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.
Is there a way to suppress forums?

In looking at all the settings available to users of the site, I do not find any way to suppress items that one is not interested in.
My own preference, I always go to "what's new." That skips some of the inactive or slow forums. I can then pick or choose the subjects I want to read.
You can also click on the "forum" operation and that will allow you to pick and choose what you are specifically interested in.
IMO though, more choices are better than fewer choices. You have been on the site long enough that you can navigate the site well, and avoid the stuff you don't want to read anyway. :bowdown:

Then how do you know about new threads?

I click on WHAT'S NEW when I want to see them.
That's what I do also.

Some of those subject lines beg a hilarious response.

We do have some site rules that bar some subjects. For the most part, we try to be a family friendly site.
It seems fairly clear that most members use the 'What's New' searches & listings so they can then pick & choose what they want to read next from there; but do you realise that for anything but the 'top level parent forums' you can use the Forum Tools button (that should be up in the top right corner of each sub-forum Index Screen) to Subscribe (last item in the drop down list?) to an entire forum/section as well as to individual threads?? :dontknow: Don't know if it'll help you any, but it could be worth a shot.....
By subscribing to each individual sub-forum you're interested in, you'll get notifications & listings of any new posts in that section, which might help you narrow down the list of new posts you get to see & so possibly making your choosing process juuust a little easier. Worth a try maybe?? :dontknow:
Over to you! :cheers:
Ps: The comments re the thread Subject lines/thread titles are another reminder of why it's SO IMPORTANT to at least try to either briefly state your question in the title, or at least tell us what you expect to get from the thread! :lecturef_smilie:
After all, those Thread Titles are really the ONLY chance you're going to get to invite people to come on in & have a read; and if you don't get those readers/viewers to come on in & have a look, there's not really all that much of a chance that you'll ever get a helpful answer your question....
. But those thread titles also serve as the major source of keywords for searches, both those coming from within SpyderLovers and also those searches coming via any of the external search engines like goggle or duckduckgo etc. :shocked:. So by making sure your thread title is meaningful & briefly asks your question/states what you expect from the thread, you may not only be helping yourself get a useful response, but you might also be helping someone with the same or a similar question years from now! :thumbup:
