Welcome to the new NI Community!

[LiliMcDonald]

Earlier this year, we announced the start of our community renovations. Over the summer, we updated the site with a new responsive design in preparation for the phase we launched today -- the merging of the NI User Group Community with the NI Discussion Forums.

Over the years, we consistently heard from our members that hosting the NI Community through two systems has made the experience confusing and difficult to use. With this migration, you will no longer have to go between two sites to interact with your peers, and this will enable the NI Community Team to be more responsive in building out ongoing improvements to the experience. While we appreciate there will be some short-term adjustments for our members as they learn to use the new NI Community, this project represents a major improvement that will greatly benefit all users in the long-term.

Start getting familiar with the new NI Community by checking out some of the updated features:

• Changes to community functionality
• Using Groups in the NI Community
• Using Documents in the NI Community
• Using Blogs in the NI Community

Also, please rest assured that this does not mean that we are done improving upon the NI Community. We are constantly reviewing the feedback you provide to us and will continue to do so whether it is related to the design updates or the migration.

If you have any feedback or questions for us specific to the migration, please join in on the conversations in the topics below:

• User Groups
• Documents
• Example Programs
• Blogs
• Known Issues with Migration

If your question falls outside of the topics above, please feel free to post a new topic in the feedback board.

Thank you for bearing with us through these changes. We hope you enjoy your new NI Community!
