I will take some in the morning

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.

It all depends on the make and model of your trailer. I have an Aluma Executive Series trailer and I do not have to do anything to load it. The Executive Series comes with a longer gate which is a Bi-Fold gate and my Spyder RTL runs right up on it with no clearance problems. A buddy of mine has an older trailer that he has issues but instead of using and having to carry 2x6 boards he went to the local RV dealer and bought some of the RV leveling blocks which there are lots of types and styles to choose from, and he backs his truck up on them to lift the rear which in turn will lift the tongue of the trailer decreasing the angle at the rear of the trailer.

Been there, done that. I had a Polaris Slingshot and did that to load, plus a beavertail and taller bumpers on the ramp door.

The ramp is used to soften the transition from ground to ramp as there is a pretty good-sized lip there. The ramp and the transition at the top of the ramp is gentle enough that Spyder clears the edge without any trouble.

We have a 7x10 trailer that we haul everything in. Never have an issue. It has a 4' wire mesh tailgate. But if we did have an issue, I would simply lower the hitch leg and crank it up the front of the trailer while still attached. I've done this with all kinds of trailers It will lift the back of the vehicle with no problem. Thus lowering the rear of the trailer and reducing the approach angle.
finding a suitable locations for the trailer that lowers approach angle is easier. But not always possible. Especially if what you are trying to load is not running.
