I've found in the years I've been with CC that it takes them forever to never to resolve an issue. Because I also have tons of data with CC and simply don't have the time and energy to switch, I have a workaround. Not ideal but it seems to work. I create my text elsewhere in Notepad or Word and do a copy/paste. It shouldn't have to be this way but sadly it is what it is.   ... View more

In reality, someone who receives an email from an unknown source and possibly considering it to be spam, isn't going to bother to stop and look at that. They're just going to hit Unsubscribe. It's a nice thought but it's not a viable workaround. ... View more

With all due respect, I have a hard time believing that Forward to a Friend was not highly used. Every other platform similar to CC has that. If it wasn't popular, they also would have eliminated it. CC's customers have been begging for it for at least a year. As a business owner, the ongoing requests (begging, actually) should be honored. I am not a software developer but am assured that it would not be a difficult option to add in. If people don't want to use it, it would be their choice. Those of us who want it should have that choice. Again, as a loyal customer. ... View more

Many of us on this thread have been pointing out that we are actually LOSING people without this feature. When people forward our emails to people who are not in our database, it can and is considered SPAM. The result is that we lose people who have subscribed because the person forwarded to UNSUBSCRIBES that person and can report us for SPAM. It would be a positive for Constant Comment to consider their loyal customers by adding this feature back in after all this time. Other services offer it. CC should as well. ... View more

Same response we have been getting. At this point, it is not a solution. ... View more

Having to give our recipients on how to Forward an email is simply ridiculous. Also, there are still at least 50% who read emails on a desktop. I simply fail to understand Constant Contact digging in on this issue instead of simply providing what so of their customers are asking for. It might be a good time to remind CC and everyone that there are many other services - the majority if not all of which do provide the Forward to a Friend. ... View more

Yet another request from one of your customers requesting the Forward to a Friend link. I'm at a loss to understand the continued suggestion that a signup form has anything to do with a Forward to a Friend. Those receiving our emails are already signed up. We need a way to enable those who are already our contacts to forward the email to their friends who will then have the ability to sign up. What is currently happening is actually detrimental to your clients. How? Our contacts are forced to forward the email which includes the name and email address of a current contact. If that person is unhappy with the email, they hit unsubscribe and, what do we get? A unsubscribe. We lose a contact. Who probably don't even know they've been unsubscribed and then are **bleep** off at us - your client. And sometimes they even consider it SPAM. This isn't rocket science and I'm totally at a loss at CC's failure to address this so obvious issue. I believe people have been asking about this since the addition of Editor 3 - which is good otherwise. Please treat your customers as you would like to believe we treat our customers. Please don't cause us to lose customers. Thank you for your consideration. ... View more

I would also like to point out, if others have no already done so, that we actually may be losing subscribers. When a FORWARD TO A FRIEND option is not available, a person may use the Forward tab in the nav bar of their browser. That person doesn't know they received it and they Unsubscribe.    Truly a service would be done for your customers by adding FORWARD TO A FRIEND back in.   Thank you. ... View more

I am also one of many of your customers who what this very important feature. Forward to a Friend is completely different from the other growth tools you mention. While these features are good and important for your customers, Forward to a Friend allows those in our current database to share information with their friends who would then be able to subscribe, etc. I am actually surprised that you don't see that as perfectly obvious. The majority of people receiving our emails are already subscribed. Forward to a Friend is likely the Number One growth tool for your customers and in the best way - by receiving it from a friend. Since it has been available in the past and is readily available just about everywhere else, I am quite sure your developers could easily add this feature back in. Thank you. ... View more
