I have sent hepful suggestions for the VI community to Hotmail before

but just now as I'm trying to finish up my computer duties so I can get back to packing, I encountered -literally- 3 inches in which to read a friend's message, and that pissed me right off.  So I wrote Hotmail about it, in one of the angrier tones I think I ever have written any formal company...

This sidebar advertisement shite is getting -REDICULOUS.-   I just tried to read an e-mail from a friend, and your "little" sidebar ad was so far over into the middle of the screen that I literally had 3 inches' message width in which to read my friend's mail. (No joke- I measured.)  Meanwhile there was nearly as much space on the opposite side of your ad, leaving a sea of white space left unused- where my message could have and SHOULD have been.  

I get that you need/wand ads all over the bloody place, but can't you put them above and/or below messages, instead of encroaching them ever further in the already small message space provided???

 

I love Hotmail, don't get me wrong.  But these ads need to BACK THE HECK OFF.

Having no way to maneuver/move window/frame edges and only -sometimes- being able to "expand" a message to its full width is retarded.  I shouldn't even have to click "Show Full Message," for God's sake.  If I've already clicked on it to read it, I WANT the full bloody message! :P
 

 

Stop making it so hard for people to read the mail your service provides.  Otherwise, what's the point?  Don't call yourself Hotmail, just fess up to it and call yourselves bloody "Hotads" and get it over with.

Sincerely Yours,
