The only problem, reading through hotmail, is that it doesn't all now fit on the page, and I get a warning message saying "This message is too wide to fit your screen." I can expand to show the whole message but it still only just fits on the screen.

Hi, thanks for your feedback. Could you tell me what browser you are using and what screen resolution?

cheers

I'm on IE 7, and my screen resolution is 1024 by 768. (This is my work PC, which I usually use to read the weekly email - I'll try it on my home PC tonight and see what it looks like on there, too )

From someone who doesn't like change :rolleyes: I think the new spangly email is great. Less 'busy' but still with bags of info. Very well set out and easy to read.

Well done all involved :T

Yes, it is easier to read but it is now a narrow column with a lot of wasted space each side, so I have to press Ctrl-+ three times to make it readable.

I usually read it via Gmail, by the way. As Gmail lists ads down the right hand side of the page I tend to ignore anything on that side, automatically assuming they are ads.

I don't know if I'm a special case (I know people who think I am!) but I don't see adverts, either in magazines or on web pages. My brain automatically filters out anything gaudy or animated. I never liked the MSE web site or emails as I had to force myself to read something which looked like a one-arm bandit. At least it's now slightly cleaner and more professional looking - less like The Star and a bit more like a respectable site.

By the way, why is the text I'm typing into this box bleeding across on top of the silly smileys on the right? I'm using Firefox under Vista.

You're onto a winner (at least as far as the AOL browser is concerned) but where has Andrea's Freebies disappeared to?

I'm embarassed! Just installed Windows 7 and thought it had altered the formatting. "Well done Microsoft" I thought. I really should have known better. Definitely easier to read - I read start to finish instead of just skimming. So it works? Keep up the good work team!

Looks ok but whereas before the whole email fitted on the page, now the right hand side is cut off - the message is too wide.

Much improved, easier to read, so instead of just scolling down quickly, you actually take the time to read all of it because it stands out and as i said "easy to read".

Well done :T

The WORST laid out, hardest to read, info-jungle nightmare newsletter known to man.

Has just become one of the best!

My eyes no longer hurt!

Keep improving!

More bullet points, more separator lines, more use of colour, etc.

Content is wonderful as ever, and the layout is much improved -thank you!

I did spend a quarter of an hour trying to work out what "lippie" was though!
