How to better advertise my puzzles in a Forum

Avatar of nameno1had

I have recently created a puzzle in the More Puzzles Forum entitled Never Give Up. It has been there for two days. I created it because, people were complaining the daily was too easy, a few days in a row. I thought maybe I'd give them a little tougher puzzle. No one seems to notice. Does any one have any ideas? I am sure there are many capable players who can find the solution, but I am curious to see what people think of it. It took me a while to solve it myself.

You just have to keep screaming.

I have no idea what makes forum posts click for others, but for me, if I am drunk enough, I'll comment on most anythingLaughing

Is there a special spot I should jump up and down and yell really loudly?

Or I could make all of the words in my posts turn to neon...

Isn't there a puzzle section?

I'm puzzled at people's lack of interest in puzzles.

Jumping up and down without pointing to the puzzle?

I kind of feel dumb saying yes, I knew there was, but I was trying to get mine to fit under another category, so it wouldn't get lost in the shuffle...go figure...i haven't posted any puzzles since. I think I will wait til I have some good games that result in good positions for puzzles.

to the OP, spend your 20% of the time making your puzzle (I know they are hard to do)  and the 80% making the title.
