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.

I have a mesh Joe Rocket Phoenix jacket and it does have a waterproof inner liner. That said, I am a new rider and I've been told by very seasoned riders that it is a royal PITA if you hit rain to stop, take jacket off, put/zip liner in and put jacket back on - then reverse when rain clears. I can totally see that. They all say to get a set of Frogg Toggs and if you hit rain you just slip it over your jacket (and pants if you want), then simply take off. It makes sense to me and I'm ordering a set. I'm sure there are many seasoned riders here with similar or very different suggestions. But if you have your heart set on a particular jacket, get it and use the Froggs and don't worry about the liner.

Better to wear rain gear over top
Two other advantages to wearing a rain jacket over the mesh jacket. One, your jacket doesn't get soaked. So when the rain stops and you remove the waterproof layer, you still have a dry jacket to wear. Two, a mesh jacket holds a lot of nice warm air next to your body when you wear a rain jacket over it. This probably isn't an advantage where it gets really hot but in Colorado, a sunny day can get really cold really quick when the clouds come out at higher altitudes.

My mesh jacket is not can-am but I have no problem putting my frog togs over it, gets me thru rain till next chance I wanna remove a layer. Everything breaths fine. The frog togs store great , very little space needed fyi. I also went with the overalls rather than the pants & has been very helpful. I rather put on at a gas stop but have managed under a bridge or overpass.

You can't go wrong with a set of Frogg Toggs. Just remember to get a pair of motorcycle specific Frogg Toggs. They're much more durable and have reflective piping on them.
Not only do they store nicely, they work great as a wind breaker when it's a little chilly. Just put it on over your jacket.
