Overview

This is a significant update spanning several Xenforo versions worth of changes, bugfixes & feature improvements.

Highlights include the new Collapsible Forum Categories and Discussion Grid - giving forum visitors greater UI experience. The featured and logo icon carousels also provide new settings, such as the ability to randomize slides and choose the starting slide order.
