<[Brennen]> On the slim chance you actually have a legitimate use for something this close to a spam service, I would advise you to use just about anything else, including your desktop mail client's distribution list facilities. Constant Contact is obnoxious, brain damaged, and fundamentally shitty.

|
* Session time-outs.
|
|
* Templates.
|
|
* "Advanced Editor"
|
|
** A nightmarish stew of ugly, broken, quasi-XML markup intermingled freely with ugly, broken XHTML.
|
|
** Insists on ''validating your XHTML''.
|
|
** Reports errors by ''line number'' for markup that you're editing inside a text area.
|
|
** Silently discards input.
|
|
** *THRASH*
|
|
* Data import blows chunks
|
|
** Slow.
|
|
** Dies randomly.
|
|
** Incorrect numbering on custom fields.

* The documentation is out of date and it was probably lying anyway.
|
|
* "System Notification: Constant Contact "User Community" will be unavailable unti further notice. We apologize for the short notice and any inconvenience this may cause you."
