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.
Cool! Google Earth caught my Spyder!

Some tips for those saying the image they see is years old.
Do not use Google Maps and turn on Satellite view. Google Maps does not update it's sat imagery as often as Google Earth does especially if there have been no road changes in your area. Install Google Earth and make sure it is updated.
Also maybe try updating to Google Earth Pro. It is free now to upgrade!
When you open Google earth go to the VIEW menu and select "Historical Imagery". You will now have a slider at the top you can skip forward and back to see different dates in time. Well that is if the sat imaged that location more than once.
If your image is still old, then the sat has not been over your house in a while

The high res images close to the ground are not done by satellite. That is a common misconception. They are done by aircraft.
Here is the image of my street.
I guess my neighborhood is not important enough to pay someone with a plane to fly over.
They do send the car around regularly to updated the street view on my street. The last time I checked before today, my garage door was open and you could see my Spyder parked inside. But when I checked today it has has been updated again and the garage doors are closed.
