New Newsletter Format

might want to have a look at www.mailchimp.com pretty cheap and has some pretty natty features including an inbox inspector so you can see how your email looks in different programmes.

I've used if for the last year and think its pretty good - customer service is also exceptional when you need help.

HI,
Well I definitely prefer the layout. The biggest benefit for me is the MUCH faster download of images in outlook. I had raised this previously as a problem, but was surprised no-one else seemed to have any issues. My outlook is configured to not load images unless I tell it to, and with the old newsletter it took at least 15-20 seconds to get them.
My only comment, like many others, is the grey is too light. Almost makes you think it is slightly out of focus!

Otherwise it's fine by me - please don't change it apart from the grey! Very Happy

PS It's a shame I renewed my menbership on the 1st December - I could have saved £1.01!!!!

Excellent, please don't change back.
A much easier read, and more importantly it loads up much, much faster in my Outlook 2007. Old email seemed to take forever to load up!

MadHatter - THANK YOU! It wasn't just me after all! I had raised this with the team in another discussion and was beginning to think I was missing some vital point. (I also use Outlook 2007).

The content, layout and "User Friendliness" are all good, unfortunately, the grey text makes it hard work for me.

I have to say I much prefer the new style - it gives a more personal one-to-one feel. Almost like getting a personal letter with good handwriting!
I for one should be happy if the style stays.
Keep up the good work! Wink

Well done all at PGPSWorld, the new layout is brilliant.

Keep up the good work.

My two cents. I don't like the grey either - But - and this goes for most of the site, why do you insist on fixing the width? I don't run my browser full screen and it is a pain having a horizontal scroll bar. Web pages ought to resize.

I prefer the new layout.

The grey is too pale for my taste. The headings look darker, maybe just because they are bold. If the main text appeared as dark as the current heading I would find it easier to read.

I like the New News Letter layout, just a tweak of the grey body text(darker) and it will be spot on.

Whats the empty dashed box at the top of the page for ???? Outlook 2003

keep up the good work.. always improving to keep us interested thats a positive, if the speed of the page(s) loading improves thats a bonus
