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.
Spyder maintenance question

So we hear a new stupid thing coming from Spyder dealers every day it seems.
There is no good reason NOT to connect it and do a quick code scan.
Are there any other dealers nearby ??

The BS meter is peaking again. Buds should be used every time work is done by the dealer.

True, if the dealership is too lazy to do a thorough job. Frankly, I am surprised that they would even say this. It would be easier to just lie and say they did hook your Spyder up to BUDS.
It is true that for a lot of maintenance items a Buds hook up is not needed. But like the others above have stated it is good practice to scan the bike to make sure there are on other issues lurking or about to become an issue. Always try and use a dealer that uses smart good safe practices when working on you machine, that's what you pay the big bucks for. Now if you just went there and said change my oil and that is all they did then you got what you asked for, but if you ask for them to do a PM (preventive maintenance) check on the bike they should have hook up Buds.

All comments are correct. When I had a Spyder this dealer had a very good Maintenance supervisor but now I am not impressed. My wife's F3 was in for a PM service and I thought that what they told her about not needing to use the BUDS was BS. There is another dealer about 20 miles away and they will be looking at it in the future.
