Forum – Recent Posts
Some time ago I’ve written about adding Forum to the site. That time a link to it was shown on the top of the right menu. Now I’ve changed it a little, adding Forum / Форум header with a links to the Recent Posts to it. I believe, such option is more useful. Your comments to the Forum are very welcome!

(03.11) I’ve added 4 more of my published problems. I guess that many of you have already seen them, as these are KoBul Kings problems I’ve already shown in thematic issue Ideas with KoBul Kings. Anyway, had to add them, as I’ve decided to to create a full list of all my published problems (luckily, I don’t have too many of them! 🙂 ). You can see 36 of them in My Problems section, or the last problems added directly from here:
- No.33 – Light Miniature with KoBul Kings
- No.34 – My the very best of KoBul Kings
- No.35 – Joint problem with Petko A. Petkov, Locusts in KoBul Kings problem
- No.36 – A simple one, good idea with a weak realization?

(16.10) The Thematic tourney Julia’sFairies-HSP-2012 is closed. See my post about participants of the tourney! Thanks again to all authors! And.. I’d appreciate your ideas for the next tourneys!! But for now – we’re waiting for the results!
New: Forum
I’ve just added a Forum to the site!
Still not sure if it might be interesting or not, but probably have to try to find out! 🙂
For now I’ve created some groups there, but any changes are possible of course! I’d appreciate your suggestions about the topics to add!
TOP menu of the site is almost full and I don’t like to create the second line for it for now, so I’ve added a link to the Forum on the right part, right above Recent Posts.
You need a registration to post anything to the forum. If you have registered on the site (on the bottom part of the right area) – the same registration works for the forum. The Login on the welcome screen of the forum can be used instead of general Login on the site.
I’ve tested it a little. But, I’m afraid, some errors are still possible. Please be patient! And I’d be grateful for your help in testing!
Sincerely, Julia
