Ashore!
I don't have anything clever to say, but if I did, it would go here.

Love this kind of puzzle. I expect more than few will have some trouble putting the pieces together.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

I'm going to say I'm on shore, but I'll spend a little more time on it before submitting.

Edit: I found the extra confirmation I was looking for and submitted. Nice construction.

On shore!
If I don't win a mug, I can always make one... ;) but it won't have the same cachet.

Pretty sure I’m on shore…🏖️

Something I noticed right away seems to have been the correct path!

The scheduling of new Topics is already implemented. I think creators will use it, first and most often, since it's only available when creating a new Topic, such as when starting a new puzzle.

NOTE: It isn't available when replying within an existing Topic.

Ben noticed it, first, and corresponded with me about some time discrepancies he noticed. It seems that posts scheduled for the wee hours of US ET might not post as scheduled. (It's possible the XWord Muggles' server must be active for the Topic to be opened/posted.)

All can use it and any notes, ideas, suggestions, or errors are welcome. PM me with them, please.

Big THANKS to @MarkWoychick, @Cap'n Rick, @KayW, @Bob cruise director, @Wendy Walker, @benchen71, and others for their efforts in finding this software extension and testing of it.

Also thanks to the many creators that have repeatedly requested this common sense feature, which spurred us to look for it again and again, until Mark was able to find it and install it.

-------------------------------------------------------

For those interested in creating Excel spreadsheets for meta solving, new instructions and template are available HERE. Again, your feedback is appreciated hugely!
