• 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.

Very new to site and dont want to make any dumb mistakes. Where do I post a question I have?

Hi maplefx, welcome to the Forum. :thumbup:

Check out the post from SpyderBOT immediately above yours - those links take you to some very helpful reading, but the last line is the one that clarifies the 'when' about questions - you'll be able to post questions elsewhere once your joining processing is complete & your account is fully approved. Your username will turn Blue when that happens, shouldn't be too long - rarely takes much longer than a day! :ohyea:

As to the 'Where', that'll be out on the more frequented public pages of the Forum. You need to look at the various sub-forum headers and find the one that best suits your question (btw, the 'Howto: Headers are for descriptive 'How to Do *something*' DIY guides, so they pretty much all go in the DIY sub-forum and SHOW people 'How To Do *something* ;) )


Before starting any new thread/asking a question, it's a really good idea to do a Search FIRST - there's not too much in the way of questions about Spyders that haven't already been covered in the 15+ years or so the Forum's been here, so do a Search & have a read first, at worst it might not fully answer your question, but I expect it'll help you tailor your question a little better. ;) And it'll likely show you which is the appropriate sub-forum for that sort of question too!! So open that sub-forum and only then click on the Red '+ post new thread button' :ohyea:

Once you've opened that page, you always need to try to briefly state your question in the thread title, or at least state what you expect from the thread - it helps people know what you're on about AND it helps anyone searching later! :thumbup:

And now that you've put up your first post, you can always PM me or any other Moderator (our usernames are green - look at mine to the left of this post.) via the Notifications link & inbox up toward the top right of the page, or via the 'send Private Message under our Usernames to the left of our posts! :yes:

Looking forwards to seeing you out on the public pages soon! :thumbup:
