Surprised at the ease of usage

I was leery about switching to online but am pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to manipulate and follow as if I were reading the paper version.

Pop up adds

The latest version introduced really annoying adds that pop up all over the place when you are reading an article. Unfortunately, it is the straw of a newspaper that has been quickly going downhill in quality that will finally break my back and prevent me from resubscribing when my subscription runs out in a month or so.
