Minor Update to Email Sharing Links

Bug Fix
       Kory Gorsky

Before this fix, when a supporter would share a blog post or fundraiser on your website through the "email" share link , it would share a portion of the content of the page. Due to limitations in web-browsers, we would limit the length of this content. In these situations however, the limiting of the length of content would make the content of the email look as if it had been cut-off. This isn't a great experience for someone trying to share your page.

In this update we've made it more obvious that this is an excerpt by using an ellipsis and we now provide a "Read More" link below the excerpt.

Fixes to Fundraising Pages (P2P)

Bug Fix
       Kory Gorsky

In this update we've fixed three issues with fundraising pages surrounding content reporting, deadline dates and animations.

  1. There was an issue where the "Report this Page" link was not showing in certain situations. We've fixed this to keep your fundraising pages safe.
  2. There was an issue with how we showed how many days were left when a deadline was set on a fundraiser. It should now show properly; and
  3. There was an issue where the animations on a fundraiser page were not respecting the setting that turns off animations. So if you'd turned off animations they were still present on the page. This is no longer the case.
