Can any of you tell that the forum is now much faster to load, especially the large lists of messages?

I made one change to the database structure and, poof, the list pages load in my T1 connected computer in about 1/2 second compared to the ten or so seconds before the change.

I apologize to all of you for not figuring this out sooner.

With this annoying issue out of the way, I am going to proceed with further developments on this forum software. I hearby open the doors to suggestions for improvements. Currently on my to do list are:

• Customized login settings (user profiles) allowing you folks who want black text on white background to have exactly that.


• More options on thread views including seeing all the messages in a thread on one page; I guess I can make these setable under the user profile too.


• Some kind of email notification ability that will send responses of posts to the address I have in my user system.


• Similarly, the ability to have all new messages in selectable forums sent to the email address for users who want this.


• Maybe, just maybe, a way to post to this forum via an email. Don't hold your breath on this one, but I have had several requests.


• A better way to locate old threads on topics of interest.
