Having the cross on the bottom does help with lookahead. You have more unsolved pieces in your field of vision than if you had your cross on top, so it's preferred to do it on the bottom, although try it out with cross on the left too, some people prefer that.

The "Go Advanced" when editing a post doesn't work for me, but the option at the quick reply does work as usual though. Chrome 28.0.1500.95 m here too.

1. Some cube we had at home, could be an original one from back in the days or just a KO, don't know, don't really care. 2. C4U Speedcube 3. GH 2 4. FII 5. Guhong 6. Zhanchi 7. Lingyun 8. Lingyun v2 9. Back to Zhanchi

You could also just shorten the cylinder where the screw goes until it's short enough, but it may be a hassle to do. Don't think it would damage the puzzle since it doesn't change anything on the outside, and it shouldn't make it more fragile since you don't make anything thinner, just shorter...

You shouldn't even bother about that, go to the competition and have fun, skills doesn't really matter, although it would be a plus if you're able to solve it under 10 minutes if you want official times. EDIT: Ninja'd. EDIT2: Your times are great though, I was slower than that when I went to...

Although wouldn't that violate 3h? Specifically the additional information part. (This would probably apply to the supercube-stickering idea someone had a few pages before too.)

Not counting dayan knockoffs, I'd say the FII is really nice if you're not dependent on the corner cutting.

http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/square1.htm (Scroll down until you reach Section 1) I almost always do the first case of those, it's not fast nor efficient to first set it up like that and then go from there, but it's an easy way to do it.
