This recently started happening with update notices etc. Please start cutting and pasting the information you announce back into the playonline news updates. Placing a WEB link is just plan downright lazy. Your console users can't cut and paste those links anyway god forbid type them long links out manually so what's the point of posting them.
My point is these notices and news are most simple text details that don't need redirected off to some web page when they could just as easily be pasted here as well.
Just today I look at the 04/17/2011 Fishing improvements on the way.
When clicked on there is NO info about what the announcement is. The Developers room just says DEV1008 , for detail please visit the URL below.
This information should be listed in here with the Link if someone wishes to go to the web site fine but both should be available. In this is current form after the forums where launched it's become extremely inconvenient. This announcement feature built into playonline has been nerfed because the person in charge of posting announcements seems to be taking shortcuts.
Who ever is in charge these has either been told to traffic people to the forums or they've decided to be lazy. Either way I don't see any excuse why this information can't be placed inside the play online news listings. This amounts to a newspaper with links to news and no news on it. SE please start putting the notices back in the menus not just empty news remarks linked to external links.

Better solutions; Join the PC master race or find a way to get rid of POL viewer. Does anybody use POL for anything besides getting into FFXI?

BTW: The use of Master Race is also a bad choice of words considering it's underlying and direct relationship to Nazism. Enough said.
