Sorry...I was out of the office yesterday. I just replied
Well, I PM'd Chadley on Tues, and he PM'd back with a question. I sent 2 different responses to him that day, and one this a.m., but have yet to hear back. Not sure what my next step should be; anyone have any suggestions? TIA

So I realize this thread has been dead for a week now, but I figured I'd rather post here than start a new thread for this. Hopefully the right people see it.

In Gmail, the promo emails sent out have had a small rendering bug since I've first started receiving them around 2 months ago. The promos are usually split into 3 images and due to the way most mail clients format/restrict the email, a small vertical space is added after each of the images. Here's an example from the latest...


v4lpromo_spacing.jpg


I'm a programmer and web developer, so I took care of the hard part and wrote a little script to test for solutions. I found 3 different ways to quickly fix the issue and am fairly sure those without this problem will not be affected. While I can only vouch for Gmail, I wouldn't be surprised if this affected most online mail clients (Hotmail, Live, Yahoo, etc). Also, these changes were only tested with the current V4L promo layout. Only 1 of the following 3 are needed on the promo images:

Add inline style - display: block
HTML:
<img... style="display: block;" />

Add inline style - vertical-align: bottom
HTML:
<img... style="vertical-align: bottom;" />

Set attribute - align: middle
HTML:
<img... align="middle" />

Oh and for those who don't know what the promo codes are, go sign up for the mailing list! :mail:

Had another theme idea today Mariano sir. It's three toed sloth driving a 1930's hot rod into a group of children against the extortion of canada riding on segways throwing bricks at a group of judges using their gavels to smash strawberries into the eye of a one eye alligator....

    Do a V4L Full Moon Sale.. about once a month... that way we can just look up at the moon in the night sky and say... "yup.. i feel a V4L sale coming soon"

    of course the coupon code would be: FULLMOON

    Ok, this is probably a testament to my warped brain, but when I first read this, the image that came to MY mind was not found by looking up :blush:

    Hi ten, yes we know about that and there is not much we can do, it only happens with Gmail.
    Hope in the future we can fix it.

    Cheers!!
