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.

not sure just got the bike all i do know is that it works fine until the temp drops to freezing or lower then it locks on
If you check the parking brake mechanism, it is a simple mechanical cog/pawl which releases when the pawl disengages. I'm guessing maybe yours needs lubrication. (A bit of lube solved an opposite problem when mine wouldn't engage.)
If the brake mechanism is working fine, as others have suggested, maybe the cable needs to be lubed.
