Trail mag what's happened
Permalink  

Just downloaded a copy of this months trail mag, apart from the fact that it took nearly 20 mins to down load, half of the scanned pages are so out of focus they are unreadable. If I had paid for advertising I would be extremely hacked off with the lack of quality control 

On top of that I find it impossible to log onto the Trf national forum to complain

Still this is progress, proper printers would not let work out like that, but it's alright  to send out shoddy electronic copy

Maybe next month will be better, if it isn't I probably won't bother again

 

If a mod wants to pass this on to the editor please be my guest,

 I just added an exception and it let me download it.  I've deleted all the photos of ice cream tubs, bits of mobile phone and wires from my PC years ago so I doubt the CIA will come knocking. biggrin

Well just tried to download again  on a different computer and still a lot of the pages are out of focus, and the computer bod here says nothing wrong with his system

Electronic delivery was supposed to make things cheaper and simpler, well Trf have half the wish it's certainly cheap and it shows,as for simpler it's not

Maybe that's why you can't log in with a complaint to the national site, as theydon't want members to know how bad it really is

As for membership renewal next year lets just wait and see if it improves

I for one am not impressed, one of the reasons I gave for accepting it was I would be able to get Trail when I was offshore some bloody hope of that

Bleddy good job some of us do complain

I guess teething troubles are to be expected for something new.  The out of focus thing you mention indicates to me that the file isn't fully downloaded when you're trying to view it (common with PDFs) - either you have a slow or dodgy connection or the hosting website is overwhelmed or experiencing problems.   My advice?  Chill the **** out.

Works for me, either straight to link or downloaded PDF. Fairly slow PDF download but thats probably to be expected.

 All the good bits have been in our newsletter so you are not missing much.  To be honest I've never seen the point of it anyway.

Given up trying to get it,  The mainframe system just chucks it out as the TRF security is so lax it wont accept it, and I cant bypass it.  Have tried a couple of other WIFI sources fairly fast connections and I have donwloaded a couple of large pdf files, but trail mag not a chance still comes through with half the pages out of focus, and it is the same on my laptop, Ipad and the puter in my office

I suggest that you lot check out your systems, i had no problems whatsoever. Ensure you have the latest PDF plugin's for the browser you are using (i suggest google chrome). The download is large 48mb especially if you live in the sticks be patient. Strange the pictures are in focus for me Tim (1280 x 1024 resolution).

Well I emailed the communications guy at TRF,  Seems they are unaware of anyone having any problems at all with the electronic Trail mag.  but  then remembered and noted that pages were a bit blurry and out of focus when someone at TRF tried to access it when abroad,  and they have a team who are looking into the security issues. mmmmmm

He also notes he will be contacting the Devon TRF,  so to save him the trouble, if you have had a problem with accessing the Trail mag drop him an email, he will look forward to hearing from you

communications@trf.org.uk        attention Mike Irvine

 So im assuming you have contacted the national TRF or the address that sent you the link, and reported these issues?

also if its a hard copy you want, have you requested this? please bear in mind the right person at national may not be reading this forum, lets at lease give the national guys a fighting chance to get it right eh?
