Still waiting for the "ker-thwack"!

And trying to avoid all the annoying promotions and "in issue 153...blah, blah"  as it ruins the surprise of opening the mag :-/

This is the exact reason I’m considering cancelling my mag subscription, since I got mine there’s been a steady drip drip drip of the content on here so I may as well wait and read it on here 🤔🙄

We have lots of digital subscribers as well as print ones. Also, since we're not in newsagents the website becomes our shop window, so we have to shout about it here! The stories are all paywalled, and they have an image at the top to flag that they're from the magazine, so it should be fairly easy to dodge the digital stories if you want to wait for the paper experience.

Just gone ker-thwackke here in Belgium and it looks great and I'm loving it so farm. Don't know what it is about it that's changed but it somehow feels more attractive and I'm enjoying the reading so far. Great work

I think this is a really good issue. I've read every article. I, like others it seems, was surprised to find that I'd already read many of the articles on the website. That's entirely on me though - the web articles are pretty clearly marked with "Issue 153:" and I just didn't pay any attention to that!

Next issue I'll just deliberately ignore the articles (more accurately the forum posts that are generated for them.) In an ideal world there'd be a checkbox somewhere for print subscribers, to hide articles and related forum topics, but even in the category of first world problems this isn't high on my list!

I love getting a "proper" magazine, but feel like I'm being nudged towards digital. Reasons would be: content, cost and delays in receiving, ie., After I've seen much of the content touted on the website! Still not got issue 153, although Zoe has been great as always (it's happened before!).

Must be a nightmare making a "proper" magazine though... I do appreciate that.

Probably worth handling the latest issue before you do anything hasty!

I like the new format, the look and feel of the magazine. Have read most articles. Only thing I don’t get on with is white font on a dark background!
I prefer reading a magazine to reading on a screen. Keep up the good work 😊💪
