• 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.

Hello!

Obviously, I'm new to the Group but also new to the world of three wheeled "bikes" ... is that the right terminology or should I say trike??? Previous Harley owner but haven't rode in about 10 years. I don't own a Spyder YET but very interested so that's why I'm here - to learn as much as I can before a final purchase decision. Buying plan is sometime next year unless I'm presented with a "can't pass it up" deal. :D Looking to purchase a newer model RT Limited.
 
My membership seems to still be in a pending approval status as I'm unable to post, reply, etc. Can you please assist with approving my membership?
 
It might take a day or so yet, SpyderHyder, especially if there's a weekend in there; maybe even more if it's not all that easy to find & verify that you are really who you say you are/from where you say you are from, given just the info that you've entered in your registration details - but aside from that, all this checking & processing is done in an effort to make sure the Forum remains usable and isn't swamped by dodgy registrations/spammers/scammers/unsolicited ads, etc. and while there might be a couple of us Moderators who can help with it juuuust a little, the majority of the effort all comes back on one person who already puts in a heap of effort elsewhere just to keep us running; and occasionally, keeping the site running takes priority over anything/everything else! ;)

But rest assured, all your joining processing will be completed just as soon as it can be, and your username will turn blue to signify that! In the meantime, please be patient, or if you want to hit the ground running once you can post, reply, etc, there's all those links SpyderBOT listed that you could be reading; plus there's a bunch of Stickies that are permanently listed at the top of each section/sub-forum which contain a heap of info that will help you get the best from the Forum AND help others to help you too; and apart from those, you can always still scroll/search thru the existing threads &/or read the older threads to see if any questions you might have or that might arise may have already been answered! :lecturef_smilie: After all, there's not too much about Spyders that HASN'T already been at least discussed here; if not already been asked and answered at some time in the 15 plus years the Forum's been around now - Spyders really haven't changed too much in that time, at least not since the change to the 1330 ACE Triple engine back in 2014 anyway, so pretty much apart from local prices & availability, it likely all still applies! :yes:

If you're looking at buying soon, and you want to know all the usual things before you commit, IIRC there are at least a couple of recent threads asking questions about just that on the What's New, New Posts & Today's Posts search results/displays - have you checked them out yet?? :dontknow: Here's some links:

https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...-reliability-power-and-buyer-s-remorse-issues

https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...dvice-on-Buying-New-or-Used-Opinions-Thoughts

Good Luck - and here's looking forward to seeing you out on the more frequented pages pretty soon! :cheers:
 
Thanks for the explanation and I certainly understand the due diligence to keep the site clean and free of riffraff. Due to personal and professional reason, I don't have a big social media presence (twitter, X, instagram, etc.) so you might have a hard time finding me. I do have a restricted facebook page if that helps and I can send you a link. Additionally, for the same reason as my lack of social media presence, I didn't complete all the information in my spyderlovers.com profile page but I will go back and add in a little information. If there anything I can do or information I can provide to make the clearance process easier for you/admin/Mods, I'm willing to provide that but would prefer to do it with minimum public disclosure.

Thanks much for the additional links provided, I'll definitely give them a good read as I'm sure they'll be as information as the others posted by SpyderBOT. I've been reading through a lot of posts and have already learned so much which I really appreciate.
