• 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.

Am I right in thinking...

Some folks took their garage door opener apart and soldered a push button to the board.
Pulled up the left speaker grill and put the remote in there and mounted the push button.
It was a pretty slick setup which is on my list to do.

I had opened mine up and soldered a remote button in, but either the solder wasn't labeled right or the remote got moisture in it somehow as the circuit border got all corroded and it died...I was going to try something different, but might just redo it with a new remote, proper solder and seal the remote in a plastic bag or something...

That's what I did, except I used a double throw momentary on/off/momentary on switch and connected the wire to two buttons. That way I can open either garage door with it. I used a Clicker brand after market opener. The circuit board is only about 1/10 the volume of the entire opener so all I used was the board. I tossed the housing.

One CAUTION! You MUST enclose the circuit board in a waterproof enclosure. Rain water and wash water does get up into that area of the bike and the board will corrode and go bad. I took an empty toothpaste tube and cut the cap end off and put the board inside it. I sealed the end with liquid electrical tape and stapled it closed.
