Typo in the "You're rankjing up in the Dropbox Community" email

I'm not sure there's a good section to report this, so I just went to "Apps and Installations". It is about dropboxforum.com itself so, well...

 

The email says:

 

"we hope you?ll continue to be an active"

 

It should use an apostrophe instead of question mark in "you'll". This seems to be an issue with the stored message string, as the email is encoded as UTF-8 and in the email sources the typo also shows a question mark. The cleartext version does use a different message and "you will" instead of "you'll", and as the portion the typo is, is a rich-text HTML block, it could just be replaced with ' ("you'll"). Notice ' was introduced in HTML5 and was not available in HTML4, if backwards compatibility is relevant here.

  • Thanks for the heads up avengerx ! I've updated that email template now so should be fixed for your next rank up 😉

      Confirm! Received another rank-up mail and it reads right. This thread is as good as solved.
