Re: Help with product notification plz

Are you sending in HTML format?

If yes, have you verified that after someone receives the notification, the URL to the image is correct?

Seems the question is; "Why is the image URL not ending up in the eMail?"

Are you using AOL for your eMail? They have a different way of including URLs within an eMail. Otherwise, the normal URL syntax should work fine.

Not what I meant.

If you are sending out Product Notifications by eMail, then whomever receives the eMail will be reading it on their computer (Outlook, Outlook Express) or using their eMail Service (AOL, Hotmail, gMail, etc.).

Re: Help with product notification plz

Then the last thing to verify is that within your personal ZC account for your site, you have set the following.

Home :: My Account :: Edit Account
Newsletter and eMail Details - HTML (checked)

Home :: My Account :: Product Notifications
Receive notifications on all available products - (checked)

After that, just a matter of trial & error with a few friends to see who receives the image and who doesn't.
