• 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!

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.
Good move. And Great Logo!

For me it's a rough adjustment. I'm on day two with this new format. It is going to take a few more days to learn the new flow.
Change is inevitable.
 
Dark mode?? Can it be changed to be darker?
If you're still on the 'white & blue' page, look down in the bottom left-hand corner & find the little paintbrush with 'Default style' alongside it. Click there; then head right, across the page, until you find 'Tactical'; click on that, and you'll change the screen to a lovely black with lotsa orange & some other appalling colour highlights! :o

I tried it, but I hadta change back when my eyeballs started bleeding so much that I couldn't see the screen!! Personally, I think the 'white & blue' Default is the lesser of two weevils! :cautious:

Different strokes for different folks. The dark background, white text is better for these old eyes. Thank you for giving us the option. The white background was washing the lighter text out for me. Glide-on>>>>>>>>>>

It's a good looking format, but I miss the ability to click an icon and go to the "first unread post" in a thread.
