Just returned home from a 5 day vac 600+ Mile ride in West Virginia great weather no rain on roads that would make a dragon cry. My 19 rt worked like a charm. Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it.

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.

Great roads in West Virginia for sure. We had our M109 meet in Staunton Va the week after father's day. I am also from NC (Apex) and logged in 1430 miles over 6 days. We rode to parts of West Virginia every day.

Make sure your pictures are not too high a resolution and then the file is too big. Spyderlovers will not accept them. Pictures taken in portrait mode or pictures cropped so that they are taller than wide. Will be rotated on their side. So it it is better to take your pictures in landscape mode in the first place. Any pictures, taken by my phone or tablet, I want to upload to Spyderlovers. First I load them into windows paint. Phone pics I reduce to 25% of original. My tablet pics I reduce to half. You will have to determined what's best for your phone. Then I make sure the picture is wider than tall. Save and then load that pic to Spyderlovers.
Share more pics.

Many of us have been caught like this, and it can be frustrating to the poster; so please, let's all be a little understanding and show some tolerance - at least we've got some pics now! 
That said, the Forum software here, just like with many other platforms, uses the TOP LEFT corner of your pics as its 'anchor point', while many/most 'phones & digital cameras in their 'default portrait mode' use the TOP RIGHT (dunno why they couldn't standardise, but then, I ryde a Can-Am & not a Honda, don't I?! :dontknow: ) So if you post up a pic with the anchor point marked in its exif data as being its Top Right, the Forum software flips it 90 degrees to comply with its Top Left anchor point protocol! :gaah:
This is frequently why many Forums &/or slideshow vids on youtube etc either display narrow pics (that've been rotated into landscape mode despite originally having been taken in portrait mode) or they may be reversed (simply mirror imaging them swaps the anchor point to the correct side for the site software, but it can be somewhat confusing to see a Spyder facing left when you are looking at it's right side!! Or for all the pictured text to appear to be written in mirror style!
)
Some (a few? many? :dontknow: ) 'phone/cameras will keep the same picture corner as their anchor point even if you turn them sideways thru 90 degrees to the left, so that by doing that the corner that WAS Top Right will become the Top Left, so that may be one solution for some - just take all the pics you might want to post in landscape mode; but for those that can't/don't, you will probably need to 'pre-rotate' your pics in something like Paint & save the resulting image with a different name in order to re-locate the anchor point into an agree-able spot for the display software; or you can mirror image your pics to achieve the same result.
Personally, I try to use the 'take pics in landscape mode' thing first, and on the odd occasion that doesn't work the way I want it to, I rotate my original image in Paint & then save it with a new name/new LH Top anchor point before uploading to the site; but then, I don't usually post a heap of pics!
Over to you all! :thumbup:
