This is so cool! Great way to keep track of suppliers as I am browsing!

If you're still accessing the discussion forums from community.noramark.com, you should try the new, better way. Make sure you're logged in, then go to noramark.com and click on the Discussions tab. You'll see "Forums" on the left. These are the same as community.noramark.com but in a new and much better interface. You'll also see "Inbox" on the left. You can use this to send private messages to manufacturers, other people, and even compose group messages to coordinate with others. These same messages can be accessed from any part of the console by clicking the circle with the envelope in it on the bottom right! Let us know what you think!

This weekend, as we gather with friends and family, let’s take a moment to honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice makes everything we build possible. At NORAMARK, we believe in strengthening America from the ground up and that starts with remembering those who stood for it when it mattered most. Wishing you a safe, reflective, and meaningful Memorial Day. — The NORAMARK Team

Wow! This is looking really cool. Love the new discussions tab.

Hi folks, We just rolled out an update with several new features to improve your NORAMARK experience: • Chat The big one. You’ll now see a new messaging feature under the Discussions tab in the Console. This will replace forum-based chats (both are active this week; next week, messaging will move fully to the new system). Group messages, mobile notifications, and other enhancements are on the way. This upgrade is designed to make it easier to connect directly with your network and peers. • Console Navigation The header bar (tabs across the top) now stays visible as you scroll. This makes navigating the Console smoother and more intuitive. • User Profiles You’ll now see icons next to usernames in the Forums: a factory icon for Manufacturer owners, and a building icon for Organization leads. Clicking a name takes you to their full NORAMARK profile, where you can view their company, check their reputation score, and—soon—start a chat directly from their profile. • Recommendations On your Dashboard tab, you’ll find one of our most powerful features: Recommendations. These are updated several times daily and provide personalized guidance to help you get the most out of NORAMARK. Each one includes a “Take Action” button to guide you. For Invite Codes, we even pre-fill the email for you. Keep an eye out here—this is also where our new featured manufacturer videos will appear. This week, we’re focused on improving the sign-up and setup experience. We’re rolling out a new onboarding wizard to make it easier and clearer for new users and manufacturers to get started. Based on your feedback and our data, we saw that people were getting stuck or dropping off during setup. We know you want a seamless onboarding experience for peers you invite, so making this flow as simple and user-friendly as possible is a top priority. Thanks, as always, for being part of the NORAMARK network. We will keep rolling out improvements and new features every day! All the best, Andrew

This keeps getting better and better!

We can’t wait! Super excited, and the app should make it faster and easier to build and grow relationships. Very cool

Jerika at Castle Machine Company found a bug and told me about it so after I fixed it, I created a new badge called "Bug Finder" and awarded it. Anyone who lets us know about an issue on the site will get this esteemed badge! We always want your feedback! https://www.noramark.com/badges/

@robertbeecher I am so happy it worked! thank you for your patience

Hi folks, we did a big release of new software today. We now have Calendars that any tier 1 manufacturer or organization can post to: https://noramark.com/events Over time we'll be adding all of the public events to this calendar as well so if you're curious about trade shows, factory tours, etc. they'll be listed there. Manufacturers and Organizations can even make private events for their members, only. We've added an easy way to see your information in our User Console, located here: https://www.noramark.com/user-console/ (and the big button at the top of noramark.com) View the manufacturers that you own or are a member of View the Organizations that you own or are a member of View the manufacturers that are in your network (Tier 1 or Super Patriot sees full details. Tier 2 can see a count, only) See who's following you or who you are following (nice way to make and manage a list of manufacturers) See if any pending payments are due or referral uploads are required, as well as what your subscription details are Edit your personal user profile Ease of navigation - we got rid of the drop-down for navigation and have a button for forums, a button for User Console, and a button to see your profile, all in the upper right. Should make getting around a lot easier. Simplified Registration - for folks creating manufacturers, we noticed that a lot of you got stuck in the process. So, we re-did it and now it's very simple to go through the sign-up. Payment can be taken directly or the free tier (Tier 3) can be chosen. We don't prompt for referrals in the sign-up process any more, they are provided via the User Console instead. We added a page that explains how NORAMARK works. Manufacturers, Super Patriots, the tiers, the network, the trust scores... how do they all work together? We've laid it all out here: https://www.noramark.com/about-noramark/ If you know someone that might be interested in joining, this page is a great thing to share with them so they can better understand what we're all about. As always, we love to hear your feedback and we're constantly improving and releasing new features. Shoot me a note with your thoughts!

Let's go!
