Dear ConstantContact "leadership."
So you are "retiring" 2GE copying Oct. 1, eh? I would contend that your customers would all be better off if YOU were the ones who would "retire."
Your arbitrary decision to eliminate the ability to copy Gen 2 emails is terrible. You can justify it all you want (better for mobile, blah, blah, blah), but some of us aren't concerned about that. We have years invested in our current email styles and templates, including customized HTML that already works fine on mobile devices, but now you expect us to rebuild all of those emails for no reason? All you have done is created a huge amount of unnecessary work for your customers.
In addition, you have given us a whopping ONE MONTH to shift to Gen 3?! It shouldn't happen at all but, seriously, ONE MONTH?! Have you ever actually talked with someone who runs a small business? That's not even remotely enough time for such a big change. UNACCEPTABLE.
By the way, I have tried Gen 3 and it SUCKS. In particular, the inability to edit the HTML is a HUGE FAIL. I previously tried replicating my current emails in Gen 3 and it is NOT POSSIBLE without HTML editing capabilities. As usual, you have made the product worse for the same $$$ (although I am sure we will soon see a price increase for the "upgrade" to Gen 3.) No one asked for this. Please consider your terrible, arrogant, ignorant decision.
Of course, I am sure I am wasting my breath. The same thing happened a year or so ago when you arbitrarily took away the old photo editor -- also on short notice -- causing all kinds of headaches and extra work for your customers. You obviously don't gave a **bleep** about us as long as we keep paying your monthly fees. That's why I am Googling "ConstantContact alternatives" as we speak:
