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.
Looking for advice on moving my master cylinder so I can replace the oil filter

There is only 4 screws and a few nylon push pins on the side panel. It is very easy to remove and put back. After a few times doing it, you will be able to do it with your eyes closed.
There is also some other advantages to removing the side panel. You can clearly see in there with the panel removed. If there are any fluid leaks, hoses beginning to crack, or other problems you can spot them, and correct them before they become major problems.

So I was able to get the side panel off. Was easier than I thought. But broke the pushpins. I have new ones on the way. How are they reinserted when I put everything back together?

The holes in the side panel line up with holes along the top brace. They are actually called nylon push rivets rather than push pins. You just stick them in the holes and then push down on the center part which spreads the legs of the lower piece that went through the hole so they don't come back out.
You can usually get them out without damaging them by prying up on just the center button. Get the center button up about 1/4 inch and the whole thing should pull right out by hand. You can pry up on the center button with the small common screwdrivers or dental picks, or anything like that.
Very simple and easy. If you break one or lose one, they are very inexpensive.

Best way to remove it is to take out the screws with your Torx then pull the center body pin out, insert a Phillips screwdriver in the slot which held the pin, pull the other two pins. Then while holding the panel, remove the screw driver & slide the panel forward some & lift.

Rattlebars...That's an excellent tip, using the screwdriver to hold the panel in place while removing the other 2 pins.
The car in your avatar, a Messerschmidt, reminds me of my high school days in the early 50s. A fellow student had a Messerschmidt and four us would carry it off, usually to a landing up some stairs. I never saw him drive off, so I don't know if he rode the stairs or got 3 friends.

To install the service panel, just set it in place, insert the "dial" part in the slot and turn the "dial" to seat. Could not be easier. The two tabs need merely set in place, not inserted into anything.

I was just being metaphorical - I have than down pat. I figgered if he was hesitant about the side panel, he may be having trouble with the service panel.
