It looked dangerously like I was going to have 10 mins free today, so this little emergency has, thankfully, filled that dangerous gap. Give me nothing to do and I know I'd quickly degrade into sending around viral videos of kittens on trampolines and stuff.
All bad.

We did this because it's important for new members to be aware that there are licensing terms associated with the downloads. We are making the assumption that more experienced members are aware enough to check articles' license terms before downloading, so they don't see this intermediate page.
The download page should have a direct link to the download if, for some reason it doesn't automatically start downloading. Do you have any add-ins installed such as ad blockers, or do you have auto-refresh disabled on your browser?

Thank you Chris for fast responding.
I appreciate your job and the many others who kept our lovely site in it's best.
Now I see why that changes ,But even the 'Click her if download does not apprear' doesn't do the job at most of my cases.
any Idea how to make that work for me ?
BTW -I don't have any add-ins installed such ad blockers ,and my browser has been set to auto refresh as I think.
There is always hope ..!

I am not a fan of the new frame above the external links, but I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt that it is good for something [ad revenue?]
I thought I'd bring over an idea from the lounge which might make it more palatable, add [next] and [previous] buttons so that we can scroll through the news articles; this would be elephanting good on my mobile.

This is one of the things the framing allows us to do.
Maybe a compromise in that we ditch a lot more chrome and leave just a nav frame up top. Then we could do the next/prev.

I full-well acknowledge I am a klutz, but we could really do with an undo klutziness button on this one IMO, given the implications.

Please why you force me to click one more time to read news article?
If I would not want to read opened article I would not click at previous link at all.
If I want summary I would read text over link.
It's unnecessary at all, and eats my download limit on my phone.

Why don't you opt for text-only emails? That way you won't have to deal with iframes and text mails are easier to read on a mobile device.

Ah okay. Thanks.
I just looked at a few pages and they look okay to me. The one thing that is a little annoying is you have the CP site header and then inside the iFrame the 3rd party site's header, so the article starts way down the screen. Maybe if you could thin out the CP header so the iFrame starts at around the 100th pixel position from the top, it woould look better. What do you think?

Oh it's better than that. I own a slider so I have to scroll to see not article but even link [Remove frame]. For me it's just redundant and annoying clutter.
For what it is for exactly? Title? It's in frame anyway. Summary? It's over link, and most of the times excatly same as first paragraph of the article. There are no ads to? So it's not for money? So what? Constant reminder? CP logo?
I am sorry for rant but I really do not see the point.

I'll second removing the frames and using text-based newsletters. The frames are one of those changes that adds nothing for the user - particularly if someone is reading it with a text-based browser (w3m).
Please rethink this.

Q19, Licensing Tools seems to be mandatory.
Not sure if this is a bug, it could, after all, be what you want, but I thought I'd report it in case.

...truncates the QA list page to the < character.
This message: Serverside alert problem[^]
Had the title:
Response.Write(), response filters, HttpModules, or server trace is enabled. Details: Error parsing near '<script language='ja'.
Which made the Quick Answers List page end after the < character - understandably.

I understand any single change on the filters/sort by fields on the Search Page automatically updates the search results, which I believe is an excellent feature. However, it can be quite a hassle for us who have slow internet connection to, for example, untick Questions/Answers, tick Articles, and then sort by Date Modified Desc. My suggestion is that, maybe we can just update the search results after the user has made some changes on the filters and clicked on the Search button. Or maybe we can have an additional button, say Update Filter, which works similarly to what we currently have in Q&A.

I'm thinking it would probably be nice if we have some functionality for authorized users to mark some questions as solved. This is for those questions that were unanswered but OP has acknowledged in their comments that they have solved the issues by themselves.
