True :) Thanks... guess I feel like I'm intruding :lol:

I changed it to eight issue this morning, can you not see it? :oops:

I didn't even look! I was just remembering from yesterday when I read the issue.

***********************

Yes, I see it. Thank you for changing it. :mrgreen:

All good! :D I'm just glad the change is visible :)

Good strong release! Well written and intriguing.

I caught one spelling error, but it's not a big deal, I think it might have just been a straight copy and paste. If you do get a chance to correct it.
Interview, first Frost reply, very last word. 'new markings ext.'
ext should be ect.

There is also a url link that got caught up in the horse image coding.
Racing section, Races, the Pegasus World Cup, has included "[horse=][/horse]"

You don't need to include the links to the people. But I won't say 'get rid of the links' if you want to include them.
On a personal level, I like horse images rather than just links. During interviews, just the url links is better, but when doing the individual competitions and spotlighting the horses, personally, I like to see the horse picture there.
(When spotlighting a competition rather than a horse, url linking the horse in that is the better option).

Let me know if I confused you.

You do NOT need to fix the horse images in this one, please keep it in mind for the next release. The only fix I'd like to see in your release is the Pegasus World Cup url link.

We'll need to consider what to add for future featured for sale horses and for stud horses when including them in the paper. It comes across as a little thin and wispy. Even if the owner doesn't give us anything to include, we'll need to consider adding something.

Thank you for the release! I really enjoyed reading it. :mrgreen:
Ack, gonna change it now!

Right, both have been edited!

For the links to the people, I think I won't do that the next issue, frankly, it's a horrible, tedious process to make them linkable(is that even a word? lol). But yeah, I won't link the people the next issue, it'll save me lots of time too! I swear, if I spent 2 hours writing the issue, 1 and 1/2 were solely used up by coding everything lol.

Ah personally, I don't much like seeing horse pictures when I'm reading something, but yeah, I can add the pictures of the horses in the next issue.

I suggest making a thread in the sales forum. Players can post their horses there with a description. Of course, we'll just pick out a few of the better ones to sell.

(and sorry for the late-ish reply, being the clumsy dork I am, I managed to fall two times in a row and nearly fractured my leg, so x-ray and stuff...ahaha)

You're corrections are in even before your deadline date, so I'm not complaining. :mrgreen:
:| And we all can be clumsy dorks at times. If I had any sort of fragility to my bones, I don't know how many times I would've had broken toes from running them into things... That's if I even bothered getting x-rays every time I did. Or the broken thumb when it went numb after running it right into a tool... or any numerous other incidents...
So it's good to hear that you [somehow] avoided severe injury.

I'll move the suggestion to the writer's chat and see if there's much interest in opening a newsletter classifieds section that has the opportunity to pop up sales in one of the branches. But your suggestion is an appropriate one. It may still be too early for much interest... or rather, there may be more interest in it then in the newspapers...

I found the same thing with the coding. It is a bit of a tedious process. (I think the correct way for link-able is the hyphen, but I tend to combine the word as well). It's the main reason I changed the requirements for the inclusions for each separate competition for the branches, not requiring all three of the rising star, the spotlight horse and the competition spotlight. They can all be added for each one, but are no longer required. Anyway, that's all broken down in the writer's chat.

Thank you for making those corrections! :mrgreen:
