• 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.

As some may know us, we lived in Bastrop Tx.. The wild fire got a little too close to us and we lost our beloved Spyder with only 10500 miles. she was a good steed and never had any issues. Sill had mods on the workbench just waiting for time to install.. Not only did we loose the spyder, we lost our home and everything in it... Hopefully when we are no longer homeless, we can provide a home to a new spyder in our life. I have really enjoyed all the great info from this site (great job Lamont!) and all the great contributers and friend we have made. Ryde safe ya'll..
 
Dave-so sorry to hear of your loss. No words can help with this much loss. My daughter and future son-in-law live in Elgin and was very concerned with all the fires around them. Again, I am so sorry and hopefully you will be back on your feet soon and Thank God you are safe. Things can be replaced, but your safety and that of your family is far more important. Good luck and keep us posted when you have a new :spyder2: Our thought and prayers are with you and your loved ones.
 
:agree: being a fire survivor myself I know it sucks. You have a crap load of emotions to deal with now and you will have a different mind set from now on (I am living in year 4 of recovery) but rest assured since you are all safe, you are sound. You will have new memories, there will be good times to come, and you will most assuredly ride again. Good luck and stay safe.
 
Dave, "things" can be replaced..................just thankful that you and your family are safe and sound :2thumbs:
 
Dave, so sorry to hear that one of our Spyder Lovers family was so hard hit by the fires. It makes us realize that the fires were much more than an item on the news. They affected many, many people. We're happy you and your family are safe and look forward to hearing about your new :spyder2: when other things are taken care of!
 
It is one thing to read about the fires, and hear the news guy call out a number telling how many homes have been burned, but it really doesn't hit home until one of the "family" is affected. So very sorry to hear of the loss of your Spyder, your home, and your everything. I'm glad you are able to look to the future already. I hope you can start to rebuild soon.
 
I can't imagine what you must be going through. I do know that "things" can be replaced. I'm thankful that's all you loss. If we can help in some way let us know.
