Before, they were viewed as one page. Now a person must view each obituary on it's own.... Some nights the obituaries are online and other nights, as in last night, it stated there were no obituaries for today, even though the online paper was updated last night at midnight Atlantic time. As of two hours ago, the obituaries for this paper online are showing "ten" in the free section. But another lister, informed me that one was missing from online. So I viewed the subscription online, and yes, one was missed, actually two were missing, and one was not in today's hardcopy but in Saturday's edition. I sent out the first email to the list, and then an additional. Only the additional posting came through and is in the archives. What has happened to the first email, must be out there in cyberspace.... I will wait a few hours to see if it appears in the archives, and if not, I will resend the original obituaries, with all the corrections. Then I will eliminate any of the previous obits listings for today.... So you may all be getting this Cape Breton Deaths for today a second time. So in the future, you may not get the obits as fast as before, and may have to wait till later in the day for them to appear.
