We are working hard on improving the online edition to allow easier viewing. We listened to the complaints about the video functions and created our HDTV platform to combat complaints. The videos you see in the online magazine will be available soon. The HDTV allows full control and full screen viewing. For those having trouble reading articles online, their is also a printed version which will be arriving at local gyms across the US and Canada in the coming week.

Hopefully they will be able to implement some of your ideas. Those are all valid complaints in my opinion. Hopefully they will be able to implement some of your ideas.

I understand this is probably the easiest method but it really is pissing me off. The only thing I like is seeing the photos/layout zoomed-out, I never read the articles (the Red feathers article is 1 of maybe 2-3 that I have read in all 5 issues). Things I think they need to do to improve: - Not have the online version be like the print verison. Two different mediums and need to be treated differently -Need to make it so that it is easy to read text. Maybe a zoom tool that zooms in on a select portion of the page at a time so I can read text, get closeup of photos without needing to fully zoom in. (basically anything to make reading it much easier, I hate reading it right now) - Videos need to have a lot more user control. It was extremely hard watching the red feathers video cause it was so long and I had no idea when it was going to end. -Full Screen version would be a nice touch -Ability to change pages via keyboard arrows would also be a nice touch They really need to work on the online version.

I find reading the online version to be annoying and not as enjoyable an experience as I would have hoped. It would be nice to have some sort of control over the embedded videos too.

Zooming in to be able to read a page requires scrolling down but out in the 2-page format is the most aesthetically pleasing. Then you can't read any of the words. Maybe I am missing something. Neat idea. Kinda hard to follow. I find the format irritating. Zooming in to be able to read a page requires scrolling down but out in the 2-page format is the most aesthetically pleasing.

Their articles aren't quite up to par with the big mags, but I think their photography, layout/design and innovative online format are excellent.
