So we've upgraded to proboards v5, and thankfully didn't lose anything in the process. Here is a list of noticeable changes.
- Huge visual improvement to the overall forum, including both the ORL and Mayan themes/skins.
- Improvements to the management of all member groups, and the ability to request to join certain groups.
- Member groups for each official team. You are required to be a part of your team's group in order to access their discussion board. Anyone found joining the group for a team that they are not on will be punished accordingly.
- A shoutbox that is linked to your forum account, so there is no impostors. Displays at the bottom of most pages.
- Unreal's Corner, Driver Stats, and Racing News with Rebel are all located under the same board now. (This actually happened slightly before we switched to proboards v5)
- The ability to create and display your own avatar (optional). Similar to XBL avatars but not animated at all.
- The ability to follow other forum members. If two forum members follow each other they become friends.
- Index navigation from any forum page (hover over the button near the top left that says "ORL Forum". I'm not talking about the one that says "Forum Home", I mean the one directly under it).
- Links to the Calendar, Youtube channel, ORL Home Page, and Halo Waypoint in the navigation bar.
- Participated button at the top right, under your name, that shows the threads you have recently participated in.
- Profile status updates, like facebook kinda.
- In place of karma there is now the ability to like individual posts.
- Recent Threads and Recent Posts button in the Info tab at the bottom of the forum index.

I just made the Mayan theme/skin look a lot cooler, it now has a checkered black/grey background instead of the boring old grey, which makes the actual forum stand out nicely

My practice carried on longer than expected so I missed my third race in a row -___- You better believe I'll be back on the podium this week though

The only bad thing is that there isn't a "NEW" tab at the top that shows the most recent posts in forums...

The only bad thing is that there isn't a "NEW" tab at the top that shows the most recent posts in forums... I'm working on this. EDIT: Top right button that will read "New" participated should clearly display new posts in threads you are currently taking part in. Fixed an issue where it was showing threads you had looked at but not posted in.

Fixed an issue where it was showing threads you had looked at but not posted in. You don't even have to make it have threads that you are currently taking part in either, I'm fine with just seeing all the recent posts like the old NEW button.
