• 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.

Check out this Heat shrink tubing for DIY'ers!

Plastic melts at a lower temperature than solder so what you witnessed is normal. When I use this type of connection I first strip the wires the proper length so when the wire is inserted it just clears the solder ring. Never twist the two wires before inserting them in his way the stranded wire can intermingle and you get a better connection. Also, continue to hold your the newly soldered wires until the whole thing cools down. If you aren’t careful about that you could get some really interesting shapes in the shrink wrap.
