Moving Servers

2008-11-16T11:19:00.001-05:00

We're experiencing some downtime, and we are moving our servers. We expect to be up within an hour.

Website Downtime

2008-11-10T01:53:00.002-05:00

As you may have noticed, we’ve had quite a bit of downtime at Crazy4Jigsaws.com over the past four days. We’ve been experiencing a server malfunction and have been working hard to get everything back online. We hope to have the site back within 24 hours and will be down no longer than 72 hours.

For all current Premium Members, we will be extending your membership for two extra weeks to make up for the downtime.

I would personally like to apologize for any inconvenience this issue has caused. We are working very hard to get everything back online as quickly as possible. For any further updates, please refer back here to the blog.

Thank you for your patience.

Website Back Online!

2008-05-21T23:20:00.002-04:00

I wanted to let everyone know that Crazy4Jigsaws.com is back online! The maintenance corrected the problem and our site should be nice and fast again.

Emergency Maintenance Scheduled

2008-05-21T14:03:00.002-04:00

This is to let everyone know that we will be performing emergency maintenance on our server starting today, May 21, at 3:00 pm EST. Crazy4Jigsaws.com will be down anywhere between 1 to 4 hours or more. A problem was discovered on our server and unfortunately we must shut it down to correct it.

Thanks for your patience!

Daily Puzzle Emails

2008-01-20T14:15:00.000-05:00

Some of you may have noticed that you haven't received the daily puzzle emails the past couple days. We have recently moved our server to a new company and unfortunately some email providers are now filtering our email. We're working on fixing this and your daily puzzle emails should be restored soon.

Daily Puzzle Mistake

2008-01-17T09:00:00.000-05:00

You might have noticed today that you received several daily puzzle emails but that none of them were actually the daily puzzle. You may have also played a puzzle today and now it "disappeared" from the site. While working on some changes with the site, we accidentally set a script to send out a bunch of daily puzzles at once instead of just one. I'm very sorry for this mistake! The real daily puzzle is Hot Air Balloons. If you've already played one of the missing puzzles, don't worry...they'll be up on the site very soon! Thanks for your understanding.

We're Upgrading!

2008-01-04T18:19:00.000-05:00

As you may have noticed, the fastest solve times tables are currently offline. Don't worry, this is only temporary! This site has grown so much that we've outgrown our current servers. While we're upgrading, the solve times tables have been turned off to keep the site from crashing. You still get your puzzle points though!

After the upgrade, the site should be really fast for everyone again and the solve times will be restored.

Server Problems

2008-01-02T23:46:00.000-05:00

We've been experiencing a few issues with our servers all day today. These problems have made the site slow and inaccessible at times. I wanted to let everyone know that we are working on solving these problems immediately. These issues should be corrected within a day. Thanks for your patience!

New Features

2007-10-25T01:17:00.000-04:00

We've got two new features we've just added to the site. First, you can now choose to hide the preview picture when sending an e-card. This way the recipient has to solve the jigsaw puzzle in order to see the picture.

Second, we've added a new jigsaw puzzle cut, the Crazy4Jigsaws cut. This 68 piece puzzle is based off of the Crazy4Jigsaws.com logo set on top of a classic cut. We hope you enjoy it!

New Server Online

2007-10-19T14:37:00.001-04:00

We've finally finished migrating the site over to a new server! This means faster loading times for everyone across the entire site. We're also getting ready to release Premium Membership within a month, so stay tuned!

October Contest Announced!

2007-10-02T13:14:00.001-04:00

Now that October is finally here, we've released a new contest! Thanks to our good friends over at PuzzleHouse.com, we're giving away another $50 gift certificate. The contest ends on October 31st so make sure you redeem your tickets before then. Remember, each ticket costs 150 puzzle points.

Congratulations to Lexi7403, winner of September's contest!

Welcome to the Crazy4Jigsaws.com Blog!

2007-09-30T22:33:00.000-04:00

Welcome to the Crazy4Jigsaws.com blog! I will be using this site for announcing upcoming features, getting feedback about the site, and giving you a sneak-peek at what goes on behind the scenes.

I started this site because I love solving jigsaw puzzles! I was really frustrated by the lack of good sites out there to play online jigsaw puzzles. They didn't seem to have great pictures or smooth puzzle cuts. So I took what the other puzzle sites lacked and started my own. Over a year and a half later, Crazy4Jigsaws.com was born!

Check back often to read the new posts. Feel free to comment and let me know what you think of the site. You can forward any suggestions and ideas to me at http://www.crazy4jigsaws.com/contact/.
