That is correct. I'm currently working on this. Basically, screwballscrabble.co.uk is now an "add-on" domain and screwballscribble.co.uk is the "root" domain. For some reason, the links for Hangman (and others) are not redirecting and calling screwballscrabble.co.uk correctly. You can access though in the meantime by using the following URL: http://www.screwballscrabble.co.uk/. This is true for all the specials at the old site.

Once there, log-in as normal with your same account details as the new website and Hangman (and all other specials) will show up. Now you can play it again. ;)

As it is month end the ability to create hangman has been removed so they can all be deleted at midnight with one click.

Since we've switched to new domain and upgraded our software, interest in Screwball Hangman, which resides at screwballscrabble.co.uk, has waned to the extent that there has been little activity since 10th May and can probably understand the inconvenience of having to login at the old site to play it and keep switching between old and new site.

However, we do know that a new version is in development for phpBB3 (the software behind our website) but this is in very early stages and as yet, there is no proposed release date.

It is with regret that Screwball Hangman is now no longer available. The link will be removed but Hangman topics will remain for discussions and any news. So watch this space for further news as to when it becomes available.

New Hangman starts on 1st March!

The Hangman forum has been cleaned up.

Let the gossip begin.... ;)

We hope you are all enjoying the new Hangman game. :D

Here's a tip for all in case anyone missed it. With this new Hangman game, you can play in same window or new window (just like the Arcade).

When playing in same window, do you find yourself having to scroll down the page to pick/guess each letter? You can avoid this by opting to play a game in a new window. Instead of clicking on the Hangman subject, hover the mouse pointer over the radio image (round circle) located to the left of Hangman subject and you'll see "Click to play in window mode". Click on the radio button and no more scrolling.

Don't forget, when creating hangmans, you can specify how many guesses a player has to find your hangman. The default is 3 but you can choose between 1 and 9. The higher the number, the easier it could be for any one member to guess your hangman. You can also alter how many days members have to guess your hangman. 0 for unlimited, or up to 29 days but think itll be guessed well before then. ;)

If you've chosen just 1 guess per member (nice!), you could always give a little clue by entering this into the hangman help box. BBcode can be used here too. You could insert an image, a cryptic clue, or just leave blank - entirely up to you.

Finally, a reminder of the characters permitted when creating hangmans: a to z, 0 to 9. the only punctuation excepted is the hyphen. Don't worry if you enter any other characters, hangman will automatically replace these.

Hope the above all helps to make your hangman experience enjoyable. :D
