Reply fiatfan Member sinceMay 2003 From: US 1,400 posts Posted by fiatfan on Thursday, November 27, 2003 9:42 AM The new format is fine. I also agree about increasing the size of the video clips. But (and you knew there was a 'but' coming, didn't you), what happened to MR Express? I enjoy the brief articles. They have given me some great ideas. Please continue with them.

Erik Erik, This happened to me in the past but it was my old ISP's (Inforamp) new anti-spam software deciding that anything coming from yahoo groups was spam. Never could get them OR yahoo to work around this, so I changed ISP's when I got the cable modem.

The younger 'readers' likely will find it pleasing. I would comment that the frames are not wide enough to fill the page. That should be easy enough to fix. Also I'd like to see all the hotlinks the same color and type face throughout, perhaps with a distinctive icon of their own. Another thing, the popup ads are annoying. Once per visit is OK but they seem 'unwilling' to take no for an answer. I like the that the new product section has more graphics and I specially like having the manufacturers websites hotlinked. Well done on that feature. The pages seem to load well enough over my 56k dialup modem. The worst aspect: the video files will not load, nor will the PDF files. I continue to get a disconnect message from the sender side of the pipe. I wrote about this some time ago to the site manager and have gotten no response. Thus, I presume, no human on your end cares to look in to the matter. I do not have this problem with any other websites and regularly get emails with both video clips and PDF files. I'd be interested to know if anyone else has this particular problem.
