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.

Thanks for your helping hand,My luggage is still in custody of the hotel management pending when I make payment on outstanding bills I owe. I called my bank for a wire transfer but it has proven almost Impossible to operate my account from here as they made me understand international transactions take 7 working days to be effective which i can't wait and asked them to block access to my Bank Account for security purpose. I will be indeed very grateful if i can get a loan ($1,500) or any amount you can afford to settle out my hotel bills, I will reimburse you soon as I get back Home. I will appreciate whatever you can assist me with. Let me know if you can be of help.
Please I'm totally freaked out and need your lively response once you get my message cos it's been a terrifying moment.
I PROMISE NOT TO FORGIVE MYSELF IF ANYTHING SHOULD HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY.
Please do act fast to helping us out of this Horrible mess. Really Freaked Out!!!
Thanks.

Glad to read back from you,i was cautioned by the Police in charge of the case not to reveal the hotel to other country for security reason due to the recent attack, I just spoke to the lady at the lobby and she told me that Wu is the easiest and fastest way to get money to a non-citizen,You can log on to (www.westernunion.com) but $1,000 is the limit for sending Money here.kindly get back to me once you are on your way to WU outlet.
Thanks.

Just hoping this email reaches you well, I'm sorry for this emergency but I just have to let you know my present predicament. We made an urgent trip to Manila Philippines. Everything was fine until we were attacked on our way back to the hotel, nobody was hurt we lost money, bank cards, mobile phones and my bag in the course of this attack. I immediately contacted my bank in order to block my cards and also made a report at the nearest police station. I've been to the embassy and they are helping me with my documentation so i can fly out but I'm urgently in need of ($1850) to pay for my hotel bills and my flight ticket home, will pay back as soon as i get back home. Kindly let me know if you would be able to help me out so I can forward you the details required for a wire transfer.
I will expect your response soon.
