Anyone else getting a Newsletter in a "new" format?
Anyone else thinks it's crap?

Or is it just me??

I've just received the latest Olympic one, as well as the usual newsletter in new format.

Nothing really stands out as crap. Not sure about the links down left hand side, but they fulfill a purpose.

What is it you don't like? YBW staff read these threads, so probably helpful to state what you don't like, and what you'd change, and why?

You have received text only thats not a far representation of the HTM L you should have been sent so not a good comparison sorry for that not sure why?

My email was also very text oriented, and not very html

Didn't keep it to give you a screen shot however.

I've received two in "text mode" so far (Tuesday and Friday) plus one in HTML (Friday's Olympic Sailing News from YBW.com and Yachting World).

I do not like the new one either. I am not up to screenshots to show the comparison between old and new, so will just say that the layout and readability of the old is better than the new version. I can see that the new one has more pictures, but the text seems smaller, the links seem less logically placed and the old version seemed to have more stories in brief and more detail in the extract.
