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.
Drive belt slipping off on reversing

How close to the inside edge is the belt running while going forward. It should be about the distance of the thickness of a hacksaw blade. Your alignment might need checking again. Also how many miles on the rear end bearings?

Could this have happened about the same time you installed the extra belt tensioner? If they aren't pretty exactly parallel to the belt, they can "steer" the belt one way or the other. Quick check would be to tie back the tensioner off the belt and see if there is any change in your problem. Check both forward and reverse without the tensioner and see if your alignment changes. You might also want to check that the bolt on your front sprocket is fully torqued to spec. Otherwise, an inspection on your rear wheel mechanics such as axle, bearing, etc. If it's not the tensioner, then something is shifting / moving a little when in reverse. It is normal for the belt alignment to change some between forward and reverse, but usually not as much as you have.
