 * Because i clicked that it didnt work…
 * I installed it and the form appeared, but with some serious styling problems.
   I know for SURE they weren’t coming from my site’s style sheets or other plugins.
   I proved this by taking the embed code and adding my own styling – that worked
   ok.
 * The plugin added over 500px crazy spacing on the top it’s container div ( somehow
   it’s height was being calculated incorrectly and i couldn’t comabt it with css)..
   also the fragments of text in the fone number field should have a span or something
   around them – they don’t so they were impossible to target in relation the the
   form fields for the phone number.
 * the list goes on.

 * Hey venkmanuk,
 * Thanks for posting to the forum. So that I can take a closer look, can you send
   me a link to the site that has the active sign up form on it? This will help 
   me take a closer look to see why that odd space is happening, as well as to try
   and replicate the issues with the phone number field that you’re seeing.
 * I look forward to hearing back!

   with the form and link you up for testing. thanks.

 * Hey hey,
 * Sounds good! It’s tough to say what’s causing that to happen with just the info
   I have right now, but generally this type of issue indicates that there’s an 
   issue or conflict with the plugin’s CSS and the preexisting stylesheet that’s
   being used on the site, so ultimately it’s something that we’d have to look at
   the site’s source code for to try and narrow it down.
 * If you’d like, you can send me a screenshot of how it’s displaying, along with
   the HTML code (so just an the HTML file of the page is fine) to mailchimptk[at]
   gmail.com, and I’d be happy to take a look. That way, you don’t have to send 
   me a live link. But if it’s more convenient, I can just wait on that live link
   to be setup for testing too, whichever works!
