Have pages from The Yorkshire Telgraph and Star for October 1914 found using my iPad at home but when I go to the main home computer this title is not even in the list of newspapers! What's happening?

This is strange – we are not aware of this newspaper – is there any chance it could be http://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/search/results?newspaperTitle=Yorkshire%20Post%20and%20Leeds%20Intelligencer

Hi. I do not like the fact that your website has as a default the automatic renewal of monthly membership. I
I subscribed for one month and then found that the subscription renewed without my permission. This is not good enough. I have cancelled the auto renew but should not have had to. Please correct. You state that this has been done, but it is obviously not clear still.

Hello there,
This should now be clear. The first place that this is mentioned is on the subscription page itself. There is then very clear wording in the confirmation email that you receive when you make a purchase, including instructions for now to turn off continuous membership. Please let us know if you received a purchase confirmation email which did not contain this information and we will investigate!

You can now do this via the “Newspapers we should add next” ideas board. In terms of seeing what is available at BL, this is slightly challenging, but please work on the assumption that anything which receives a lot of requests will be investigated by us to determine what holdings are readily available

List of titles not yet online
Can we please have a list of titles not yet online, for reference?

To a certain extent, the list of titles not yet online is simply any newspaper published within the UK up to the present day and Ireland up to 1920. However, a good source is the British Library’s catalogue which details their newspaper holding – we hope this is useful! http://explore.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/search.do

Blue boxes
I would like to suggest you stop using the blue boxes the highlight the search terms used when viewing a article. Sometimes it blocks out the entire word and makes it harder to read.

Hello, you can turn this on and off from the image viewer: just use the “hide search terms” button on the left of the viewer!

Hello,
You can make the image viewer go full screen which will help with this.
