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.

If you fold up the extra length of strap and place it under the handle, push the handle down against the bundle of extra strap and the handle will hold it in place.

Typically small trailers like my Spyder specific Kendon have little or know suspension.
Strapping the Spyder down through the rear wheel and the front lower suspension A-arms allows the Spyder to act like sprung, rather than unsprung, weight.
If the trailer has a wooden deck, screwing a piece of two by two, or two by four on its side, across the deck for a stop to give the Spyder something to stop up against when loading helps when securing the front straps and ensuring the Spyder always parks in the optimal place for the correct tongue weight for trailer hitch to the tow vehicle. A sort of chock if you will. Or you can screw in a couple of RV wheel chocks if you prefer. This way you can load the Spyder, strap it by the front against that stop, then tension things with the rear strap.
My Kendon trailer you just load the Spyder up against the front rail which acts as a chock.
