Do you mean 14? I included that as a spoiler in my last post. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

No, 15. I got the easter egg alert in case I got to 16 from the scrambled Shakespeare picture (thebard.htm), which I did, and I had no problem with 16 either, but I'm wondering what the easter egg was. _________________ After years of disappointment with get rich quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme.

It was just thebard. I indicated in the alert that you almost certainly saw it already. I figured it was possible for someone to anagram without going there first, so if I decide to hide something necesary on that page, I thought that I should mention it was there. I can be more explicit in the alert to clear up any confusion. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

Maybe I misunderstood this:
EASTER EGG ALERT: The previous level had an easter egg page, but I'm guessing that the mixed up picture is how you got here. If you got here without seeing this easter egg page, I'm fairly certain you're smart enough to figure out how to find it.
Don't the "but" and "this" suggest there as an easter egg page other than the mixed-up picture? _________________ After years of disappointment with get rich quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme. And quick! |

Not how I read it, but then again I wrote it, so its hard to be able to see it through other eyes. If that's the way you read it, then its not clear enough. I'll modify the text to be more clear. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

The wording is more clear now.
Hopefully it's rather quiet here because people are still moving along through the levels, as opposed to them having lost interest/given up. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

I try to keep you updated as I work on it. Got 17, a nice puzzle, not much to comment. Not trivial, does make sense. For 18 I got the first couple of references and am signing off for now. _________________ After years of disappointment with get rich quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme.

That was actually my first stab, but when it failed I realized it's easier to just solve it myself than transcribing it and feeding to a solver. _________________ After years of disappointment with get rich quick schemes, I know I'm gonna get rich with this scheme. And quick! |

19 is one of my favorites. Do you mean that the title helped, or do you mean you're stuck thinking "huh?" as well. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

I'm assuming you've worked out what you're supposed to do, given the image names.
Bgg's first guess at solving it was in post 98, and he had enough right to give you a start. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

Each picture should lead to one word, then those 3 words will form a MA DG AB.
Bgg had some of the right words in his post. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature.

Essentially, yes. But the letters aren't randomly jumbled. The encoding of the letters follows the instructions suggested by the URL of the level. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

Yes, turning off the URL AutoCorrect means that all entries are now case sensitive.

I got to 18 last night but despite the references to Poe and Decepticons seem to be a little stuck.

For level 18, just investigating Poe and Goldbug together. You'll find what you are looking for.
Bgg, now I get the reference. I'm obviously a little paranoid about broken levels now that I have turned the URL AutoCorrect off. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |
