I just upgraded and the tools in the Design Editor for my eQSL card is not working.

My current card is UGLY.

ALL I want to do is change the text color from white to BLACK.....HELP please!

Yes, it's working !...
I changed your text to black, I let the callsign in black, it's up to you.....

Follow the instructions, RTFM

1st select the item to be positioned or removed, then check the alignment, text font, font size, text color and finally push the position button

All good and thanks so much for your excellent support! Was not clear on that final PUSH the position button. My new card looks just the way I wanted it to do so. Now, back to FT-8 QSOs....

Hi.
I just entered e-QSL, but I have noticed that the text editor for "QSL's" is quite limited.
It does not allow you to change the font size, just align right, left and center, and sometimes it overlaps other texts in the QSL.
My question is the following, even if I upload all my log, can I always change the design of my QSL card in the future?
Thank you very much and greetings.

Yes, you can adjust the font size. To position the qso details, you have to find a place somewhere where there's no other text to overlap....

When you change your eQSL design, it reflects on all your outbox, from the start If someone has your former eQSL, he can download it again to get the current online version

Thanks Guy, I have already solved the problem I had with the editor, to make my QSL card.
Now I am learning to use e-QSL, and after loading my ADIF file, I have observed that many QSOs are marked in RED, well, not being in the log, others match all the data, except the time, or date .
What is usually done in these cases?
Obviously if they are not in the log, I reject them, but if the error is the time? If there is a difference of 2 hours? what is usually done?

Up to a 59mn difference your records (inbox/outbox) will match
2 hours lag ? check your logger for local time instead of UTC

Quote: I have observed that many QSOs are marked in RED

When a qso is flagged in red in your outbox, there's an explanation, wrong grid, mode ....etc

just check between your logger and your eQSL outbox, compare the qth settings...etc

Thanks for the reply Guy.
Yes, indeed, I have checked and in my DX4WIN it generates the time automatically in UTC, therefore, if the time does not match, I must reject and add "wrong time".
The same as any other field that doesn't match, after checking it in my logbook.
Would this be correct?

Yes,

You should reject all that does not match. wrong time, wrong mode, not in my log, you have all the choices
in the reject menu, even a free text window
I also rejects perfect dupes, and there are more and more

Thank you very much again Guy, that is also my way of acting.
What I am looking for and I do not know if it is possible to do, is that there is a filter where only the QSOs that contain errors are shown, so it would be much easier, instead of checking band by band.
Have a nice day
