Print friendly articles and their absence on your site.

[William Isley]

I don't want to rant about the love bug I have a bigger question in mind.

I have noticed that your site is one of the few that does not give us the
option of printing out articles featured on your site in a manner that just
gives us text to send to our printers. I realize that by asking for that
feature I will probably be burn at the stack for herasy. It would mean a
whole lot of updating etc.

I am just courious as to why these wonderful site perks haven't been implemented
yet?

Thank you for your time.

William: Printer-friendly articles are on our list of things to do, it's
just a matter of finding the time and personnel to make it happen. I don't
know when it will get done, but it's definitely something we plan to do
eventually. Thanks!

Hi William --

There's a wonderful thread titled "VBPJ Archives Format" in the talk.editors.vbpj
group, where this has recently been dwelled on for a 100 or so posts. Everyone seems
to agree, save the "designers" (gotta disavow that title, I'm afraid) of the site,
that what's there now is entirely unusable. Used to be the articles were presented
in PDF format, and that didn't sit well with everyone. So, now we have the
retailiation: advertising-laden, multipaged, popup-infested articles that no one can
print or archive for offline reference. Sad, isn't it?

Later... Karl
