Sheeeeez, I was just debating whether to open a new thread or add it to the existing reviews but you beat me to it. Now I'll actually read it. LOL.

 

I tried reading it this A.M., but too much of a struggle. Why can't Winding Road have a user friendly format?

 

^^^^^^

Worst.

Website.

Ever.

 

I think it is supposed to be a KINDLE user friendly format, but obviously not PC !!

I gave up

 

Site locks up on 3rd page load. Shame for me.....looks like it had potential.

 

Strange, if anyone would have problems with a website it is usually me but I had no problem going through the whole magazine. Just kept clicking the forward arrow and had no problem.

There is also a good article on the new McLaren supercar in this same issue.

 

I also read the whole issue. Actually I pretty much just skimmed the Mustang article. There was nothing new in it haha. But the pop-up ads to subscribe were annoying. I would rather have the magazine in my hand or on a normal Internet-article platform though.

 

I didn't have any problem with the format. Actually prefer it to the 'broken up with pictures and adverstising' look of CNN, MSNBC, etc.

 

I found it read rather nicely. I, too, read the whole thing.

 

While I find the concept of a website with minimum system requirements rather ridiculous, there is some advantage to perfectly preserving the original print layout.

As for pop-ups, if you had half a clue how to navigate the internet you would have a pop-up blocker. I personally recommend Firefox with Ad-Block Plus, but that's a personal opinion thing. Chrome and Safari both have equivalents. If you use IE, you deserve pop-ups. That is all.

 

Hey that's great. Good for you. The magazine had a built in subscription notice that would come up every few pages, if you read the whole magazine. It was built in to the actual magazine, not a separate pop-up window. Using Safari and Firefox over here, but thanks for making yourself look like an ***

 

It might have been a coincidence, but I went back a page when one of the Kindle ads showed up and it was the last one I saw for the remainder of the magazine.

 

You specifically mentioned pop-ups in your post and I didn't encounter a single one after reading the entire magazine (ok, skimming the entire magazine). And yet now you say there were no popups at all? What exactly are you referring to?

 

In clicking the right arrow, occasionally it would ask you to subscribe to the magazine before loading the next page. If you clicked the arrow again it would keep going to the next page. As someone else mentioned, I went "back" once and the subscription notification stopped for the remainder of the magazine. It wasn't a separate window. I likened it to the stupid subscription inserts that I tear out of magazines before I even start reading...

 

Yeah, I've perfected the "shake 'n flip" method of getting rid of those. They seem to enjoy putting in a mix of bound and unbound subscription cards in there. So you gotta hold it by either end of the spine and shake vigorously to get the unbound cards out, then flip through the magazine; it will naturally land on where the (much stiffer) bound cards are. They always seem much skinnier once you tear all the cards out...

 

Just read the whole thing. Nice find. No pop ups or troubles of any kind.

 

Worked okay. Just had to disable some script blockers.
