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.

Bummer...
Must have started going sideways...happens when one gets to where sides are chosen. It would never happen if you poll seats, windsheilds, gas, tires or oil but get way off topic and opinions flare...����
If it is the poll one you posted that one is still up...

Well, since you are talking about Australian accents - - - -
My first 'corporate' job was at General Dynamics/Ft. Worth. They make the F-16.
I hired in Oct. 1981.
Not long after starting at GD/FW, I met a guy with a strong 'English' type accent. Remember, I am a Texan and I could tell the difference between English, French, Chinese, accents back then. But, not different "English" accents. (Texan ain't English)
I asked him if he was from England. He said no, he was born and raised in near Marfa, Texas.
I was confused. How could he be from Texas and sound like that?!?!?!?!
So, I asked him what was his accent.
He said 'Australian.'
More confused - - -
So, I asked another question: 'How did a guy from Texas get an Australian accent?'
He said his parents owned a large sheep station back in Australia. They decided to move it to the US before he was born.
No only did they move their 'sheep station' to the US, but they moved all of their 'sheep' hands (cow hands??), too.
The sheep station was a long way from town (Marfa). He said he never heard anyone speak, other than folks with an Australian accent, except when his family went to town once a month. Hence, the Texas Australian accent!!
:shocked:
