The reason the "More-Puzzles" Forum exists is for people to create their own topics with their own puzzles. Why would they place them in yours? I only place a puzzle in someone else's topic as a comment on another puzzle, e.g. to show an improved version.

Considering the purpose of this forum, where else was I supposed to put it?

You put your puzzles in the right place! I responded to your earlier complaint that other people didn't place their puzzles in your topic. That's simply how things are supposed to go; everyone creates their own topics!

Excuse me, but the purpose of this forum was not to put my puzzles on here, or even have other people put their puzzles on here. The purpose is to show other people how to make puzzles.
OK, perhaps I misunderstood you. Amongst chess composers the "how" of making puzzles is an elaborate subject about which sizable books have been written. One that I like is "Test Tube Chess ...." by A.J. Roycroft about endgame studies. On my shelf is another one about retrograde puzzles, over 500 pages thick. The writers of these books have decades of experience in puzzle making and have won many prizes. In my view it's not a subject you can teach or learn in a single post thread on a puzzle forum. But you're welcome to try!

That, again, is not the purpose of the forum. It's purpose is showing people how to post them, not how to actually compose them.

That's what you did in post #1. Any reason to follow it up with a long series of examples all of which demonstrate the same? The least one might expect is that every example shows a different feature (not different moves) of making chess.com puzzles accompanied by a text explaining exactly which feature is illustrated by the example and how it relates to the use of the buttons in the puzzle interface. All I see is an endless repeat of the same puzzle functions. Is there anything to learn from example 20 that wasn't in example 10?
