Welcome to 2018! We’re starting the new year out on a positive note by rolling out a new design and structure in the Marketing Nation Community with the goal of helping you be more successful with Marketo, more quickly. The new design and structure was reviewed and vetted by many Community members and we truly appreciated all their valuable feedback.

Starting next new week, you will see:

  1. A new home page experience – When you land on the home page, you’ll see a news feed of what’s new and exciting in the Marketing Nation Community. For those of you who have been part of Marketing Nation for several years, it will be like going back to the good ‘ol days. The Marketo banner has also been removed so you have immediate access to what you really care about, the exciting and helpful conversations happening among your fellow Community members.
  2. One place for discussions – You asked and we answered. No more decisions about where to look for answers to your questions. Product Discussions and Marketing Discussions have been merged into a single place to access the genius of your fellow marketers, simply called Discussions.
  3. A new Blog space – Read about best practices, tips and tricks, and more from peers, experts, and Marketo employees…all in one spot.
  4. An area for Release Info – Want to learn about what’s in the latest, greatest Marketo release? Look no further than our new Release Info space. 
  5. Mobile friendly – Guess what? The Marketing Nation is now mobile friendly so you can take it on the go with you. The genius of your peers is always at your fingertips.

I’m excited to roll out these changes to Marketing Nation. As always, if you have any additional ideas or feedback, please feel free to let me know.

You can expect the Marketing Nation Community to keep getting better and better throughout 2018!

Sanford Whiteman​, looks like Jive may have fixed the bug. My read notifications are staying read this morning. What about you?

This is really frustrating because it's causing us to miss helping people.  Amateurish of Jive to not consider this P1 since posts effectively disappear.

I can't find the product documents section anymore.  This link isn't working Guided Landing Page Templates - Marketo Docs - Product Documentation

Kerry Production Cowell​, the link you referenced is working for me. When you click on the link you should see a light box letting you know you're leaving Community. You will need to click the link in the light box to get to the Product Doc. I have also added a Helpful Links box to the home page on the right side that included a link to Product Docs. Hope that helps!

Thanks, Janet

Janet Dulsky​ - I uncovered another bug this morning.  One of the benefits of the discussions area is for "buried" discussions to resurface to the top of the list any time there is new activity so that the community members can see which discussions are active.  I just noticed today that when comments are made to an existing discussion thread, the original discussion doesn't reflect that timestamp and therefore doesn't rise to the top accordingly.  Here's an example:

At 8:32am ET, I provided comments to this discussion: GDPR- Report on How you can ensure company-wide data compliance standards (including GDPR legislatio...

Yet, in the list of current/active discussions, the "latest activity" timestamp reflects the date/time the original post was made (6:33am):

And therefore, my comment/reply to this post is not resurfacing this to the top of the discussions.
