Lost line feeds in Google Contacts
It seems that line feeds have gone missing in the sync with Google Contacts.
I am unsure where the error originates from. When I check Microsoft Live/Hotmail, only the street address is there, but none of the details regarding city, etc.
When finally checking Soocial, it seems that the contact fields have been mixed-up (again), and that City has been moved to the PO box field, etc.
Would it be possible to add some feature to secure that field mapping is done correctly after an initial clean-up? Prehaps a way to "lock" the data (the whole record or particular fields), and only be able to update it from the Soocial interface? I know that this is sort of against the idea of Soocial, but for some connections it would make sense, especially if one could lock particular fields.
I guess the bad actor in this drama is the open format address field of Google's, but I am not sure...

Inappropriate?KMK,
Yes that Google address field does not help. Still would like to investigate. Can you give us a couple of examples of your current contacts that this happened to? -
Inappropriate?Hi Bart,
Thanks for the feedback. I have looked around, and it seems it was only a couple of contacts it had happened to, and I have (unfortunately) already corrected this.
But, I imagine that I have some update to the contact in Gmail, which has caused the removal? Currently, I cannot recreate it. If it happens again, I will mail you at the support address.
A question though - if other (Google) applications are updating or connecting to the Google Contacts, can you still keep track of them? I am currently using the new feature of Google's Picasa, to do facial recognition on my photos. It would be ashame if the link to the contacts where lost. How does this work with Google?

Inappropriate?I have this issue as well since installing the new outlook client. I'm not sure of the 2 are connected. When I add a new address to Google the City, ST and ZIP show up in Soocial's PO box field. The CIty, ST and zip do not appear in Outlook at all. When I export from Google to CSV file the City, ST and zip show up in the PO box field as well. SO possible it's Google's problem. It's hard to imagine that Google have overlooked such a huge issue though.
My fix has been to re-organize them in soocial's fields which fixes the Google export and Outlook blank field issue as well.
Let me know if want specific examples. if you have the ability to follow historical changes to contacts, I can give you names.
I’m confused
