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.

I've had great dealings with Progressive. When thy totaled my 2008 Spyder out last year I got within $1,000 of what I paid for my Spyder 5 years ago. Other car accidents, etc they've been great.
I'm personally very happy with the actions of their CEO. Afterall, their name is Progressive....
Glad to see that you're back! :2thumbs:

For crying out loud, the fact that a dude that owns a ton of Progressive stock and isn't really involved in the actual running of the company much anymore donates his money to causes that don't meet your approval does not have anything to do with Progressive as an insurance company. The company itself has nothing to do with how one fruitcake spends his money. From what Snopes says, it seems the guy really, REALLY likes his weed, and appears to want to invest in weed's future, lol!
Now, if you boycott Progressive for fear that one cent of your money may end up in the dude's bank account... well, if it bothers you that badly, go ahead and boycott. But it isn't the insurance company itself that is doing anything... err, depending on your political views... wrong.

I did not know this but will stay out of the politics here and let each decide.
Setting that aside, Progressive did treat me very well when I hit a deer with my motorcycle four years ago. I was new to Progressive (they quoted about 1/2 the policy cost of insurer of my other motorcycle) and, when I had the accident, the motorcycle (and my Progressive policy) was a week old. I later transferred the other bike to this policy - and the Spyder is now there too. Cannot say the same about the way Geico handled the claim when a young lady hit my car which my son was driving.

Love his stance on weed too....
But you are correct in that he has nothing to do with the operations of Progressive. He took the company over totally in 1965 when they only had like 100 employees..... and grew the company to become the #3 car insurer in the USA. Can't fault the guy for being successful.
I'll be shopping mine around soon just to see what's up in the market, but Progressive was 1/2 the price of State Farm on my first Spyder. New Spyder is pretty expensive to insure.
