I don't know if anyone else has brought this up, but....

 The vast majority of past issues have consistently featured a woman on the cover... perhaps we could have some variety? It's cliche at the least, a bit discriminatory at the most... Surely I can't have been the only one to think so. Every time I take my magazine out of it's packet I go *eyeroll*. Come on. Surprise me a little.

 I try to keep an eye which copies sell out faster (on myfavouritemagazine.com) and to me it seems the pretty face closeups with a lot of realism are the ones that do so... If you worry about alienating male customers, surely you can have male figures/faces represented in a highly aesthetically appealing manner so this doesn't happen.

Just my two cents. I still love the articles and interviews :) 

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

NOOOOOOO! not again!!!!!! please, please no!

sorry Lisa, this has been discussed many many times before, hence my first comment.

Oh I'm sorry, I did look at the posts to see if it was, and couldn't find it. Why no sticky then, if it keeps getting posted and this is a recurrent discussion? It would avoid reposts of the same query... People can't automatically know it's already been discussed, no?

Or maybe you could link me to the relevent post please? Thanks!

:)

em...:

Could you point me to the 999,999th post please? It doesn't seem to be in this forum or any of its predeccessors for that matter, but perhaps I am looking in the wrong place?

dont be mean to Lisa....

Lisa, that may change now that Rob (editor) is gone, but who knows what the new editor will do.

urgh i hope not! i love the covers full of pretty women! i think every one should have a woman!!

Thanks Kazky, I just looked it up now. :)

Now I'll know at least to intimately frisk the forums  before I ask a question.   heh.

Anyways could I suggest perhaps having a way to browse through the older forum posts? So say, one would be able to flick back a couple of weeks in the suggestions forum, to see what has been asked recently? As it is, I clicked through the two pages in the suggestion forum, checked likely posts to see if they were relevent and found the question hadn't been asked. I know I could have searched for it directly - and maybe it's just me, but it was the less intuitive thing to do, searchboxing.

lol! frisking would be well recieved i reckon!!

i think you're right though about finding old threads for often asked questions etc, but i honestly don't know the solution, we have a sticky (i think) for how to post images on the forum, but it's a question that people constantly ask (it's human nature i guess)

hey Lisa,

the topic usually ends up in an argument or blown out of proportion. that's why it's not really a discussion that's been pinned on the forums and the topic usually gets locked after a short bit. I'm sure you'll find some answers in those other posts as to reasons and thoughts though.

if you want to be able to see more posts that are in a particular forum look to the bottom of the forum. You should see a tab down there that says 'More Options'. Click on this tab and a bunch of  selection boxes will come up. Just change the 'Date Filter' box to say 'Show All' and you'll have more pages worth of topics to look through.
