I'm considering signing up for an account with the opening post Jigsaw Website.

COPIED & PASTED FROM THE WEBSITE'S QUESTIONS & ANSWERS PAGE...

"My Stuff

I have some great pics I'd like to turn into puzzles.


It's as easy as 1-2-3, and you'll even have your personal (private) album on the site and be able to share your puzzles with friends or family. How cool is that?

1. First, you need an account on the site (this will be your personal space for created puzzles and other cool features). Signing up is (of course) free and only takes a minute. Click the "Sign Up" link in the upper-right corner of any page, choose a username and password and enter some details such as full name and email address (please note: the rest of the fields are optional). Double-check your email - we'll send an account activation message to this address.

2. Check your email - you should now have a message in your Inbox containing account activation link. Click that link (if you are allowed to) or just copy in from the message and paste into the browser's address bar.
Your account is now active! Visit the site again and click the "Sign In" link in the upper-right corner of any page. Enter the username and password you chose before.

3. You're all set! There's the big "Make a Puzzle" button in the upper-right part of the main page - click the button and choose a pic (or even several pics) to be turned into puzzles.

Once your pic is uploaded to the site you can customize various details of your freshly made puzzle (such as title and default amount of pieces), play it, share it, delete it etc. Congratulations on your first creation!

Remember: you can always find all the puzzles you made under the link "My Puzzles" in every page's header."

"Why do I need to create an account on your site?

Actually, you don't have to. Playing puzzles here is not only free, it won't bother you with forms and passwords. You will only want to create your account when you want some personal stuff on TheJigsawPuzzles.com: to make puzzles from your own pics (and store it in your personal album), cut puzzles to 300, 400 and 500 pieces, mark completed puzzles (coming soon), compete for best times (coming soon), receive new puzzles via email (coming soon) and many more great "coming soon"s.

Signing up for an account only takes a minute and is absolutely free (just like the rest of the site). And we certainly will never share your personal information (such as email address) with any 3rd parties. We're not into this kind of things here at TheJigsawPuzzles.

Hiya Blod :-D :-D <3

I tried crocheting when I was a teenager, but gave up when my circles turned into pouches for some reason!! :-D


Thanks TS :-)

You will be doing crochet next Myfanwy :-0 :-0 ;-) <3

Also try

www.jigzone.com

Thank you!

They're actually uncle and great nephew/great great nephew r (the Singapura gene pool is a bit on the small side), but are pretty good buddies despite the 9 year age gap. :-)

:-D :-D :-D@ GinN!

Kucinta, your cats are adorable :-)


This is a lovely cat one I did earlier.

It's exactly like a cat I had years ago! :-)

My two cats absolutely LOVE the click of the jigsaw pieces.

Oh dear, Jem - I haven't done a jigsaw for many years, but I thought I'd take a look at your site ..............

And now I've been at it for the last 2 hours! :-0

I think I could become addicted, and I'm holding you responsible! :-D :-D ;-) ;-)

Thank you Sue :-)

I've found it, and here's the link

http://www.jigidi.com/

jigidi is another good one with a variety of categories and sizes.

Hi Elizabeth :-)

Thankyou for your post. Sometimes smaller puzzles are better when you are pushed for time.

I couldn't get your link to work, but I have found the website by typing your information in.

I wonder if this link will work?

http://jigsawonline.net/

Edited- yes it does. :-)

http://jigsawonline.net` is good for smaller puzzles, three new ones (three different sizes) every day - BUT for some weeks now the medium size one has gone mad over sizing, often too big to fit the page. Being smaller these are good for short breaks, as in " I'll just do one before I do the washing up" moments.

Det,

I've just compared the Westie Jigsaw in 100 pieces with the same jigsaw in 300 pieces, and then the 500 Pieces. The size of the pieces are smaller.

Not a big problem if you are used to doing online jigsaws, but I'm sticking to the 100 piece ones for now!

Perhaps you will need binoculars for the 500 piece ones :-D :-D :-D

The pieces are just smaller with the higher number of pieces jigsaws I think, Det :-) :-)

Possibly the larger your screen the better. Try a larger one and see! :-)

Only problem for me, is that I get migraine if I do them for too long! :-| :-D

I find that 150 pieces is big enough for the monitor screen - does the screen size make any difference, do you think?

EMMS

Here's a westie like Rory :-D <3

250 pieces
http://thejigsawpuzzles.com/Animals/Mackenzie-in-Carrizo-Plain-Wildflowers-jigsaw-puzzle?cutout=250%20piece%20Classic

YOU CAN GET BIGGER JIGSAWS ON THIS SITE FREE! :-D

From 20 pieces to 500 pieces!

Select your category ie Flowers

Hover your mouse over a picture and a drop down bar appears.

More "cuts" appear and next to this a choice of numbers of pieces.

eg.

I clicked on the category "FLOWERS"

I hovered over the picture "GIFT FLOWERS".

I selected "CLASSIC" on the drop down bar.

A choice of between 20 and 500 pieces appeared.

I clicked on 250 pieces

THIS JIGSAW PICTURE ARREARED
http://thejigsawpuzzles.com/Flowers/Gift-Flowers-jigsaw-puzzle?cutout=250%20piece%20Classic

It's the picture you hovered over in a choice of numbers of pieces or special effects ie spiral effect!

SO YOU HAVE EVEN MORE CHOICE!

This is a great website! :-) :-) :-) :-)

Thomas Kinkade paintings are fabulous!

I bought a book of postcards of his paintings (not to use as postcards) in Cardiff some years ago.

I have framed some of them and put them on the wall. :-)

The ones I do go to 252 pieces.
Prefer real life ones myself but hands get painful
trying to pick up and fit pieces.
My favourite puzzles were by Thomas Kinkade, difficult
but beautiful :-D

100 pieces online is just right for me at the moment Emms! :-D :-D :-D

I like real-life ones too, but only have the patience and space to do the 500 piece ones :-D

I just noticed that the one I just did (link in earlier post) is 150 pieces. So perhaps they do have some with more pieces, Emms :-)
