Section D in Daily Sun
 

Anyone else still having trouble adjusting to the new style of section D? I am still stuck on liking the format that disappeared about a week ago. The Out and About page is really overkill and confusing. Some of the columns have disappeared
Today I particularly didn't like the way Pickleball was written up, it almost was mocking the game, obviously written by someone who doesn't play the game. Some of the words were inappropriate and a bit demeaning I thought.
Maybe I'm to picky.

:agree:I am so glad you opened this subject - I absolutely hate the changes to the newspaper. I always thought it was rather like a funny paper, now it is more like komik-kuts than anything else.

Dislike the colors. Dislike the layout. Front page is full of nonsense. If one wants to really see some news you have to hunt for it. For goodness sakes, treat us like adults and give us a real newspaper and use this as an insert!:cus:

Section D
 

I, for one, hate it. I like to do all the puzzles, and flipping the pages back and forth and upside down to find answers drives me bonkers. What's more, the Hocus Focus puzzle has been made so small one almost needs a magnifying glass to find the differences.

I didn't like it the first day so e-mailed them. I think if everyone would call or e-mail them instead of saying nothing...they might change it back. I find it really hard to read!!

I do the puzzles every day and hated the new format. So, I sent comments to the paper, to which they responded. They tweaked it a bit, and I complained (politely) again. I was thrilled to see the puzzle page back in a user-friendly format. I sent a thank you email, and got a response saying they appreciated the input. So, if you don't like it, let them know - they were very responsive to my suggestions.

do not like it at all. I liked it when the puzzles were all on the same fold; then I could remove it and they were all together. most of the time they are now on different folds. also, they have made the jumble and the crossword in larger type; really! we are not that decrepit that we need it larger. and the crossword has fewer words.
really not an improvement.

My mother in law really dislikes the new format and called the newspaper to let them know her feelings about the style change. Personally, I don't really care, but I do suggest if the new design isn't to your liking, call the paper and let them know, nicely, that the change bothers you.

I do like the new look. Easy to read...larger print & headlines are clearer! Change is good!

What do you mean the front page is full of nonsense? I'm finally on the front page of a newspaper and you call it nonsense. The article is about my village social group The Collierites. Geeze, you sure did burst my bubble. Lol.

Honestly, I was surprised to see it on the front page and was expecting the article to be in the lifestyle section.

:agree:

Changes are horrible..........

I like the additional info about what's going on at the centers.

I like the 3 day schedule - like to plan ahead.

Don't like it at all especially the puzzle page. Thanks for suggesting a phone call to the office..will do so in the morning

The paper wasn't a real NEWSpaper before the changes and certainly wasn't improved any by the changes, but that's OK, it's not supposed to be. It is a house organ by and for The Villages and it does a great job at fulfilling that role. I like it!!
