Is it possible to create a sticky with links to all the problems and solutions? And perhaps a short description (or category) of the problem type as well? I think that would be a very useful resource to have.

This is far to easy. You can copy the problems to openoffice, try to name it for your own, convert it to a pdf and make yourself a booklet (at work, we have a little printmanager who prints a pdf as booklet, four pages at one). So you can make a book or a magazine with the problems of the week. Bills problems are worth the work. It is as in school: writing it down is half the learning. And you will see: the problems are by now also a fragmented theory of backgames. I would like to see this as a real book.

It's more about ease of access. I don't carry around a library with me everywhere because it's easier to hop on a computer and look things up. It would be convenient to at least have all the links in one place to increase accessibility (and to avoid having to carry around notebooks or whatever).

I have a stick. With a portable gnu. And the files. But if you try to name it for yourself, this puts it better in your head.

What follows does not categorize the problems, but nevertheless, does give an easy way to list them all on one screen:

1. On the main Backgammon Forum screen, click "Search this Forum," and then "Advanced Search" on the drop-down menu.
   
   
2. In the "Search by Keyword" text box, enter the word "Solution." (Don't enter the period!)
   
   
3. Click the triangle next to the words "Search Entire Posts." When the drop-down list opens, click "Search Titles Only."
   
   
4. In the "Search by User Name" text box, enter "Robertie."
   
   
5. Click "Search Now" near the bottom.

For your trouble, you get a listing of all of the Problem-of-the-Week Solutions, and nothing else!

Thanks, Mike, but wasn't this one a bit silly of you?
You could have skipped grammatical correctness in this case, and just left out the period..


And more thanks to kruidenbuiltje, except..... what, no links???
