resumption of delivery of ME to Canada

Today I received a copy of ME the first since deliveries were suspended when Copvid19 began.

Will all the undelivered copies be sent?

I find the digital version very unsatisfactory . Even on a 15" screen "lap top" the image is too small for my failing eyesight.

No to first question and have you tried to zoom in to the mag, this is how large I can get it on a screen, if you can't read that then I don't think there is much else that can be done, your little screen will probably only show MOD but still about 2 1/2 times the size of the paper mag.

A very unsatisfactory answer..

I expect to get the hard copies I paid for. All the other UK magazines I subscribe to have managed to continue delivery what is the problem for the ME publications?

Will you give a credit for the ME issues not supplied in hard copy? If not why not?

If I want I can use my 54"TV to read the digital version but it is not an acceptable option for me.

Your smart arse answer is no encouragement to continue using this forum or indeed buying the magazine.

Jason is a moderator on this forum and has nothing to do with ME subs or delivery, contact the magazine direct if you have a problem.

Jason was just trying to help and does not deserve your response.

David, it has been mentioned on the forum several times that your subscription will be extended to cover any lost issues. See here and here

That was on my computer screen, OK it's a bit bigger than a laptop @ 21" but you should still be able to zoom in on that, if I can easily read the mag on a phone screen then a laptop will be massive.

Here is a photo of the paper mag, laptop and PC screen, hopefully you will see that the laptop has an image that is approx twice as large as the printed mag, so if you can read the paper mag I can't see why you can't read it on the laptop?

Hi all;

I keep both an on-line and paper file system of interesting articles. Well, not any more, unfortunately.

Q: Anyone figured out how to print out articles? I do like to scribble on printed copies, as I convert to metric, or make machine-specific notes, then (usually) scan them in for my workshop records.

On my computer systems, ether printing prints nothing, or prints out the left hand side of the first column, and nothing else.

Maybe it's a user problem?

My Mac computers print blank pages;

Also, on one of my computer systems (Linux) jumbles letters – see the attached screen grab!

Yeah, I know, I should

a) not be a ludite (despite working on the html5 standards for a bit)

b) use Windows10 (which I have, but as that computer is for "Canadian Controlled Goods" work, I am loathe to do much other than work-work on it;

c) have a photographic memory so I don't need to keep notes!

So, advice most welcome.

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Afraid to say John it is most likely a problem at your end.

Note that some recent issues in the archive that use the new HTML 5 viewer won't print with a simple click though there are ways to do it. As you obviously have a current subscription I suggest you open recent issues via Pocketmags which has an easy "print" option of upto two pages at a time.

Wonky letters has cropped up before but I'll need to go looking for what the problem was.
