    Please why you force me to click one more time to read news article? If I would not want to read opened article I would not click at previous link at all. If I want summary I would read text over link. It's unnecessary at all, and eats my download limit on my phone.

        Why don't you opt for text-only emails? That way you won't have to deal with iframes and text mails are easier to read on a mobile device.

          He's talking about the site, not emails.

            Ah okay. Thanks. I just looked at a few pages and they look okay to me. The one thing that is a little annoying is you have the CP site header and then inside the iFrame the 3rd party site's header, so the article starts way down the screen. Maybe if you could thin out the CP header so the iFrame starts at around the 100th pixel position from the top, it woould look better. What do you think?

              Adding to my previous post, this is what I mean: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/Uploads/20248/CMaunderCapture.JPG[^] Notice how far down the actual article starts.

                Oh it's better than that. I own a slider so I have to scroll to see not article but even link [Remove frame]. For me it's just redundant and annoying clutter. For what it is for exactly? Title? It's in frame anyway. Summary? It's over link, and most of the times excatly same as first paragraph of the article. There are no ads to? So it's not for money? So what? Constant reminder? CP logo? I am sorry for rant but I really do not see the point.

                  I'll second removing the frames and using text-based newsletters. The frames are one of those changes that adds nothing for the user - particularly if someone is reading it with a text-based browser (w3m). Please rethink this.
