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.
Which is more economical?

Gotta depend on how you ride yours!! 
They are technically the same gearbox, only the semi-auto has an auto shifter stuck on the top of the manual box, so it's not quite the same as a car auto box with a torque converter vs a manual box with a clutch & pressure plate - but today, even those can have either returning the better fuel economy depending how well the nut on the steering works!! :thumbup:

There shouldn't be any difference at all... nojoke
The difference between "SE, and SM" operation relate to how the clutches engage; that's about it.

Your choice....
which do you prefer..?? But aside from fuel economy the semi auto, have more parts and controls involved, has more that can go wrong and limits your control of shifting somewhat. If you like the elimination of the clutch lever and the ease of push paddle shifting then go for it. Fuel economy will be minimal at best between them....:thumbup: don't even know the cost difference at time of purchase...I am a manual type and never even asked...

I found virtually no difference between my 2008 Manual and the 2009 SE. Thereafter, I went to SE on all future :spyder2::ani29:
