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.
Parking Brake Release

My parking brake locked up on my 2017 F3L and the problem was caused by the
back lock nut on the brake rod had backed off allowing the parking brake pawl
to be pulled over center and jamming. I wound up totally removing the brake rod
from the brake pawl and tapped the pawl backwards with a hammer releasing the
over center jammed condition. In hindsight I could have probably just tapped the
pawl with a hammer and accomplished the same thing. Readjusting the brake is a
touchy/feely thing. Tight enough to set any switches and loose enough that park

brake is not dragging. Use blue lock tight on the shaft nuts. Hopes this helps.
