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.
Random thought for the day

I think my new thing will be to try to be a real happy guy. I'll just walk around being real happy until some jerk says something stupid to me.
Whadda ya mean, 'if only'??
It's Grandad Day here, so I've got the 2 Grandkids for the arvo... 
And despite him being heavily engrossed in watching my old 4WD'ing vids while I checked on the Forum, my 4 y/o Grandson saw that ^ about 30 seconds after you posted it, and his demand was instant!!
So he's busy colouring already, but he is a bit concerned that he can't colour it like MY Spyder, cos my Spyder is a Pearl White RT Ltd with a black seat and chrome wheels, and he's already told me that he just hasta use all the other colours too!!
So I'm not too sure what it's gonna come out like, but it's keeping him occupied and I'm sure the end result will be bright!!
Thanks for the colouring pages!

I can't find the picture at the moment but several years ago, after our son moved to Tennessee. We were visiting him and his family; we went on a picnic at a nearby park.
A river ran through the park and there was a large sign posted near the water's edge.
NO Swimming
Snakes
That sign can be interpreted in a number of different, and funny, ways.

Feeding time when they know vehicles are approaching? If I were hiking or biking I might have to take my chances with the vehicles...

The Myakka River in Florida, place known as "The Deep Hole" ... Look up pictures, plenty of them on the web.
It is in a Florida State Park, but tourists would need special permission to go there. The things that could happen there might be much worse than petting the fuzzy cows in Yellow Stone.

That ^ looks like the salties (crocs) lined up on banks of the Fitzroy River, in Queensland, Oz - the intended site of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics Rowing venue.
They expect lotsa World Rowing Records to be broken at the Brisbane Olympics...

We got saltwater crocs here too, but they mostly stay in the brine water along the edges of where the Everglades meet the ocean waters. The crocs are not very friendly and prefer to stay away from humans. Seen a few, but never in the numbers the gators have. Probably have to go to an alligator farm or hire an airboat with a guide to see any wild ones. Sometimes they get hit by cars on the Key West Highway and the Wildlife Officers take them to the Alligator Farms to recover. The Alligator Farms will usually put them in a special area with high chain-link fence for the tourists to gawk at. The fence is not to keep the crocs in, it is to keep the stupid people out. They slide in the water at the first sound of a boat.

You should not try everything you see on the Internet. Feeding gators is bad. Most wild gators have a natural fear of humans and move away from them. Gators that have been fed do not. They lose the natural fear of humans and begin to associate humans with food, in their primitive brains. the gators that are fed from boats, like in that video, will come to the boats they see in their area. People will not be able to fish or operate recreational watercraft in that area. The gator or gators that have been fed will make that impossible, and eventually they will become aggressive, demanding food. Those gators will probably have to be removed from the public waters. Once they lose the fear of humans they will not be relocated. That only moves the problem to some other lake. The problem gators will be removed by contract gator hunters, and killed. The cute little 2 foot gator you feed marshmallows to today, will eventually become a 12 to 15 foot, half a ton monster that can flip a boat with one swipe of his tail. Feeding gators will make you part of the problem. Some of the news stories you see from Florida about gators eating joggers or old people out for a walk are most likely gators that somebody fed. If the people jogging have a little, bite size dog on a leash, the problem is even worse. the little dog looks just like some of the gators natural food, and the people might attempt to save their pet from the gator. Most of those people do not have the strength or the speed to fight off a large gator. The may be able to outrun the gator because gators are fast only in short distance attacks. They will not continue to pursue an attack for a very long distance.
Not only gators, but don't feed any wild animals. If some nice old woman starts feeding a raccoon that is hanging around the yard, it will not be long before the nice old lady will go outside and there will be 20 or 30 raccoons waiting for lunch.
