• 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 what's wrong but when I open my Google Docs spread sheet it won't let me edit it. Any ideas?
Irish,

Don't know how to fix the root problem because I'm not an editor of the spreadsheet, but I went to File - Make a Copy... and it created an editable version for me. I tried entering a few values, and it seemed to work as anticipated.

If that doesn't work for you, you can PM me your google identity and I'll either send you the copy I made, or give you editing rights to it, whichever you prefer.

Got it to work the next time I opened it. No idea what the problem was. I need to review your list...my tally shows 1850 to your 1750

My tally doesn't automatically update. A quirk of GoogleDocs' spreadsheet is that it's very difficult to put photos where you need them, so I had to build a Word-style table, but without even the tally ability. I hadn't updated my tally to reflect my submission from yesterday. We're still 25 points apart, as I have five rainbow colors (red, yellow, green, blue, and indigo), but have only 100 points credited.
Thanks! We're snowed again, so I have a little more net time...

Yazz,

Doesn't look like you're running into the frigid weather that Dallas has. Lucky you!

We're snowbound in Ohio, but the temperature's hovering around the mid-30's which is an improvement for us. There's no category for it, but my son informed me that the icicle on the side of our garage reached 54 inches long. Might reach the ground by mid-week...nojoke

I need to ride!:gaah:
