  2. Make the newspaper title and date in a font that can be copied, so that any extract can have a date and name news pasted with it.

  5. Save a single article

    I have been reading for a couple of years that you hope to make it possible to save a single article instead of a whole page but I haven’t seen any progress in providing this, are you actually going to provide this option? it is why I let my subscription lapse, I would rejoin if this was sorted.

  6. Honor Your Promotions - 3 Free pages

    When you have a promotion ie:
    sign in and get 3 pages for free before 7 may 2108

    It would be nice if this actually happened
    And it would be nice if you answered emails quering that it has happened..

    If you are going to run a promotion - Honor it.....

    I am still not able to see 3 free pages

  8. Give me the discount!

    I am asking for help. A few weeks ago I took out another subscription and paid the full asking price - a few hours later I received an email that went on about getting 30% off for being a loyal customer. Your response was to ask me to send a copy of the relevant email - this surprised me as surely you know what the hell is going on in your own organisation. My email have kept bouncing. I have decided to try informing you through this method. A screen shot of the email is attached.

    allow for renewal upgrade through your account to ensure archive is not lost. At present only option is auto renew, but I don’t feel secure that that click leads to option of upgrade? It’s not clear as presented.

  16. Stop the Stupid Drop Down Panels

    I am paying to do research at the British Newspaper Archive. It's not a video game nor an entertainment for me.

    I do not need to have a drop down panel repeatedly appearing, (especially over the menu bar), and suggesting that I "Search the archive"!

    It's a nuisance! Or, do the people at the British Newspaper Archive not have the intelligence to realize it? It is not much better than to have some library worker interrupt people who are reading a book, "Would you like a book to read?" That idiot would be tossed out of a job, very soon;…
