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.

Tension
On the ground reading is a invalid reading. You should only use the on the ground reading after the tension has been set correctly with the wheel off the ground. If it's an RT the tension is also effected by how much stuff you have loaded in the rear luggage compartments.

Doc, while you are technically correct the problem is that the bike doesn't live in the technically correct world. Our bikes live with their wheels on the ground, so if the readings go up with"stuff" in the saddle bags then it would seem appropriate that you should make your adjustments with the wheel on the ground. If you adjust to specifications for the wheel in the air, while the tire is on the ground then you'll not be over stressing the bearings on either end of the drivetrain. JMO I await those individuals with better mechanical understanding of this than I!!!
