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.

Lost Connection
I tried them. While it was nice to see the pressure, I kept getting "lost connection" messages during the ride. It happened so often that it became annoying...very annoying. I tried new batteries, I tried each sensor on the different tires, and I would still get the error messages. When you get the message, you have to clear it. I suggested to Garmin that they need to allow the end user to disable the lost connection message and/or make the message auto-clear.
That was my experience. Your mileage may vary.

Tire sensors
I have the sensors on my Harley. I don't have them on the Spyder since you can't set up 2 sets. I never have connection problems. The lost connection message will shrink at the top after a bit. I figure a blowout on a 2 wheel bike without steering assist is more catastrophic than on the Spyder. Only connection issue I had was when the GPS was on the Spyder and a buddy was riding my a Harley. The GPS would actually pick up the sensors periodically with him behind me. If I get rid of the Harley, I will move them, and add one, to the Spyder. I like knowing my tire pressure.
