I think Constant Contact is missing a broader issue of its email service. If I send an email out to our contact list that has embedded  links to information in the email and the reader cannot access that information then the potential sale or capture of an interested party is lost. It could be advert blocking software, security scans or spam blocking among others that does not allow the link to be satisfied and a web page rendered. Even if I add the URL ink as the text of a link button, the reader cannot copy and paste the link because the copy of it is the r20 link and will still not work. It is impossible to analyze the specifics requested for every user contact. I myself have received Constant Contact emails from others with "Click Here for more Information" buttons in them and they are totally useless to me as the interested reader because the links will not render, nor can I find out what the real link URL address is.   Your preview test emails do not have the links encoded. Why not just let that version go through as the published email if I as the account owner does not want to count clicks? To me having an "option" that allows the intended information to get through to the reader is more important than knowing the number of clicks a particular email received.  After all, you still have the knowledge of how many contacts and who opened the email.    The fact that other email providers do the same thing as Constant Contact is not a benefit. How about Constant Contact being better than the others by offering this option? You should really consider the importance of getting your users information through to its contacts.   Respectfully, Jim Osborn, account administrator ... View more

Browser and Wi-Fi ad blocking software now blocks the Constant Contact URL link format. A contact reader cannot even see the link on a "click Here" button and if the redirect is blocked they have no information on the web link they need to see. I understand some folks want to count clicks but I am more interested in the reader getting to the intended information. Afterall, a click count is useless if the redirect to the intended webpage is incomplete. I hope this can be fixed. Regards, Jim ... View more

Is there any way to copy an item within section on a website?.  For example, when adding a new item to an events page on a website, the only choice seems to be to add the item event and create it again from scratch or copy paste the text from another event box by box and usually reformatting it.  Much of the text from our events is the same, time, location, agenda, etc.  Being able to copy a previous event item  and then editing just the date and a few other things would be handy. ...
