Some pointers for giving us feedback, so that we can actually use it:
1) If you like/dislike a particular article in the magazine, then point that one out specifically, tell us what you liked/disliked about it, and why you liked/disliked it, so that we can give you more/less of that and improve our content. Instead if listing the articles that you liked, or saying "this article rocked" or "this section sucked" tell us the exact points that made you feel that way about the article
2) Apart from the text, point out readibility, the images used, the design, and the snippets from the magazine. Please throw any thoughts you have about these things at us
3) Give us feedback on the expirience of the magazine. Which articles did you read thoroughly, which articles did you read only part of, and which parts. Which parts were helpful, which parts were illuminating, and which parts seemed to just fill the pages.

Simple? Now do a dry run in the October feedback thread. We'll give you feedback on your feedback. Too much noise? Maybe. But it will help us, and you.

PS: :facepalm: for the typo

I posted too soon. Sorry Anorion! This IS post of the week. :lol:

And yeah, can we put in some feedback about the forum here too. IMO, if you guys paid even 5% of the attention that you give to the superb mag, this forum would be 100 times better. C'mon guys... Removing side ads to increase forum width can't be that hard, can it? Keep some ads on the top and some at the bottom if you like, but why the side? Also, we need a large number of smileys. :facepalm: is a good place to start with. :) Anyone even bothered to not ignore this?

God! Surprised ! When I saw this thread title but after checking I'm a little bit of disappointed as there is no preview actually up and running.

5 days seems to be too long after seeing this thread title :p

As for feed back be assured I'll post some as soon as I got my copy :p
