Well, I've done my limit of five. And this seems to be the only one today that's giving any trouble at all.

Actually, I'm sort of glad for the limit. I might be tempted to spend too much time on this otherwise. Back to Kupchik!

To do that, you have to be rated over 1800. I'm stuck at 1650, and have no interest in rising higher. I did get all the way up to 1801 once, but didn't have the good sense to stop.

my aim is to get above 2000 so my floor will be 1800. so i can make a 100 puzzles a day if i want to.

To each their own. I'm involved in a lot of other things, so I'm happy doing my five. I just try to keep them interesting without being too difficult or too trivial.

I believe there is a workaround if you create all your puzzles before saving them. As you might know I wish GK would implement other restrictions not such trivial ones that do not really achieve what they aim for. Good contributors like you are somewhat hindered in their efforts. Why?

kingdawar: Very kind of you to say so. But, as I said, having the limit is usually good for me, since it stops me from spending too much time on puzzles.

For me there are no such limits

The one restriction I don't care for is having to wait 24 hours instead of one calendar day. In practice, this means I wind up submitting later and later each evening until inevitably I have to miss a day altogether.
