I'm a web design professional a 47 years experience. I use constant contact a few times a week. I am in an area with slow data speeds and I would like you to consider those of us who are for your user experience in your web design. Your landing page after login as well as logging in take a couple of minutes each and as I watch the information go by in the lower left corner of my screen I see it waiting on your cloud service, something called rlimatrix, Google analytics, and other things where you've not only loaded up so much data mining software that it's slowing your page way down but you're also loading so many graphics and other junk on the login landing page it just takes forever. Please put all that marketing stuff in a separate tab so it doesn't slow the loading of our dashboard page so we can get right to work. Sometimes as recently as yesterday it even loaded just all of your marketing pitches at the top of the screen and said we're sorry we can't upload your email campaigns right now.
Next item, is your bulleted lists. If you're using a bulleted list in a narrow column, you have your bullets and dented so far that we can only fit one or two words after it all the way down the column and it just looks very bad as far as layout. To be correct, your <ul><li> should first be set flush left with the column. Right now you have indented them in at least a couple of em spaces, or what looks like about a quarter of an inch on the screen. That is not only bad lad it's just not correct sentence structure. Now the second set of bulleted lists, for example if you had one bulleted list underneath another one, that one would be invented further. But not the first one. Please start your bulleted list up against the left side of the screen so the bullets are resting right on the left even with the text above it.
Ability to remove indenting on bullets
Hi everyone,
Thank you for your feedback regarding the email editor's formatting tools! We completely understand that the default indentation on our native bulleted lists can take up valuable real estate, especially when you are working inside a narrow column layout.
While giving users the ability to manually adjust or remove the padding on the native bullet tool remains Acknowledged and under consideration by our editor design team, there is a very easy workaround you can use right now to achieve perfectly flush-left bullets!
The Workaround: Use "Faux" Bullets The forced indentation only happens when you use the "Bulleted List" button in the toolbar (because it applies standard HTML list padding). To completely bypass this and keep your bullets perfectly aligned with your standard paragraphs, simply use a keyboard shortcut to type a bullet character directly into your normal text block!
Place your cursor at the start of your sentence, making sure the text is aligned all the way to the left.
Insert a bullet point character using your keyboard:
Windows: Hold the
Altkey and type0149on your number pad.Mac: Press
Option + 8. (You can also use an emoji, a dash, or copy/paste a unique symbol!)
Hit the spacebar once, and type your text.
Because you are using standard text rather than the native list tool, your bullets will sit completely flush with the left margin, giving you back all that space in your narrow columns!
We are keeping this idea tracked and Acknowledged so our product teams can continue to gauge the demand for advanced indent controls in future editor updates. Thank you again for helping us improve the platform!
