I dont know what all that sh*t means but good on ya mate!.,.,
nice to see the forum is growing,.. i feel at home here and im only here 2 months ,.,.lol,.
this place seems to attract a certain class of people, most of them very nice and helpful! unlke other forums ive been on,.,. ,

my guide photo's are uploading faster aswell

Much quicker, well done mate

Lets the donations begin... as it's in everyone's interest

it is much quicker, as other people said so thanks

you certainly can tell the speed difference especially when you use the search

Cheers Ben It's so much better. It was getting really frustrating sitting waiting for threads to open.
Any chance of "back to the top" buttons in the threads? Don't know how much work that entails but I've seen it in other forums.
Thanx once again.

its amazing how far this forum has come in the last 4 years..Well done Ben you must be very proud

I know! Who would have thought it, from 20 posts a month, to around 1000 a day!! Which reminds me, we're going to hit 1 million soon... and our 5 year birthday is soon too

Well done Ben, this has improved things 1000% and it is a great forum and the members are keen to offer advice. Keep up the good work and long may the forum continue to grow.

I appreciate all your effort too!.. This is definitely the best of all the forums i visited so far and you are all the nicest people. Yeah, we all know it costs, so what should be done shall be done!

Great work Ben!
And thanks for explaining the difference between SCSI and those other hard drives. Long live SCSI! I remember transfer rates of 3Mb/sec on a Mac I was using for video capture in 1993, my PC with its IDE drive could only manage 700Kb/sec.

Anyway you might be interested to know that from my place, there's no apparent performance improvement at all, not that there ever needed to be I never thought of the forum as being 'slow', since I think we're used to all sites on the other side of the world taking some time. Makes me wonder how fast it is at your place! Doesn't it always take a minute or so to create a new thread

PS. I've just realised, of course, that the 12-13hour timezone difference would have accounted for why the forum has always been a consistent speed here - there aren't many users online when I am, so I can imagine that with a large number of users it must have slowed down a lot more than I would have noticed.
