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.

I do not know if this will help as not enough info in your question to understand.
On my 2011 RTS if I have my foot on the break peddle pressing down on it (like to stop from rolling), and then I press the parking break switch, I will get a parking break fault. When you press the parking break switch a motor moves a cable putting on the breaks. If your holding the peddle down the you stall the motor that turns the cable and the computer does not see the break sense switch turn off, it causes a parking break fault. To clear it, I must turn off the key, wait, and turn it back on.
So basically do not hold your foot on the break peddle and hit the parking break switch.
Only other thing you may have if this is not the cause is a problem with the switches that sense the break peddle and parking break. Maybe dirty or not working right.
