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 found on my RT that pushing down on the Fronk Hood right in the center over the latch, BEFORE turning the Key unlocks it. Hold the Hood down, turn the Key to the left, and it should unlock. Also, I sprayed some WD40 on the spring and latch. Before I held the Hood down, the Key would not open the latch. Not sure if the F3 has the same set up as my 2016 RT. Tho.

Dave, they may not have answered as there are many threads already posted on this issue that are fairly easy to find through a quick search.

thanks
the latch in the video is quite different from the F3 which uses a vertical pin. I suspect the release method is similar.
I was really looking to find if there was a way to unlatch the latch pin if the electric release using the key did not work. Or if you needed trunk access and had no key.
Was hoping to hear there was a cable hidden somewhere that would release the latch.
There is that feature on some cars and I was hoping to find similar.
So now I can hope it never happens to me

Had that problem when my F3s (D-500 SE) was new. "Factory stuck @ delivery" & didn't realize it until home. Thought something was wrong but eventually it released after numerous attempts. I do recall applying light pressure over the latch area numerous times before it opened. (But not while working the key/ignition.)
Decided I wouldn't be putting anything in the "frunk" that I might want/need for my ride home. (like helmet) Also made me think about the consequences of buying something & having to return it just because I couldn't get it home lol.
