So I just find Acymailing 6 completely unusable ... it's like it is stll barely in Beta, but have now migrated my newsletter lists over to it and so am stuck with it.
Has anyone else figured out or come across these problems:
- If I try and have a combination of articles and text in the newsletter, then Acymailing 6 'reformats' the article into the Acymailing 6 style (it does this for every paragraph) which compresses all of the spaces I have between paragraphs in my articles making the newseltter completely unreadable, so I have to copy and format and recreate every article as a text newsletter. Completely unproductive.
- Compounding the above, when you are working on a text article (eg. to tidy up formatting, I have to go into the code editor, cut and paste the text, and then I have to manually reinsert all paragraphs) every time I hit enter twice to create a break between paragraphs it takes me to the bottom of the newsletter, so I then have to scroll back up to where I was and add the next paragraph - repeat.
- the toolbar will only appear if you scroll to the the top of an article block if the article doesn't fit into a single screen. This means, for example, if you want to change the formatting on a paragraph, the only way to do it is in the code editor.
- It doesn't show the captions you add to images
- You still can't add unordered lists, except in the code editor
- Just to top it all off, after spending an hour doing something which should have taken 5 minutes, I went to move an image above an article, but couldn't do this because the article wouldn't scroll up, and now the it has created this mini image (which shows up as a blank line in the editor) and which I can't delete without editing the block's HTML which is outside my skill set.
I think the come I want to delete is:

ROGAINING TASMANIA</h3>
Really software with this many issues should still be in Beta.
I have tried dong this on two different computers and with both Chrome and Firefox.
