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.
Best Cell phone mount?

IPhone X users beware!
I used the Ram Mount with the rubber retainer, and about halfway into my 2 hour first ride with it, the two upper “arms” somehow depressed the two upper buttons on the phone. But, I didn’t know that, nor did I ever know what happens when those two buttons are simultaneously pressed and held. So, when I received a phone call from 911 asking if everything was OK, I apologized and told them I had not called...must have somewhat dialed accidentally. And, since I had my three sons and brother listed as emergency contacts on the phone, they were receiving SOS texts messages, complete with maps updating my location! I never saw their calls coming in for 20 minutes! So, they were talking to each other, and concluded I was in an ambulance, moving down the road! They had even called hospital ER’s and PD’s! After I got home finally put everything together, I felt like the world’s biggest A-hole mom and sister!
So, moral of the story...if you are abducted with an iPhone X, simultaneously press and hold the two upper buttons on opposite sides of the phone. After so many seconds, 911 and all of your emergency contacts will be notified, and hopefully you’ll be rescued in time! If, however, you’re out for a nice scoot thru the countryside, you do not want ANY PHONE HOLDING DEVICE sending out emergency beacons, crying “wolf!” It is VERY, VERY BAD!!!
