With public forums, you can offer a public space to your users to discuss common issues and get feedback, while still keeping certain categories private (billing, orders, etc). Power users can subscribe to categories and new discussions, and help out other customers. </p> </div> <div class="medium-4 columns"> <a href="/images/tour-forums.png" title="Public Forums" class="benefit-full show-for-medium-up"> <img alt="" src="" data-srcset="/images/tour-forums-thumb.png 1x" class="lazyload thumb" /> </a> </div> </div> <div class="row benefit"> <div class="medium-4 columns"> <a href="/images/index-email.png" title="Reply on the Go" class="benefit-full show-for-medium-up"> <img alt="" src="" data-srcset="/images/index-email-thumb.png 1x" class="lazyload thumb" /> </a> </div> <div class="medium-8 columns"> <h2>Reply on the Go</h2> <p> Stay connected to your customers while you're out. Tender integrates seamlessly with email. You will receive notifications of all new messages, replies and can update discussions on the go by replying normally to emails.
