So I signed up with DDI yesterday and I thought I would be able to download the full PDF of Dungeon Magazine, but I can't access anything more than I could before I paid for the subscription. Am I doing something wrong?

There is no "magazine" per se, but you should have access to individual articles now. You'll need to contact customer support if you are still being denied access to things.

Ahh, ok. I looked at the "sample" magazine and assumed I would be able to get the same format as a member. Oh well. Thanks for the answer.

They used to compile the issues until like January of 1-2 years ago. Apparently this was the fans' fault.

yeah we "wanted" the magazines to be turned into a mess of seperate articles.

WotC are utterly useless at data analysis. They saw that people were viewing the individual articles as soon as they were available, but not saving them to their computers because those were not the final versions, so downloading them multiple times (i.e. every time they wanted to reference the article, they'd download it again). Then they saw that, once the compiled issues were available, with the final version of those articles, people would only download those once each, because they'd save them to their computers rather than downoading the whole thing again every time they wanted to reference something (because there would usually be no more changes). And they interpreted that as "lots more people are downloading individual articles than compiled issues", when it was entirely an artefact of their own publication and finalisation schedule.
Needless to say, I laughed my ass off when they declared they were using data from the online CB to determine which classes needed more support.
