• 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.

Amazed at difference with a swaybar........

You're excused Pete! :thumbup:

And please excuse me for this, I'm not having a dig at you or anyone about it, rather commenting on the practices here because you mentioned it, effectively throwing it open as a point for discussion - inadvertently likely, but it is sorta interesting & yeah, maybe I'm taking the thread off topic a tad, but still... :shemademe_smilie:

Think on this for a second or two.... If you were having a beer down the pub & shooting the breeze with your mates when someone started repeating everything you had just finished saying before making their response, how long d'ya reckon they'd get away with doing that before someone would poke them in the snoz?? :dontknow:

We generally consider repeating everything someone says before replying as the height of childish rudeness if we do it face to face, but strangely many seem to expect it in a Forum thread... which is, after all, just a printed/displayed conversation made readable/followable by stringing the individual posts together in their posted order in a thread so it's easier to follow... :gaah:

Wouldn't it be 'more polite' just to acknowledge the previous poster by name/username (as you've done in your post above) or at least limit your 'quote' to just the bit necessary for your reply to be clear (especially if it's an epic like mine often are) instead of quoting the whole lot?? :dontknow:

Just a thought & (I think) a point of interest :rolleyes: Hijack over. ;)

It is easier for the reader to apply the correct context and come to the intended understanding if they have the statement repeated above the reply. Not to mention that many times the reply is several posts down from the text being responded to.

I prefer to quote the entire post just out of ease. Unless its really long and contains multiple points. This right here was a pain in #ss to do lol.
Basically its a way to reply to someones comment anf generally they already know what they said anyway. They prob arent going to need to read the entire quote. Def a normal forum practice either way you do it really.
 
Devil's Advocate Question

You are always balancing "comfort" versus "handling"... I honestly think that BRP went more to the comfort side of the equation... and we surprised all of them with our sporty aspirations! :D
The original 2010 RTs were SUPER soft: it did feel as if the bar ends were gonna scrape! :yikes: nojoke

I pay others to wrench on stuff because if I screw it up, i pay for the fix. Since the Spyder has "stability control" programmed into the computer, does the aftermarket sway-bar conflict with what the "stability control" is designed to correct?
