Love the new format on my iPad and 22-inch Windows machine.

Thank you, Joe, for suggesting Good Reader for the iPad. Best $5 ever!

Well I am sure, I will get hate mail on this...but as a reader, I feel that all comments should be welcomed-we all have to be able to take advice and learn.  

I have to say that I for one, would like the old version of MRH back!  I have a big monitor as I have an all in one, and find this new format a bit cramped, I enjoyed the landscape version that was what you got on the older issues.  I understand the concept and the need to evolve and change as new tech come out, but I think MRH should have focused on those, as for those that read them on laptop and desktops, for myself, I was fine with what you guys had.  It seems you guys are having to do more work than you had before with this new version-your posts attests to that, as your embedded version is really delayed, because of link issues.  I would like to ask that you keep the prior version available.  I would very much like to see a return to that, or make it bigger for desktop users...I find it smaller than before and like I said cramped.

Please keep the old version going. Downloading by PC (windows 7)  is very slow on new version with frequent time outs - do not now why. Otherwise, keep up the good work !

The old version was much better "out of the box" for reading on the PC, this new version reads very poorly on the PC, things are blurry, I can't read the diagrams at all.  I bet after I play with it, I will find a way to make it read better, somehow.  Ah technology, always messing around with a good thing.

downloading new ver. timed out. every new thing takes time to shake out the bugs. so good luck and I still like the MRH mag. lets give it awhile and see how the powers that be handle the problems. take care guys.

I am not very impressed with the new online format for MRH - it loads much more slowly than the original format on my Windows desktop (24" monitor) and when you click for a new page it crawls across the screen instead of flipping smartly to the other side as it used to do.

Can we either have an option to use the old format or hope for an improvement with the new ?

Best regards

On the Jan issue page, to the right of the cover is a link to our backup site if the main site is slow - did you try it as well?

Yes - I did try the alternative server (and I have tried both sources on several occasions) but without seeing any noticeable improvement.

Hopefully, performance will be improved in due course.

I always embrace change for the better, but the new format isn't working for me. I view on an iPad with good reader, and the layout is less optimal than the previous version. Download was a bit tricky as well. I did download the latest version of Adobe Reader, and perhaps things will improve with familiarity.

I don't try to read MRH or much of anything else on my pad or smartphone, since old eyes don't do so well with smaller fonts.  It will remain much simpler for folks like me to have a landscape format option (unless the workload in producing it will make it a non-starter).  While on many pages it really doesn't make a big difference, it really does on others where the landscape edition uses more than just half of the page for a graphic, image, or whatever.
