Card preview page problem...
Mar 19th, 2010, 6:50am
 
Hi,
 
I have noticed that on many of my cards (not all curiously, but enough of them) when you go to the card preview page the information below the card is very spaced out so you have to scroll way down to see the credits and icon options. See here for example.
http://www.greetingcarduniverse.com/-Niece-Will+you+be+my+Bridesmaid-greeting+ca rd-448296?pid=448296&page=1&cid=5062&ref=cb_card_title
 
If I click on another persons card from the selection on the left their card seems to show correctly.  
 
I have tried this by clicking a card from in my store and the same card from the general categories, it seems to follow that THAT card shows spaced in both cases. Likewise there are other cards of mine that are OK from both places. Is this something that an be fixed in a broad sweep as I have too many cards to go through to pick out the offenders.  
Just asking in case it's a quick fix at your end...If it's not C'est La Vie Smiley
Thanks.
Pamela
 
OK Tom solved the problem....see below Smiley

If you go in and edit the verse are there any excessive spaces, hidden characters, or carriage returns at the end of your verse text?  I have noticed this on a good number of cards.
 
This can happen I'ver learned if we cut/paste from a word processor!  
 
What's ODD is your PREVIEW looks fine. Huh

 Huh Do you mean if you click n the link all looks well or are you clicking on anything else, because it still looks the same at my end? embarrassed Strange...

When I said "preview" I should have said the "Card Preview link" (Inside view) above the card on the page you posted.
 
Yes, I do see a LONG card page like you do I think.
 
(I'm a guy ... communication is not one of our admired skills!   embarrassed )

Oh excuses, excuses! Tongue
 
I shall try to go into the verse area later and see if that makes a difference. I may? have cut and paste some of these. Who can remember...I'm female! lips sealed

I scrolled down to the bottom of the verse box and deleted until I reached my text again.
That's it! You are brilliant! Thank you Smiley

If you want to cut and paste text, try using Notepad (Windows) or its equivalent on Mac (Simpletext?). No formatting there so no hidden "garbage" to muck up your spacing. If I already have the text I want to use in a Word document, I cut and paste into Notepad and then cut and paste from there into GCU - no problems.
 
Cheers,
