I would also like to request the "Forward to a Friend" button for emails in the 3rd generation editor.  Especially since other email clients (such as Outlook or Gmail), tend to have issues with forwarding Constant Contact emails (i.e. the background color of text boxes overflows, the spacing between content is off, etc).  Being able to have the button (or link) would help immensely in keeping emails looking the way we intend them to look, and is especially helpful in getting those who are less technology literate to share what's been sent to them (Not everyone uses Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites.  But if they're receiving an email, chances are, they can send the email onto their friends if they like the content).   ~ Anna ...

I have two feedback items (based on playing with the 3rd generation editor for a month or so):   One of the specific items that I'd like to give feedback on, is vertical spacing.  I used to be able to use the HTML code to vertically align text to the top, middle, or bottom of a section.  However, now the only way I can try to balance the excess white space is by hitting enter several times (a poor solution that looks terrible on phones).  Could we add in an option to align text vertically to the top, middle or bottom of a box?  That way, it still stays tight in the small space used in mobile, but doesn't look so oddly spaced on a desktop viewing.  Especially useful next to images! My second item is more of a question.  I am not using the 3rd generation's social media option because it's missing some of the options we need (it has Fb, but is missing Flickr and Vimeo, which we like to highlight as well).  Instead, I've made three small images (no more than 40 px wide), that I was hoping would sit next to each other.  In a desktop format they do, but on the mobile preview, they sit on top of each other (which looks a little silly).  Is there a way to try and request certain images stay on the same line (maybe if they're below a certain size, or by adding them in as a specific block, keeping in mind that each of these needs to link somewhere separate, which is why I can't add it in as one image)?  I realize there's not a lot of space on phones, but that's why I made these images fairly small. Trying to list some 'helpful' feedback, that would solve at least some of the pangs of missing the ability to edit HTML on the fly.  ... View more

I just started using the Third Generation Editor today and I miss having a way to quickly look at the HTML code.  For example, I wanted to add in a social button that doesn't currently exist in the 3rd generation (but did in the 2nd gen).  I was trying to figure out what size your other social buttons are, so that I could match mine to what currently exists.  However, without being able to access the HTML, it comes down to guesswork.  Second example, same email: I've got one text box that keeps defaulting to Constantia, even though the design tools should set all the font as Garamond.  Each time I've opened the campaign to make adjustments it defaults back to Constantia (and it's only the one text box).  Being able to view and edit the HTML would be so very helpful. ...

I wish there was an easier way to search for old campaigns other than the button "show more campaigns" at the bottom of the page. If I'm looking for a campaign from a year ago, I might have to scroll through 200 emails before I find what I'm looking for. If they were grouped in pages (as they used to be), I could quickly jump back 10 pages to find items from last year. ... View more

I've got three or four base templates that I use for the bulk of our emails. It's nice to scroll through the previews from past emails to pick the one I want to use when sending out a new email. ... View more
