• 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.

Windows 8

Working in IT I see tablets all of the time. I have an iPad myself. The only thing I think they are good for is watching movies on the airplane and looking at basic thinks like Adobe Files or EBooks, and maybe some games. Nothing more.
Have an Ipad myself, and I have to agree. But the new hybird tablets/laptops do alot more then that! Plus the Android tablets are a bit more upgradable then the Ipad. I always say I love the Ipad from a users point for the ease of use, but hate it as a Tech for the limited ports and all the addons needed to do anything.:gaah:
 
Sorry but Windows 8 is rubbish for what I do. I use my laptop for work and my software will not function as it should. I use AutoCAD 2013, Inventor and 3D studio and even the new AutoCAD 2014 does not (at this date) function on properly W-8. My only way out was to wipe the hard drive and install W-7 but I did lose my Ethernet port....no problem as I use Wifi anyway. Neither of my quadcopters like W-8 either...my Naza flight controllers are finicky that way.

As usual Microsoft mantra:lecturef_smilie: "Rush it out now, fix it later".
