Old QBs now on the Web site

[Rick]

As of today, we are starting to publish the first QBs from 1981 onwards on the web site, some of you may have these already but for newer members there is a wealth of information to digest, you will also see that we have watermarked the pages to dissuade paste and copy to other sites.

Are you creating a new section for them ?

 

[Steve 155C]

Pete , there is a new section called magazine archives

https://lotuscortina.net/qb-magazine/

Rick, just some feedback.

When I click to read a QB it's presented like this on my phone.

It took a while to suss out that you have to click the little square on the top left of the screen to close the summary pages so that you can then read the QB.

Can the summary view not be displayed by default when the QB is first launched and the reader can select that feature if they need it?

Hi Steve, I will ask the question, as you may have gathered, how it works is well above my pay grade

Got it !
My quick link to the LCR takes me straight to the forum so I couldn't see the new section.

Thanks Rick.

Another suggestion. Would it be worth grouping the mags by year, so one web page or filter per year? Trying to load or display every QB on one page might be a bit much.

I must say that this is a fantastic benefit for the members. Thanks to all involved for providing it.

I remember I did this quite a few years back from the archives I had on a memory stick, but was asked to remove them as they contained a lot of personal information, albeit quite old.

I think now, as I did then, that it was a good idea to share this wealth of information with current members. Has something changed?

 

[Steve 155C]

Rick, looks like the magazine archive is not restricted to LCR members. Is that intentional?

 

[Rick]

Steve, whilst non members can see the front pages of the posted QBs they cannot access the content when they click on them.

As someone who is IT illiterate, I am so glad that I have original hard copies of every QB that has ever been published!

Can I get opinions on the state of literacy of Michael Winstock.
I can't imagine a less illiterate person than the wonderful Michael! ,,,,,,,,,,,

It was his IT literacy he was questioning Peter. :wink:

Thanks Keith. I read that too quickly and missed the IT part. Apologies to Michael also!
