• 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.

Avatars are there but gone

For whatever reason 4.0 renamed the files in the avatar directory. My avatar now is customavatars/avatar960_5 but it was customavatars/avatar960_4 so what it did was add a number to the file name and right now we have no way to fix it so your best bet will be load a new one.

The file needs to be no bigger than 150 wide by 250 tall and in a jpg format.
Sorry about that but this was one of those things we didn't see coming. :dontknow:
 
One more thing to put on the list to fix. If you perform a search. The highlite is black on black letters so it blocks out the search word(s). Use to be yellow but needs to be something other than black.
 
What about the signature problem? Doesn't display or if it is it's white on white.
This has turned out to be the biggest problem of all. The dropdown menues are the same way. We're still working on that but if we can't get it right soon I'll be changing to a new style that's already tweaked to work, It will look a little different than this one but everything should work. Stay tuned

I just edited my signature and changed the color to black and now its displays okay.

this is a test of a new avatar . . .
the old one was working just fine, until . . . . who knows what :roflblack:
it was time for a new one anyway.

also switched color of text in signature.

Lamont, you are a very patient man (or a glutton for punishment)

Lamont
These are small hurdles for us to deal with. You have done a great job and we still have the best d@mn Spyder site on the web. Thanks to you and the members. No progress without a little pain, and as you have informed us, the update was needed for security reasons. We can definitely deal with some minor inconveniences.

This too we shall overcome!!

Thanks for all you do!!!
 
Thanks for all the hard work, Lamont. Must be a nightmare trying to get everything to work right. Just checking to see if my avatar shows up okay.

Great job Lamont:thumbup:

But....

Everyone needs to get their avatars reloaded. Its stressing me out having to "read" names on posts. :nopic:
 
Been trying for days to load a new image and no matter what size, it simply wont load. :cus: Have gone all the way to 100 x 100 and still nothing!!! :shocked:
