Upgraded to vBulletin 3.5.4
The Oddworld Forums are now sporting the latest vBulletin version. Things might look out of place at the moment, as we have basically had to revert all templates in order to gain all the new functionality. This is obviously an extremely difficult task, so you'll have to bear with us.
Should anything out of the ordinary appear, please post the issues in here and one of us will attend to them.
