First, what should happen is this:
- If you are logged in and you open the crossword creation page, saving the riddle should not include entering your username and password.
- If you are not logged in and you open the crossword creation page, the Save dialog should include username and password fields.
You might want to try both variants. Do not log in/log out while the page is open.
If this doesn’t lead you anywhere, setting the page into Debug mode might reveal more. The error message will then include a reason why you can’t save.
Please remember that using Debug mode on a site that can be publicly reached is a serious security hazard.
