For now you can go over and check out how they work and get better prepared.Please note that if you setup your avatar or signature over there you'll have to do it again tomorrow for this site.  We decided to have two profiles so you can visit the national boards and use different info if you choose. Here's the list of boards available now, some are premium only: <a href="https://forums.rivals.com/">https://forums.rivals.com/</a>  (Be careful on the Main Boards, it's not always safe for work)Here's a good thread for testing the boards: <a href="https://forums.rivals.com/threads/test-all-sigs-avatars-etc-here-dont-make-separate-ones.72004/">https://forums.rivals.com/threads/test-all-sigs-avatars-etc-here-dont-make-separate-ones.72004/</a>Here's some of the new features...Better media embedding so you can share pictures, videos, tweets, vines, Instagram, Youtube videos, etc.Private messaging for both users and the staff to contact you when you've been bad...this is a premium only feature.Mobile experience is nearly identical to the desktop version so links and media will be much easier to share and you can use other features like "ignore" and private messaging.
