We've noticed that the newsletter is getting a bit long recently - we seem to have more content, competitions and other things going on than ever before. So, in an effort not to overdo it all in one day, we're going to be splitting it up over the course of the week so that you get shorter, more digestible bits of news more frequently. If there's anything you'd like to see more (or less) of, please let us know, but it'll be mostly the same stuff: features, competitions, offers, bookclub news and of course, highlights from the forums. smile

I don't like these daily newsletters either, weekly is much better.

Yes, I used to look forward to the weekly newsletter. If I was busy when it arrived I'd wait until I had time and sit down and read it with a brew or a wine depending on the time of day.

It didn't matter if it was wordy, that was fine. Yes, snippets from the forums were my special favourites too. But I'd go into parts of the forums I didn't normally look at via links.

The bite-sized newsletters don't have to go completely. If there's something special then the odd 'News Flash' sent out on an ad hoc basis would be welcome too.

I agree with everyone else I prefer the weekly ones as well.

I agree. If it is too much for someone to get it ready all at once, why not do one item a day and send it out once a week?

Used to skim read and pick up on anything of interest but am simply deleting the daily bits.

Here's another one who doesn't like this new format. I enjoyed looking at the weekly newsletter, didn't find it too wordy, and particularly liked the 'from the forums' section (bit like the late evening 'and finally...' news).

I haven't had a newsletter for ages! Not a weekly, daily, or any kind of one. What's going on?! shock

I can feel a Dear GNHQ coming on. hmm

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback. Don't think there are plans to change back to the original format at the moment, but obviously we're in the early stages with the new one.

On another note, jingl it looked like you were unsubscribed to the newsletters, so we've subscribed you again.

I liked the original newsletter. Lately it has become shorter and less interesting. I don't like the more frequent ones either ........... It's like when you go to Tesco and everything has been moved - it unsettles me confused
BRING BACK THE WEEKLY ONE grin
