And.... we're back!

Sorry for the 8 hours time out.
Happy to say the new software has been installed, and all data has been restored.

First apologies fo the blue color, eventually we will go back to RED, but will take some time do to it well color design speaking.

For now focussed on functionalities, and most should be OK.

Some known bugs / features for now that DON'T work yet are
  • Downloads
  • Gallery
  • MP3 player is still the old one (will be testing iOS soon), and might have still hickups in older posts.
  • Lots of links (basically the old beautified SEO friendly links) will not work most likely, looking for a solution to replace them by the new simpler links with post numbers etc. And can be done retroactively, just requires some free time, so bear with me. thx!
(working on both).

So for now please report issues or bugs on the general features and other things you might encounter.

Thanks a lot.

Been 15 years, finally we got a makeover!

cheers johannes

Thanks for the work to update the software!

I do see a bug though: the thread I made about pedal noises (viewtopic.php?t=25232) seems to be a version of days or even weeks ago. Changes I made yesterday when I could still access the forum have all been lost. In the thread listing of the General Nord Forum I see that Nordine made the last post, but when I enter the thread I don't see that post. Is it just me, or do others also see that issue?

Perhaps many more threads are affected as well?

Thanks for noting.

Cheers

Hi, I quite like the new colour scheme! I'm not sure if I've missed it though, I can't see the font size ability anymore?

@Johannes: A big THANK YOU for all your efforts.

Two points:
- I feel as if I would miss the red!
- the Donate link to PayPal doesn‘t seem to work??

Keep going, cheers from Germany

Congrats on the new Forum Version!

Cudos, Johannes! The new forum is great!

As you said, the red will come back - maybe consider a "richer", or darker red, just like the newer Nords :thumbup:
Nord website uses RGB 140 26 17 (P3 color) / 130 0 1 (Adobe RGB)
I'd use light gray for the posts, instead of pink - taking inspiration from Nord's latest color scheme :)

I made a draft of a new banner - you can use it or edit if you like ;)

Thanks all, will look into all the issues raised see if can be fixed.

@martin,awesome logo, what a pro! With your permission will definitively replace it and also thought about the thicker new color.
There is a colours.css file that controls all colors. Maybe I can share it with you as my color knowledge is limited 😅.

Cheers and thanks all, looking forward to finalize it soon!
