• 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 Am Amazed no one has mentioned the 'New Look' site!

Just came back on after going to church.

Well, I tried to get on site earlier today and got the usual messages that said the site was not working. Came back a couple hours later and we have an entirely new site.

I am very impressed with the new set up. It came as a complete surprise to me and others. I like the NEW look. All of the same functions are still up an running as near as I can determine. The post count shows me that nothing seems to have changed. To those responsible for the upgrade, I say good for you.

Give things a day or two to get rolling, don't be afraid to click on anything "new" to you. Some things have been moved a bit, but they seem all there to be found. In a week or so, we should all have things figured out.

Bottom line, I like the fresh look for 2025 and beyond. (y)
 
I just am seeing it now - it's nice to have it updated. Thank you to whomever did the work to make the changes!
 
It's a different software program similar but not the same as old. Have to meander around to get used to it. It came in phases as I was trying to login. Thought website was hacked at first
 
The site looks awesome just having a problem between the chair and keyboard at the moment ;) I think I will to lookup how to use some of the features

This is why we have the new look. Tony has been working on this for weeks now and just now went live with it. I have another forum that I go to that uses this software and they have it all dialed in and it's much better than our old VB software. Change is hard but we are going to make Spyder forums great again.

The Tactical Option in the preferences gives it a new look.. Kinda black n white.
I dropped the Font Size to small.
6 options with the "like" thingi.

I have not spotted the "quote" button yet.
