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.

:shocked: :roflblack: Probably right, too!!
Buuut, from my Clock Collecting wife, this is the 'more proppa' version! :thumbup:
Grandfather clocks were originally known as 'Longcase' clocks until the song 'My Grandfather's Clock' became popular after it was written in the late 1870's & are pretty much any pendulum clock with a 10" dial & chimes that is over 6'3" tall. There are also 'Grandmother' clocks, they are much the same, just smaller & quieter, generally less than 6' tall, and 'Grandaughter' clocks that are usually similar to Grandmother clocks but of of cheaper construction & under 5'3" tall.....
