Lack of speed is the drawback, yes. Most forum scripts now will let you "skin" the interface, and for PHPBB, for example, there are many templates with minimal graphics so the pages load very quickly. The older boards like wwwboard are notoriously slow simply because they choke on the data they're trying to digest. The newer scripts are written in PHP with a mySQL backend and they are very responsive and quick. This, combined with the right template, can make for an extremely fast board. -- Regards, Don Zeigler * bringing you boring sigfiles for over 14 years * ...Ask not what your computer can do for you... www.donzeigler.com | This message brought to you by The Bat v1.61 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
