pausing
 

I support pausing. I have been playing as a guest for a few weeks and became a member yesterday.

Congratulations, ctan!!

I 100% agree. I can't tell you how many times I have been interrupted while playing a puzzle and had my time and points totally shot.

Pausing makes no sense, as you could pause the game, solve it while paused (from a screenshot), then unpause and plug your answers in. Given that there is no way to detect if someone who is paused is legitimately doing something else, or is working on the puzzle, then I think an interruption is tough luck. I have had massive hits on my time because of fickle internet connections not allowing me to submit until hours later, but I understand this is impossible to get around.
