What's new on BuildrBay.

Reset a forgotten password or username yourself, from the log in page or your profile.

  • New Forgot your username? Enter your email on the log in page and we will email it to you.
  • New Change your password any time from the Security section of your profile by emailing yourself a secure reset link.
  • Improved When your password is changed you now get a confirmation email, and you are signed out of your other devices.

QR codes, blocking and reporting, account deletion, and more control over your builds.

  • New Every shared build now has a QR code on Manage Sharing. Download it as a ready-to-share image with your build name, or year, make and model, and your name on it.

  • Improved Wrong share codes are now limited to a few tries an hour, on the website as well as in the app, to keep private builds private.

  • New Sign up and reset a forgotten password with an emailed code, now also available in the BuildrBay iPhone app.

  • Beta Feature The BuildrBay iPhone app can now use your garage, builds, activity feed, forum, friends, messages and support tickets.
  • Improved Adding or editing a car now checks the name, year, make and model before saving, so mistakes are caught up front.

  • Fixed Extra spaces around part names and details are now trimmed when they are saved.

A quick security check on sign-up.

  • New Upgrade to Basic, Pro or Premium from the Pricing page. Pay monthly or yearly, and your new limits and perks apply as soon as the payment goes through.
  • New Yearly plans cost less than paying monthly, and your first year is discounted even further.

  • New Get notified when someone comments on your feed post, or replies after you've commented.
  • Improved Notifications have a fresh look, with profile pictures, a preview of comments and replies, and grouping by day.
  • Improved Clicking a notification takes you straight to what it's about: the build, the forum post, the comment, the support ticket or the person's profile.
  • Improved Mod list exports only include the part details you've chosen to share.
  • New A changelog page (this one), linked at the bottom of every page.
  • Improved A cleaner footer with quick links to the Privacy Policy, Changelog and Contact pages.
