There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
I need help deciphering torque specifications?!

Newton-meters (Nm) and foot-pounds (ft/lbs) are the metric and imperial measures for torque, which measures the way in which a force turns an object around an axis.
One foot-pound (ft/lb) is equal to 1.356 newton-meters (Nm). To convert newton-meters (Nm) to foot-pounds (ft/lbs) all you need to do is divide your figure (Nm) by 1.356.

First drawing torque range is .5 to 1.5 Nm or 5 to 13 inch pounds
Second drawing torque range is 1.5 to 2 Nm or 13-17 inch pounds
Thank you but after some effort I realize I’m denser than I thought. On the first drawing I’m deducing that the range is from the smaller number 1- 0.5 = 0.5 to the larger number 1+ 0.5 = 1.5Nm and the second part is between 9-4=5 foot pounds to 9+4=13 foot pounds.
If I apply the same formula to the second drawing it would read 0.55-0.15=0.40inch foot pounds to 0.55+0.15=0.70 inch foot pounds but that doesn’t match your reading of 1.5 to 2 inch pounds and between 13 to 17 inch pounds. Where am I making my mistake?
