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.
Does this look right?

Not the clearest picture. But I agree. Looks pretty obvious that the roller is not positioned correctly on the belt and is not square either. Correct me if I am wrong. But I thought vibration tensioners were supposed to be on the slack (lower portion) of the belt.

Ron this isn't really a belt tensioner, but more of a harmonic dampner, in my opinion. But anyway, it is obvious by the picture that it is not installed or adjusted properly by the way it is scrubbing the belt. Mine has more than 12,000 miles on it and there are no marks on my belt. It is mounted on top of the belt to remove harmonics and proper belt adjustment is still necessary to get the proper tension.
I agree with you Ron but what puzzles me is that the ones mounted on top seem to solve the belt vibration problem, for the most part anyway. Mine exerts approx. 7lbs of down pressure which is miniscule compared to other tensioner applications.

Make sure that you are squaring the tensioner up with the wheel rolling forward. It will go kiddy wampus when the wheel rolls backward. If you got it from Roadster Renovations, did you get the spacer that is sold with it? There should be about 1/8" of roller hanging over each side of the belt when it's on correctly. Pull the panels off and square it up on the belt, with the wheel turning forward.
