Ciaran Lyons replied to rptrevor's discussion Can MC:TOC be styled?
"I can confirm that this issue is still outstanding - mctoc does not get the inline-style treatment that other elements and ids receive. The surrounding div has inlined styles, but the #mctoc is just a naked div, and so doesn't have any styling…"

I want a Google + button included in the *|MC:SHARE|* merge tag

The *|MC:SHARE|* merge tag is great because you can include so many social networking sites, etc. for sharing and it looks nice and tidy, but it could really do with a button for sharing on Google +. As far as I can tell the Google button just seems to add the campaign to a Google bookmark, which isn't as useful as sharing publicly or with friends. I know I can add a separate merge tag for sharing on Google +, but then it doesn't look very good when the Google + button is separate from the…See More

inline styles and editable images

I'm having a problem with custom template I created.Here's the problem:(1) Editable images have an inline style of "display: block" in their tags in the template.(2) When an image is uploaded through the editor, it erases the inline style (to make sure the inline style was being erased, I put a 3 pixel green border as an inline style. It was gone after uploading an image into the editable image area).(3) Putting an "img {display:block}" between <style> tags either in the header or body…See More

Templates are difficult to edit

I'm new to Mail Chimp. I'm coming from Mad Mimi (and before that aWeber). I signed up because Mail Chimp sign up is native to my Shopify store and my Shortstack app on Facebook. I also thought it might be nice to have more options with templates from one column. It seems like there are some nice features on MailChimp for e-commerce tracking.I have to say though that I'm having doubts about the switch. In creating my first campaign, I'm finding the templates difficult to edit. Sure, it's easy to…See More

"Hurts me too. I'm using Gravity Forms integrated into MailChimp ... Here's my solution: 1) In each form on my site I include a hidden field. Contact Us, Donation, etc. 2) In MailChimp, in the list, I have matching columns - Contact Us,…"

Maintain a segment when viewing a list

I would love it if when I view the list, I could hold a segment for a given period of time. I'm sometimes updating records on a group of people. When I go into an individual record to make the change, then go back to view the list, I have to recreate the segment to get the next record I want to change.For instance, if someone signs up for our VIP email, they are not assigned to our Subscriber Group. So I'll segment our list to be someone who's a member of the VIP email group, but not a member…See More

Bulk delete action missing from a list

We have 4 different campaigns for our emails, when we import our new lists each day we need to remove older subscribers and we usually segment them by the previous list and bulk action delete them. Two of the four lists allow this and two do not, when you segment the ones you want to get rid of do a select visible and select bulk action the only choice is "copy". This is a huge pain as this segment can be 40 to 50+ people that I then have to delete one by one. Does anyone know how I can make…See More
