Is it just me? And did it just speed up a bit?
I really don't know what I'm doing here, but I would think that our little forum should be performing better.
ADSL connection: 2.5Mbps down - 750Kbps up
AMD 800Mhz
256 Meg RAM
Win2K
IIS
Anybody have any IIS tweak ideas? I have already ripped out every possible extra bit of MS fluff. Maybe time for Apache after all, eh Henry?

So, after all this, the problem was solved in 15 seconds by reseting the damn modem. Live and learn.

You're running a Micro$oft product. That explains the slowness of these boards.
A little suggestion, change the web server (if possible) to Linux and apache. this will 1. speed up your page request times, and secondly decrease the ease to which some one could break into the server.

You're preaching to the choir, brother. Problem is, I just gotta have my GUI. And it's gotta be MY GUI, and not one that changes month to month and add-on to add-on. I'm just NOT that l33t! :-)
(oh, if Henry pipes up claiming that he IS, just ignore him)

Hey, the only command prompt OS I was ever good at was MS-DOS... so I wont even try to pretend I know anything about Linux...

Your GUI, no prob's use XWindows, you can even make it look like Win95/NT if you want.
As far as command line stuff is concerned, you probably wouldn't even need it as everything (with only a few exceptions, of which you would probably never need.) can be done from the gui.
cheers

Hey, I've just had a brain wave, get Matrix-Orbital to employ me as the web adminstrator and I'll make this thing fly quicker than it ever has....(Yes this would mean a box rebuild) and make it easier to update other web pages as well.
hehehehehehehe
