Welcome to the new nikondigital.org forums!

Welcome to our updated forums. We've replaced our standalone forum software (in place since 2000!) with forums tightly integrated with the Drupal content management system we have been using for the main website for the last 2-1/2 years.

The benefits of this include a single login for all users to the website (for comments and posts) and the forums (for posts and replies). In addition, your login can be connected to your Facebook account (or in fact you can login with your Facebook account), and you can "Like" or Google "Plus 1" articles and posts.

Search is also integrated, so you can search forum posts and website articles with a single query. The new platform is also much better supported and will enable us to add additional features going forward. From our perspective it is one less code base to license and support (the site is and always will be free, and we get limited cost recovery from our sponsor and shopping links, so we're always looking to keep expenses under control).

Transistion issues:

• The forums aren't as quick as I'd like, so we'll be working on performance.
• You should have received a new password, which you can change. Or you can use the reset password option, or just start a new account, or use your Facebook account.
• Drupal doesn't seem to notice that a thread is active if the only posts recently have been replies, so some active threads have floated down in the topic lists. If you let me know I can fix those one at a time, or feel free to start a new thread (or if you post to the thread once you find it, it should come back to the top)
• Private message and other account info is consolidated in a section that appears on the  top right of the web page once you've logged in.
• Please do post in this thread with issues or comments, or use the contact form to get to us. There are lots of possible enhancements we can look at providing, so the key is which ones will be useful to our loyal members!
