I use Joy's Tasty Tidbits newsletter and just signed up for the trial of iContact. My only problem is that apparently iContact doesn't support Safari (Mac ISP). When I copy the HTML file into iContact it won't let me modify it because it just opens it up as an HTML file instead of showing the actual preview email. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm pretty computer illiterate so it could just be something very easy!

If it doesn't support Safari, you could try using the Firefox browser. Just go to the Mozilla website (can't remember if it's .com or .org) and download it to give it a try.

I've never actually used iContact and have no idea what it is, but I'm giving advice anyway. :)

Yah it said it supports other ISP, just not mine. Is it free to download Mozilla?

Oh Keith! Thanks! I could just ki... Oh wait, that wouldn't work! :D

It worked, I would have never known, glad I asked here.

One on the cheek will do just fine. That, or money. Or even better, a piece of SA. :thumbup:

I'm glad you got it resolved. I've actually had issues using iContact on my Mac, no matter what the browser. It's frustrating, I've always had to switch over to windows :yuck: :(

Ew! Totally agree! I finally put my postcard invite into Mac Word and what a difference!!! It's so much easier to use. I would hate to have to switch over for something else.

Seriously! I was a HAPPY HAPPY day when they came out with P3 for the Mac and I thought I'd never have to return to Windows again. Sigh, I guess I'll get iContact figured out.

Oh yes, I read it on here and couldn't wait to get home and get it going!

Oh this is sad news. I was thinking about signing up for iContact. Now I think I'll wait and hear how it goes for us Mac users.

I would check with others before you worry too much. If you are using tasty tidbits it may be fine for you. My issue is with trying to edit my newsletter on iContact. I'm curious to hear from other Mac users that have been able to use ALL of its features successfully.

It seems to work fine now that I have Mozilla loaded onto my Mac.
