New Forum Software Upgrade

Dear all:

it has been way to long, but finaally we will move to a new forum software and backend, based on the latest phpBB software written from scratch.
Therefore FRIDAY 26th 2024, the forum will be offline starting 8am CET, and we hope to be back up the evening.

Once up, please feel free to post here issues or bugs you encounter.
(We are aware the gallery, download sections, and portal parts are not yet functioning correctly. All data has been saved and backed up, will just require some time to fix the issues (hopefully).).

But if you have issues with the normal forum running, please reply here!

While some new features will be added (e.g., a dark mode, a new mobile friendly design etc.), a few features will be lost in the upgrade, notably:
- The Buy&Sell section ==> in case you want to keep those, please post them exceptionally in a topic here.
- Tapatalk support ==> as it has become increasingly annoying IMHO; and the new version supports a nice mobile mode, we will not reinstall support for that.


Cheers
Johannes

Thanks to Johannes and all the other great people who keep this valuable forum running! I tell people NUF is a big part of the Nord ownership experience :)

Thanks everybody!

Hello!

I would like to place a pebble on the scales to preserve The Buy&Sell section.

I'll explain.
I've been following for a number of years (and so I understand your view) that the section is not as lively as the posts here or other bazaar sites.

But The Buy&Sell section here provides easy direct contact mainly for owners and fans of Nord instruments.

I wasn't looking for it, but this way I got my hands on one model from the discontinued Nord line of instruments and I'm very happy about it.
Thank you for it.

Most of all, thank you Johannes and entire team for running NUF, a platform for this unique community.

Ditto. Thank you for your hard work. This is certainly one of the best places on the Internet for me.

Hi,

Hello!

It is clear to me that it is a laborious section with little use.

I wanted to start a discussion with my example to get more opinions.

take care

Thanks, Johannes!

I have been a member here since 2011. It is without a doubt one of the most informative, productive, and collaborative places on today's Internet.

Thank you very much, Johannes!

This forum is definitely one of my first and frequent stops when I'm digressing from reality...which I suppose music is an important part of my reality...so it's just a great place to be.

Best of luck with the upgrade!

Hi Johannes,

cool - I'm very thankful that you take care of this forum. Hopefully with the new version mp3 files can be played on iOS devices.

Cheers
