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'm out for the count....

When you post above the screen you will see (from left to right) the remove font, the paste, bold, Italic, underline, font, size, text color, then a smiley face button. Click on it, and you will go to the emojis on the post. As for the thank for the post and like the post, I still see it is there.

Bummer glad you were able to make/start this thread, I've found the quick reply post litte quirky as well & always at the bottom of the page. Using the go advanced is more of a preview post but brings back the old familiar post format. Give it a try if you will please , hate to see you go bud.

Have some patience. I, too, was frustrated and started the thread "what was wrong with the way it was". I learned a lot and got my question answered. Now if I click on Forum and then click on "todays posts" it works almost like what I was use to when I used "whats new". I find emojies are stilll there. Just have to click on the smily face and the usual emojies pop up. I'm slower than most and way too old to shift into a faster speed. But getting to be able to navigate around a little easier each day. Stay with us:cheers:
Hang in there Cupaca, don't go so soon. Hell, if I can do it, anyone can. :yikes:

Gene,
Hang in there; Bro! It's all going to work out just fine... :thumbup:
By the way: which Browser are you using?
I bounce between Edge, Chrome, and IE11...
Chrome works the best.
You just have to believe...

Rest assured, if the upgrade could have been accomplished with zero changes it would have been done that way. The complexity of making all the different browsers, interact and play well sometimes has "concerns". As was already mentioned, without an upgrade, there would be nothing at all here. Most likely your Spyderlovers fix would have been via Facebook, and no doubt that raises the hair on the neck of many.
The site / forum controls are in good hands and while some changes are less popular and forced upon us, not by the person implementing the required changes, the forum software and the company that distributes that software is the root of the changes.
Anthony has been very receptive to smoothing out every pebble in the road he possibly can. I had asked about being able to scroll multiple photos in a topic, he enabled that which we previously did not have. Myself, I am having spellcheck issues on the IPad at this site. He reached out and we tried to resolve it not just for me, but everyone.
Yes, sometimes, stepping back from the keyboard and then reapproaching is a good way to reengage. Certainly no shame in that.
I am confident that with a bit more distance on the learning curve, it will all become easy and with great flow.
I often explain to others, regarding various technical topics outside of Spyders, or maybe in regards to riding features on Mountain Bikes. Adapt, Overcome and Conquer. Same applies here.
Have fun and all the best with it.

And, money and control are the driving forces that fuel the changes. :bowdown:
