The ‘download the card’ link doesn’t work.

Hi, apologies that you are having issues with this. I have checked in both Internet Explorer and Google Chrome, and the link seems to work for me. Once you click on the link, this should appear as a download file – depending on your browser settings, this might display a ‘pop up blocked’? If this still isn’t working for you, let me know and I can send a copy to you by email.

This does not work on a Mac OS X device, nor does it work on mobile devices. It downloads some sort of Outlook file for the Windows version of Outlook which cannot be opened. Can we have a version that is not system dependant and will work on all devices?

The Christmas e-card can be viewed online here and then copy and pasted for use with any OS and email client. Click below ‘Season’s Greetings’ to add your personal message. This may also work for tablets, unfortunately at this time we don’t have an e-card available specifically for mobile devices. Apologies for any inconvenience and thank you for your messages, we’re looking at provision for next year’s e-card in light of the issues raised.

Mike,
On Firefox on my Mac (10.11.1) this link leads to a download window, fromn where you can download a ‘.msg’ file, which I think is a Microsoft proprietary file format. This downloads fine, but then the OS asks which app should be used to open it. Having at that point not even seen an image of a Xmas card, I’m wary of selecting any program; I guess Thunderbird would open it? I was expecting to see an image file, not this. My Mac is a Microsoft-free zone, BTW! Any ideas?

…additional: In fact, Thunderbird is greyed out and won’t open this; TextEdit opens it as a junk text file. – GG
