com/crossword_puzzles/310-11-8...

They are all PNGs. Same problem?

Oh, and please comment about this here and not at the old puzzle :)

Cannot see PNGs, in this puzzle (#2) or in the "old puzzle" - I'm using XP w/ IE6

[32] With IE6 I have lots of problems with puzzle pages partially loading and then freezing up (it happened last night as well while doing the new Featured puzzles, Cryptopix, OWW and Hypercross). It loads the puzzle's main picture, but seems to have issues when it tries to load the comment section (even when no one has commented yet).

After a few tries of getting to the puzzle you pointed to, I see the thumbs of the pictures but get the blank box when clicking on them.

I've also found over the last few nights there have been some thumbs that load wrong on hypercrosses and I can't click to enlarge them at all (the thumb is really stretched out). For instance, a quick look at http://www.tanga.com/crossword_puzzles/139-3-26... shows issues with Clues 6, 13, 16, and 18. Refreshing the screen fixed the thumb of 6 and 13, but I can't enlarge them (are they .PNGs?)

For completeness, using the same computer, checking with Firefox I have no problems with any of the hypercross pictures, they all enlarge correctly.

Good luck pinpointing the problem, and a big THANK YOU for working on it!
