Why Did You Remove Email Option From Social Sharing Feature?

NY2LA

Why did you remove the email option from the Social Sharing feature? I was using it all the time to promote my own photos. It was extremely effective at getting someone to look at all of the photos in a gallery, by showing one particular photo to them that I knew would peak their interest. It worked really well, allowing me to write a personal note above the selected image.

You keep making changes that make things worse for me, and you don't come through with any of the requested features that I need. You constantly really hurt.

I still see the email option when I am logged into my account. It's on the Social tab of the Share popup.

Yes, as Denise pointed out, you'll find it under the "Social" tab. Still there, in all its glory!

Okay. That makes me feel better. I see that it is still there, if you're logged in. If memory serves, I didn't have to be logged in before.

Yes, we did change it so that it's only available for logged in owners. It seemed odd to us that visitors could use this tool, especially since they have no saved address book to pull email addresses from.

I use Firefox and when on any gallery photo click the mail icon in the browser toolbar. There has to be
a mail app installed on PC and it doesn't work for web mail.

Thanks for explaining why you changed it so that the tool is not available to visitors. I am not sure how I feel about that, as they could always type in email addresses. But it doesn't bother me right now.

I tried using it, and it works nicely. But how do I get my middle initial to show up with my name next to my email address, as the sender. I went into Contacts, saw that the middle initial is there. But I couldn't add the middle initial when previewing the email.

I think it's pulling your name from your account credit info. The whole email page needs a refresh, so we'll have to change where it's pulling your name from when we give it some love.
