• 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.

When you look at products, how much do you base the purchase of the part being plug and play?

I think if you can make something plug and play you would have everyone who is interested in the product buying it. If it is not you are probably eliminating about 60% of your customer base.
 
Since I'm at the bottom-end of the "Skill-Pile"; I prefer Plug & Play...
But since I'm also just stupid enough to think that I can do it; I'll cut into wires, and make all sorts of adventurous things happen! :yikes:
 
Thanks,Mike

Heat Shrink tubing seems to be very expensive for what you get, until now......BANGOODS.COM sells the stuff in one meter lengths for approx.$ 2.00 to $3.00 delivered .....this is the smaller sizes that you would use 4mm to 8mm read the specs carefully because some of it is double shrink but the good stuff is triple shrink with adhesive .....Happy shopping.........Mike :bbq:


Thanks, Mike,

I got a good buy at a local store that was having a big sale. I like the fact that I now have a good selection of different sizes of shrink tube. I still have some from decades ago that a friend gave me ( it's too small for even medium gauges of wire though). I just like the current carring capasity of a soldered joint.

.......I agree on the soldering thing, and I hope people don't think you can just twist wire together and use HEAT SHRINK on it and that it will be fine :gaah:.......Mike :bbq:
