After a very long break (of years!) I've now added Toroidal (ie with this fixed wraparound pattern) back into the mix.
There's a toroidal set in the legacy puzzle sets area, Elizabeth, but only people who've been using the site for a long time (and purchased a set a long time ago) have access to that area, so that's an excellent idea - thank you!

Elizabeth, I added the ability for anyone to comment on the daily puzzles a year or two ago, when there were some good discussions on the daily pages and I felt it was important that everyone could contribute! :) So I think every user should be able to comment on the daily puzzles

In fact, why don't I just move the legacy sets into the main sets area... Not sure why I haven't done this before!

Thank you Gareth, I can still chat if I want; the problem with the legacy puzzles is I did theToroidal ones and others way back then.... so what happens to the earlier results?? (Just checked I was doing the legacy sets back in April 2012!!) And just noticed the Wraparound Vol.2, thank you.

I guess it would be less confusing just to add new sets, rather than move old ones across. I've been working on a new Toroidal set anyway, since I restored posting Toroidal (fixed pattern) puzzles, so that should appear on the site very shortly (in the next hour or so).

Thank you, gareth, that's quick:) and solves my problem of having done most of the legacy puzzles earlier.

I didn't know that "toroidal" had a fixed pattern, I though it was just an act of renaming. If it has different names, maybe different icons make sense? I'd like to see an do(ugh)nut with squares on it ;-)
Another suggestion: 10x10 toroidals - pattern could be repeatedly like this (I hope you get what I mean): *... *... *... **** ...* ...* ...*

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
