They announced that they were going to change the rating scheme so that you don't lose points if you solve a problem but take too long. It's hard to believe that just that would make such a difference in your rating. Perhaps there were other changes too.
tactics trainer became easier on new chess.com?!

My TT rating is also climbing and I'm sure it's because of the change in the algorithm. I always used to try to ignore rating points and concentrate on pass rate. So I used to lose lots of points for problems where I got it right but took a long time. Now I get minimum +1 every time I get one right, regardless of time. So my rating is going up and, surprise surprise, my pass rate is also going up. I guess I wasn't ignoring the clock as much as I thought I was!

Well, after 14450 puzzles you should finnaly be above 2 000, don't you think?
But agree some puzles are simply overrated when you cross ~2000. But there are also many underrated super hard impossible to see puzzles in 1100-1700 range - some zunzwangs , stalemate ideas , underpromotion etc and they stay low rated, becouse first 2-3 moves everybody can see, but not rest.
I believe you israelian players are generally good...so

AIM-AceMove. I spent so long in the same rating band that I must have done all the problems in that band and because I had solved all the easy ones I was only getting the super-hard ones and new ones. 
I could have reset TT but I was determined to break out of that band without having to do that. I seem to have done that now if I can avoid plunging back into the abyss. A lot of the problems I was getting wrong were the ones where there were decent alternatives. e.g. Mate in 2 instead of mate in 1. Otherwise I guess I'm just a bit slow. I only play correspondence chess (and vote chess) so I don't worry about being slow. Whereas I see that your (very high!) rating is based on Live Bullett. It's a different game and the way TT was set up previously, the algorithm heavily favoured speed over accuracy (IMHO).
You never know, I may also make it to 2000+ !!! (I doubt it!)
I agree. After stagnating in the 1500-1600 range for a year, I've gone up to 1700 in the last month, yet my rating doesn't change on chesstempo.
My tactics trainer rating was about 1800-1950 for many months, and suddenly within a few days I'm in the 2130 range and going up. So either I was touched by caissa or more likely there are many new overrated problems added... Does anyone else suddenly go up in tac.trainer rating on new chess.com...? please say no so I feel good about myself
Thank you..
