Recently there was long thread about the BCA. I can now post possible answers to some of the questions, such as "Why is the BCA still raising membership prices when there is a significant amount still left in its coffers?"
I've always had issues with slow page loads on the forum. Didn't matter where I was connected or if I was on my Celeron laptop or i7 desktop.
Whatever you've done has made the forum change pages in a snap now for me. Cheers for that!
That's good news - I've just upgraded to the latest SMF release and upgraded any mods installed. It's quite possible something amongst that lot was causing speed issues.
