It's a pain in the a**e, to be honest, I fumbled around for some time, but just gave up in the end, it's more trouble than it's worth. A great shame, it was a quality product, but they just had to b*gg*r around with it, just to 'keep up to date'. I've never much liked PDFs to be honest, but they're simplicity personified compared to the new format. I certainly won't be subscribing - they've made it hard work, temporary, and very importantly, no longer quite as free as it appears.
Bah humbug.

pm sent. Hope it helps.

Too many web designers think Flash is the way to go.
I dont like it, it uses up more bandwidth than pdfs, you cant save it for later and makes documents/magazines more difficult to read. Definitely not for me. I will not be subscribing to read any future issues either, I can do without more hassle.

I've just had an e-mail, as I assume all others who are registered with R H have, saying that future editions will be available in a PDF version alongside the new digital version

Yes I got the same one with a HUGE copyright notice at the bottom and in gushing terms saying how so many people LIKED the new format but because some people were experiencing difficulties they were putting a DOWNLOADABLE PDF on the site as well immediately

MY cynical brain says they are worried that so many people don't like the new format and they are not getting the subscriptions they expected (I never believe a gushing newsletter when they say they are getting more than expected YEAH RIGHT)

I was just going to post that, the pdf won't be available to read online but I can't see a problem with that. On the plus side, at least they listened to the complaints.

Edit. The picture viewing is also working properley as well.

Railway Herald email

I got the (long) email-took me nearly as long to read it as issue 300!
They don't actually admit to getting it wrong,but surely bringing back PDF is
an admission in itself. I'll carry on reading it while it's free,but won't be
subscribing-prices only ever go up! Anyway,have checked out RailTalk,which is
just as good and free-thanks again,Robbo.
Off to reset my RH password now,apparently they've lost the lot-not having a
very good week,are they.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, Railway Herald's free period has been extended by four weeks.
