Yes, it is a wonderful thing to see happening!

As one of the admins on the catalog and inventories team, I can most assuredly
tell everyone that the "Catalog Squad" at BrickLink (those developers assigned
to catalog maintenance and development) are making a lot of progress for not
only the site, but the catalog and inventories team itself. I can't let too
many details out, but there are definitely brighter days ahead for all of us.

of communication.

I didn't get this sent to me. I have my settings set to receive emails from
Bricklink.

Is there somewhere this can be accessed so we can clock the links in it?

I just checked my emails from May 28 and I did NOT receive the Catalog Newsletter.

Hi Russell,

Sorry to "rain on this parade" but how is it something like this stays so well
hidden under the radar?
I've just spent 5 minutes searching all over this platform and cannot for
the life of me find any mention outside of these forum posts of a "catalog news
letter", nor did I receive any communication about the possibility to receive
this news letter.

I would have expected something like this to appear here:
https://www.bricklink.com/messageList.asp?nID=&ID=78&v=c&max=20&mTP=Y
Too logical?

Seems one has to enroll into an e-mail listing to receive it. Wouldn't it
make more sense to just send the newsletter out to every member of this website?
That would even make sense from an HR POV as it might entice lesser / non active
members to return to the platform to do their buying.

This remains up to date my largest pet peeve with this platform and is something
which I've aired in the market place forum as well: this is NOT an intuitive
website. One has to search all over the place for both the simplest of things
as the more technical issues.

One should not need a Forum to find out where things are; IMO it should be possible
for a 5 year old to find the basic functionalities.

OK, rant over and apologies to be negative about something that is clearly a
very positive development.

So, could anyone point out where one would be able to join this newsletter?

I have my settings to accept marketing and newsletters. Never seen the newsletter
yet. Did it just go out to a select few? Just wondering...

Chuckled at the "making the packing dimensions available for contributions was
a huge hit!"
Yeah, no s*t I had been stressing the importance of doing that over and over
since the very first moment IC was announced years ago, glad they finally saw
the light
