[QUOTE="Danzauker, post: 5613521, member: 1929"] That's the point. I don't log and check daily. I DON'T want to log and check daily. Let's face it: the whole "online magazine offering" is just a glorified file server. There's nothing "online" in it. It's just PDFs that you download and read offline (yes, I know that you can read it in the browser with the right plugin, and most people do, but it's not required). So, why must I wade through the contents of every entry in the archive in order to download what I want? Wouldn't have just been easier to put the clickable download link also in the table row? If I must click twice in order to get what I could get with just one click, it means DOUBLE the time I must spend on the site. That's design oversight. I'm a professional web designer and programmer. I hate those things. Every superfluous click is wasted time for the user and bad user experience. I mean, it's not asking something impossible. It has cost circa zero. Heck, most torrent/download sites already work like this. Plus, don't forget that articles can be updated every time, so original post date is not completey relevant. Does the archive page reflect the last update? I admit I never checked this. [/QUOTE]
