  22. @r.alph: Weird weird weird. Suddenly, when M&A clicks on a "**gruntz**" link, it just goes to an empty Down Home screen, with no puz associated with it. (This now happens on my Mac, but no such problem on my real old iPad.)

    Did something just get changed?

    1. **gruntz** links are working on my 2015 model MacBook as normal. Safari 14.1.2 . It sounds like something weird is happening on your Mac.

  23. @r.alph: More bad news. When I try to upload a new runtpuz, all I get is a blank upload screen. So somethin new is definitely afoot.
    I tried a re-boot of my Mac, but didn't help anything.

    I have been enjoying the steady stream of runts lately (yea, even the biters), since the runt-pen got fixed again. Tomorrow I fly to Europe for 3 weeks, so will be solving from a different time zone, when I'm not jet lagged.
