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 won't release
take the nut off the lever on the rear caliper, remove lever and reinstall nut on bolt. Should now be free and you can go about your business. Carry a couple of blocks with you to chock your rear tire when you stop to keep it in place till the dealer gets it fixed.

Parking Brake Issue/Fault
On my own 2012 Spyder RT-SE5, a message popped up on the display simply reading, Parking Brake Fault. There was a drag on the rear wheel, because the brake hadn't released the wheel. In my case, I was at a loss, but turned off the ignition, then turned it back on. The brake had released, but the parking brake itself could not be set. The parking brake cable had snapped and it needed a new cable, cable pulley, rotor, and brake pads. I wish you a less costly repair if it comes down to that. The owner's manual states when troubleshooting, to check the brake sensor itself and also fuse #4.

Adjust your windshield. If that works the fuse is OK. Your owners manual has all the fuses listed.

Not sure if your year byke is included, but I know there is a recall for the parking brake on my 2014 RT Limited. That might be a reason for the issue you are having.
