Kinda hard when most events are not published until maybe a month before they happen. As a PM you can set up notifications for events. And I may be wrong- but I'm sure events go onto the newsletter when they're published regardless of the ever date. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Am I the only one that is dismayed by the further spread of grey to the newsletter? The contrast of the text has been reduced, making it a bit tougher to read when scanning. When I viewed it on my laptop, the event and new cache sections pretty much blended together when I was scrolling. The break just isn't obvious enough. ...and what's with the obsession with fixed-width? The newsletter looked far better when it fit my screen no matter which device I was using. Now I have to scroll forever because the list of Megas is squished horizontally and pretty much doubles the vertical height of the entire newsletter. Groundspeak: Please stop tinkering and catering to the squeaky wheel. Find out what your users want (and I don't mean the few that have complained to you), come up with a plan, implement it, test it, then release it into the wild. Your general membership should not be used as beta-testers and you wouldn't have to make so many changes if you asked what we wanted before going ahead and implementing it. Quote Link to comment

+The_Incredibles_ Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think it looks OK, just too narrow. Quote Link to comment
+Papa EGTH Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hmm....the Nearby Events section doesn't seem to be showing the nearest events. The nearest event in my most recent newsletter is over 21 miles away. I know for a fact that there is an event less than 3 miles away in July (the event was posted on May 13th and the newsletter was sent out on May 28th). Perhaps they are only highlighting the next 2 weeks of events? If so, I would have appreciated knowing there was specific criteria in the heading (i.e. Nearest Events Being Held in the next 2 Weeks).

+Papa EGTH Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 still not liking the newest Groundspeak weekly newsletter - cutoff for dates of upcoming events too short to plan for trips - suggest it should be 3months at least... What is the cutoff date? Seems to be 2 weeks. I'd like to see at least 2 months for the stated reason. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 What is the cutoff date? Seems to be 2 weeks. It's the next 10 events within an unknown, but fixed, distance from your home location. The amount of time spanning those 10 will vary. Quote Link to comment
+etphoneme2plz Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'm not even getting the letter anymore for some reason... Yes I have my stuff set right and nope not in my junk mail box... Just not coming.... Quote Link to comment
+Tribble157 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Is anyone else having trouble with the Groundspeak newsletter? For the past two weeks - since the new format appeared -- there are NO caches listed under the new caches section. Surely someone has hidden a cache within 100 miles of my location. Also, for several weeks the newsletter no longer arrives on Thursday. Some weeks it is six days late, if it arrives at all. What's going on? Quote Link to comment

+rikjaxon Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I too stopped getting my newsletter. I emailed Groundspeak and they are asking me to check email settings. I did that, nothing seems to be amiss. I added a second email address to see if I start getting them once again. Quote Link to comment
