server cloud usually means positions that end up in the server DB with evaluation. on the other hand also puzzles are added to the cloud one way or another. so its a bit double edged. as you can see from the captcha this game appears in the puzzle DB even without a computer analysis from the servers (unless someone clicked the button by now), so it got uploaded after it was mined from a PGN which stems from a database of played games that got loaded into the GPU-puzzle miner thing and then after sucessful mining was added to the puzzle DB.
as of now - since they are finished with the migration and doublechecking puzzles after SF14 - the way to get your puzzle into the pool (whether you found the tactic or not) is to:
1. play rapid/classical games (not sure if they have to be rated)
2. analyze them
so its all back to normal again.
ima ping @benwerner now, coz he is pro with puzzles and always very helpful with those concerns. this might give us a little more insight and also a truth-check, since most of what im throwing around is hearsay =)
