# Feature Request for Automatic Latest Content

 * We have been using MailPoet 3 for almost a year now and we miss not being able
   to use featured images with our newsletters because of how large the images for
   our posts are above and below the post title in a single column layout. We have
   6 newsletters that go out daily to different employee groups in my school district
   so we rely heavily on the Automatic Latest Content (ALC) module. However this
   module does not work well “style wise” with 2 and 3 column layouts.
 * I have tried to use the ALC module with 2 and 3 column layouts and found the 
   featured image sizes are nicer looking compared to 1 column, but designing this
   kind of layout using the ALC module is messy. I have a couple feature requests
   that can possibly help with this and hope you can find a way to add them to the
   toolset of your great plugin.
 * 1). **Add 2 and 3 column layouts as a toggle-able option for Automatic Latest
   Content module**
 * Featured images automatically size smaller in multi-column layouts (which I know
   many people on your forum love and have been requesting). With the ALC + 2|3 
   columns option, the content can fill the columns automatically, and dividers 
   can be styled and inserted in the right places with no extra dividers stacked
   around (when done manually). Obviously with adding a feature like this you will
   have to make it where people couldn’t use this feature if the module wasn’t already
   sitting in a 1 column spot in the newsletter.
 * 2). **Add a Section Header option to Automatic Latest Content**
 * We have categories of posts displayed in different sections in our newsletter
   and sometimes when our newsletter goes out, there may not be content for one 
   of our categories. Our users see the header for that section, but no content 
   underneath (which is the right result). Wish there was a way to make the header
   for that section not appear if there is no content. It would make our newsletters
   a lot cleaner.
 * Here’s an example of what I’m talking about – [Click for Screenshot](https://www.screencast.com/t/DCIKbze6I7).
 * 3). **Featured Image for Title Only**
 * Under Display Options, if you select Title Only, why are we not allowed to have
   a Featured Image? When you choose Excerpt, the Featured Image option is available**
   and** we have the option to say “none” for not having a featured image. Can you
   give the same option to “Title only”?
 * Thanks for reading my suggestions and hope improvements come to the ALC soon 
   so my team can start using images in our newsletters again.
