Newsletter Needs "Table of Contents" View
Posted: Mon Jun 03, 2013 7:30 am
The current view of the newsletter shows the title of the article as well as many lines of text of the article. If there's too much content, you get a "More..." control to click on to see more, or you can click on the article itself and open it. What I find is that this limits the number of articles that can appear on one page and how quickly you can review the articles. There really needs to be a list view that just shows the article title, date (and maybe author) and nothing more. It's too difficult for people to quickly parse the article titles to find what they're looking for. A "more" control is great, but it needs to compact all the way down to the article title and date.
What I'm seeing is that some people are trying to compact several older articles into one archive article because we have something like 10 pages of articles now. It's a pain to navigate through everything, even when you're filtering by one of the categories.
So you might see something like this (a little difficult to show here with proper formatting, but I'll try):
