Inappropriate?Hey there. If you login to your account. Go to contacts. Then at the bottom of the page there is a link that says "Import Address Book". Then if you go through that it'll have you login to gmail, it'll pull your contacts, then you click check all, and then next .. and it'll add them all to your contact list. If you do this you may want to Add a tag to your contacts afterwards so that when you have to enter in your invitations you only need to type in the tag instead of everyones e-mail.
If you just have a CSV file that you want to use you can click on "Add New" at the top of the contacts page and enter the entire list there and click Save Contacts .. or after you create a page when you are inviting people you can copy/paste the CSV file in the textbox where you enter e-mail addresses. This box will come up after you've created a page.
I tested these out on our live site and it is all working for me. I have around ~500 contacts and it took around 15 seconds for them to completely save on the contacts page. Hopefully this solves your problem, let us know!

Inappropriate?Also, under "Invite People" there is a link that says "Address Book" and you can click on that and it'll copy your contacts in to the invitation box .. which will in turn create contacts after you Save/Send.

Inappropriate?Thanks. Had to add via csv file and add commas but it worked. GMail import kept freezing up. Not sure why. Maybe Plaxo is down right now. All contacts would show up in the little window and I would click check all and then next and boom, nothing. Dead. Oh well, got it to work the other way. -
Inappropriate?Thanks. One more question. Sorry. Your system automatically put one of those pics from that artist on each of my guests. I know in contacts you can go in and edit each individual contact and click no picture but how do I take them off the actual invite? With that many invitations, the pics make the list take up several scrolls. Know what I mean? I keep searching through all of the edit buttons but I can't find how to turn off the "artist" pics of my friends. I'd prefer just to have a list. Thanks.
-
Inappropriate?it might be a little hidden .. go to your page and click Invite More .. and then there are some check boxes there that you were probably looking for. You can hide all the guests who haven't responded positively .. or hide the guest list .. Just click Save/Send after you've selected your options and it should update the guest list appropriately (it won't send out any invites unless you put e-mail addresses in the invite box)
-
Inappropriate?Glad you got it to work .. what browser / OS are you on? I'd like to try and reproduce your problem so we can get it fixed .. we haven't encountered that problem in our testing :-/
-
Inappropriate?I found the button to hide all guests which is fine. The invite went out about 15 minutes ago and a few people have responded already and those little pics come up where they place comments. I assume if I go in a edit each contact individually and click no picture it will remove them? I'll try that and let you know. Thanks for your help.
-
Inappropriate?OK, that didn't work. If you go into contacts and under the funny little pictures automatically attached click edit, then change photo and then none and then save you get a little red X where the pic was but then it just comes right back. Hmmm. Other than these, I love your invitation capabilities. So much easier than the big boys. This is my first one with you so i'll get past the learning curve and definitely use you in the future. Just help me get rid of those little pictures! Thanks.
-
Inappropriate?alright .. so you can't actually get rid of the pictures in a standard way .. but since we have our CSS completely open you can .. so do this :-)
At the top of the page click "customize first" .. then at the bottom of that box click "Use advanced CSS Editor" .. then in that box put the line below and save and you should be all set:
#comments IMG {display:none; }
.. you can also upload pictures for you contacts if you want .. which then makes the pictures more relevant :) -
Inappropriate?When I go into CSS editor and copy that command it does remove the little pics in comments, however, it also removed by background photo. When I click "go back to custom editing" my background photo comes back but so do the little pics. I'll just put up with them unless you have another idea. Sorry to be such a pain in the ass. You should be able to remove them in comments or say no pics at all. Just a thought.
-
Inappropriate?Thanks for the suggestion .. I'll play around with the custom css some more tomorrow to see if we can get your page where you want.
-
Inappropriate?Have a good night. Just sent you guys a tip. Not much but my show of thanks.
-
Inappropriate?Thanks! :-) anything helps, it's very much appreciated .. and I couldn't help myself but play around with the custom css some more .. it looks like there is a bug, because we used to preserve your background image when you switch to advanced css mode ..
However you can get around that as well if you want. Right click on your page and do View Source and you'll see something in there that looks like this :
#bkgnd {
background: #6BDEDB url(http://s3.amazonaws.com/crusher/bg/0/...) repeat;
}
copy this text and then switch to using the advanced css editor.
Now put in the line from before:
#comments IMG {display:none; }
.. and then replace the one underneath /* BACKGROUND */
with the one copied from out of your page.
hopefully that works :)
.. there is also an upload image link in the advanced css mode, so you could try uploading there and using the link it gives you (however the above steps should work). It appears this part could use a little UI work, I'll make sure the other guys look over this thread. -
Inappropriate?one more time! .. that way you'll lose your background colors and such .. sorry so many posts, I just haven't played around with this feature that much.
So right click on your page in normal css mode. Do view source .. then copy all of this text:
/* START STYLES INHERITED FROM "CUSTOM SETTINGS" */
.
.
css stuff
.
/* END STYLES INHERITED FROM "CUSTOM SETTINGS" */
Then switch to advanced mode. Completely replace everything with the copied text, and then at the top do this:
#comments IMG {display:none; }
alright, that should work! :-)
