Welcome aboard

Welcome to the Puzzlebrains forum. If you haven't done so already, please read the New Users message in the Announcements forum, which mentions some useful information.

Once again, I would like to request that no specific Puzzlebrains solutions are posted in the forums. By all means exchange hints or ideas and offer support (through the forums or the PM system), but publishing the actual answer to a puzzle will spoil it for people who have yet to try and solve it.

Otherwise feel free to help build the Puzzlebrains community, make suggestions for improving the site and, above all, have fun.
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Good to be here, thanks for making the site. It looks very impressive so far. I'm looking forward to wasting lots of time here.

Hi there all. This is really spiffy! :D Looking forward to the puzzle magazine, and, as SparkOut says, wasting even more time!

Hello everyone I've arrived. My computer crashes for 24 hours and when I get it back I find I'm in a parallel universe. Perhaps it should keel over a bit more often. ;)

Not sure where I am : :shock: -- its the cheap sat nav that causes the problems -- but I have seen a few familiar names so I hope someone will show me where the best beer is brewed and the most edible take aways :

Hi all!!! It's good to recognise so many names. What a wonderful site. And that's before I attempt the puzzles. :? I have changed my name since DVP and Runes but when I get my avatar sorted you may recognise me. Here's to some more happy puzzling.

Hi everyone, I thought I'd already posted on this thread but obviously the gremlins got there first and removed what ever it was I had said. Still never mind with a bit of luck this attempt will post where it's supposed to be :)

Hi there all. As usual I'm running a little late!
All I need now is to find help for the puzzles and I'll sit quietly for hours :D
There's no point in having a last minute if you don't use it!
