• 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.

What is BUDS2?

In a casual conversation the other day about the BUD's system, the term BUDS2 was mentioned. Is this a later or older update?
 
The early Spyders used BUDS as their diagnostic/management program; my understanding is that somewhere around 2017/2018 (anyone got a better date/model change??) the diagnostic/maintenance system needed more, so BUDS2 came out and is necessary to properly manage Spders/Rykers from that date/model on; but (again, still only my understanding of it) the older machines can still use BUDS! :thumbup:
 
Spyders 2008 thru 2016 use BUDS
Spyders 2016 thru current use BUDS2 (yes there is overlap on 2016 either will work)
