First of all, there is very little info you can extract from thumbnails. I see no help from them.
Second, any newsletter layout should make search for the article or programming tip easier. For example, I am the C++ guy. So, before, I went straight to C++ category. So it is not about like/don't like the new look. This is about no possibility to use a newsletter: would you scan all newsletter to find there is nothing for you today.
Please return to old layout with categories, new and updated articles/tips/blogs. I saw another post here with the same request.
Again, the new layout renders newsletters of no use. I would rather use search for latest C++ articles than wander amid these thumbnails.

Did you see the answer of Yuriy Loginov? He explains the idea behind and tells about the use of filters. Using them you should take ride of your not desired content.

Yes, filter might help, but also might be very wrong. For example, lot of articles on design patterns are in C#. So if you are C++ guy and are interested in design patterns, you have to invent a very complicated filter and for what? To allow wrong solution to exist?
I think your position is not defensible. You took the good layout and replaced it with very bad. And you insist that the users should do their own extra work to correct what you did.
And what about new/updated?
And answer honestly: what did you want to accomplish? Definitely you made life of the readers much more difficult. For what?
Restore the old layout and keep it until you find something better.
Addition: I read the reply by Yuriy. I think it is totally wrong. If the guy is searching a list for what he needs, it is totally wrong to narrow the field of the search as it was suggested. Sometimes you can find a pearl on the side. What is important, it is to give him a clear cues what he is looking at. In your solution the user sees the list without cues, and it is wrong.

I understand your point.

It is better.
Did not get two things:
1. What is the meaning of icons to the left of the list items (light bulbs or paper (?) pages)?
2. You may also like... What is it? Is it not a contribution of CP author, something else? What?
Also, article rating is very deceiving thing: look how many posts are saying 'Wonderful!!!' about very mediocre articles. I would never allow high ratings to influence me. Low rating is another thing. Maybe it is better to display ratings when an article is open.
Anyway, thank you for a quick reaction.

My impression is that there is much more vertical white space in the new layout than you had before. This makes it really unpleasant/slow to scroll through, so I gave up reading it.

I tend to agree with the previous two messages about categories. In terms of layout, I think the newsletter looks really clear so it is easy to read the synopsis alongside each image. What is missing in many of the messages is the category or language, so it's difficult to know whether a particular article is going to be useful (to me, as I only work in <insert your="" language="" of="" choice="" here="">).

Hi,
I have submitted one article in CodeProject site with tag C#,.Net and title of article was “.Net framework Stack”. After submitting article successfully, I can’t find it on site. It disappeared from My Articles section  . I wrote this article in many days and saved multiple times on CodeProject web site so I assume it must be present somewhere.
Can you help me in recovering this article or atleast can I get the images used in the article. It took hell lot of time to design them?
Please help me to recover it.
Thanks
Jitendra

Is it possible to get the old newsletter version back?
I really do miss the sections and do not know what the pictures are for.

Hello,
The idea behind the new format is that we only want to give you the information you want and save you the time weeding out stuff you don't care about. You can customize the content you see in newsletters by setting keyword filters in your profile settings and this way you will only see the topics you are interested in without the other noise.
The idea behind images and the whole redesign in general was to get the look and feel of Code Project pages in newsletters. We may change the images to icons that will indicate weather the content item is an article, tip and trick, blog etc...
I will talk to Chris about offering the option of reverting back to the old layout.
Thanks,
Yuriy

Several users already told about it in the poll itself, it is a bit confusing...
The question says: "Is coding addictive?"
The explanation says: "I, personally, can give it up at any time I wanted to"
the explanation goes against the question...
Maybe rephrasing the note?

"This is an old version of the currently published technical blog."[^]
So why is it in the queue? Surely there is no reason to moderate an old version when there is a newer one already published?

Mind you, there were one or two other old versions in the queue as well. I just mentioned this as an example...

You had the phrase "Keep a running update of any changes or improvements you've made here." still in the article. That triggers the warning.
You also have a busted image. Can you please update?
[Edit: OK, I'm getting that error too even after cleaning up the article. Weird since no one's touched the code for that warning in ages, but I'll dig in tonight.]
cheers

I was using an Image from Google play directly. I removed the image and uploaded it locally. Rest of the images are all formatted to 640 width. Only one curtain image is of width 200, height 400. And I am still getting the error.
