I am trying to complete the design of a Style 4 eQSL card. I uploaded a graphic and then tried to change the font size, colour and location of the text. So far, I have lost my callsign, name, address, and grid information. I am fearful of trying to edit anything else lest I be left with just the uploaded picture of the bird at my feeder.
I appreciate your suggestions as to how I correct my errors. Thanks so much!

Hi Charles,

Did you press the remove item button instead of the position item button perhaps??

That style 4 card design tool has a bit of a learning curve :) For now I have added that data back in for you.

David, I want to thank you for your help in restoring the data on my eQSL card.

The data disappeared when I clicked on the new location for the text box after hitting the 'position' button. However, I had just upgraded both the Safari browser and my Mac OS to the new OS Sierra, so it could be a software gremlin on my end. I was able to successfully edit the eQSL card using a different Mac with an older version of software. All is good.

I appreciate your assistance, and hope that we might QSO somewhere down the line -- I've had my amateur license for all of 24 hours! Now, I have to get all the various pieces of equipment together and erect an antenna, or visit a friend who has an amateur station...

73, Charles
